    I did not invest my time to learn sign language until I met Sue, who is deaf and works hard every day to talk with and listen to me. It seemed only fair for me to attempt to learn her favorite language and try to communicate in her comfort zone part of the time as well. I’m not fluent yet, but I can finger-spell radically already! And I know most of the signs for my favorite foods…

    I did not know ASL existed when I was in public school and had only a dim awareness of it in college when I saw someone signing for the first time. So I’d have to say that a lack of information was also in there.
