Comment on How can I properly learn deaf sign languages?
imvii@lemmy.ca 2 weeks agoDeaf people LOVE when hearing folks try to communicate so they’ll do anything they can to help you out generally.
That is the exact opposite of what I experienced when I was learning ASL.

Wow, really?
Can you explain more?
My experience is anecdotal for sure, but it spans a few cities/ regions of the USA. And it aligns with what my formal teachers/hearing friends in deaf families have told me.
I won’t live and die by that but from my experience deaf people are super welcoming.
