American Sign Language

Hello..

i am a fairly fluent signer and i love when i have the chance to sign with people. unfortunately i moved away from my home town where i left behind all my friends who could sign and my deaf friends. i still sign to myself sometimes and catch myself signing along to songs... but i really need to have a person to sign with to keep me up to parr with my signing skills..

i don't know how to find a deaf friend around me, or how to ask someone to be a signing buddy.. i am a little shy.

is there any way that you can think of that will keep me signing confidently? i know that practice makes perfect, but sometimes it just doesn't cut it signing to myself.

Call the local public library and talk with a reference librarian. He/she will give you the names and phone numbers of organizations in your area that will link you to ASLers.
