Hi I'm Mark, late-deafened and hearing again with a CI. I encountered sign along the way & it was helpful even when I didn't really know a thing about it. (Anything helps when you're struggling to lipread!) Taking ASL1 now and need lots of practice!
Started ASL in Jan '12, plus just a few tidbits over the last couple years.
I was frustrated, when losing my hearing, that even if I'd been a fluent signer, no one else around me would know what I was saying anyway. Besides just liking it, I decided I didn't want to be _that_ guy when I encountered someone else who relies on their ASL.
