[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's deaf. We met online, communicated by text until meeting in person, when we go out now we communicate via text or a notebook. He can talk, but he won't use his voice with me. [b]I'm learning a little ASL.[/b][/quote] So, you want him to meet you on your terms (spoken English) but are only willing to learn "a little" of his language? I cannot see how this is going to work out long term. You need to stop treating him like he has a disability that you are willing to overlook, and start treating him as someone from another cultural and linguistic tradition. [/quote] I think she means that she is starting to learn ASL. You don't learn a whole new language overnight. [/quote]
