Subnostr

In high school, I was taking Latin. I found out that my teacher also taught ASL. My friend and I both took 2 years of ASL in high school, then 1 more year in college.

We would practice outside of class everyday and would sign with each other instead of speaking.

That was in 1997-1998.

🫨Your teacher enjoyed some of the more interesting languages! Latin + a silent one!

That is so cool you took that much ASL in HS (and have retained it)!! Do you still sign?

I definitely still sign at every opportunity! I found out that a woman I work with at a local soup kitchen was an interpreter and we sign regularly.

I also try to introduce myself and offer to help if I see people signing in stores as well. It’s a great feeling to be able to help.

That's awesome (+ serendipitous)!! It's definitely fun to find other signers in the "wild" + get to chat in sign!!

Very cool you've had opportunities to continue using it!!

I’m glad I met someone who signs on nostr! This is going to be a lot of fun to see these challenges!
