I think the visual effects were very useful in emphasizing your points, very strategic. I can relate to your interpreter-friend's feeling about using ASL all the time, even when conversing with hearing people. This past summer I went to an ASL immersion camp for a week where only ASL could be used. The night before everyone went back home we went to a bar in town and we were allowed to speak. I didn't want to! One camper said to give it a rest, that we could relax. But ASL isn't work for me; it is something as natural as a heart beating. *thumbs up* Your vlog post was very well done.

It only made you look over-aggressive so please tone down a bit. It is as bad as scratching the blackboard (to hearing people) ! Excellent visual effects, but I find that it is TOO MUCH visual noise.

You hit right on the nail about the various languages and about deaf being in oral school, mainstream, etc. and cochlear implants. I went to oral school that forbid ASL and any form of sign language, hell, even homemade signs. At my oral school, we persisted using mostly homemade signs and some ASL. Most of us learned and mastered ASL from teens to now. I could sign both ASL and PSE (SEE) but I'd prefer using ASL mostly. Every deaf, cochlear implanted, hard of hearing, latening deaf should learn ASL to keep in the deaf community. ASL STILL LIVES! FOREVER......EVER! Keep up with great work, Tar! Misha :D Tar! *waves her hands*

It is OK then if I keep trying to learn ASL, even if I'm not so good? Because I love ASL, but it takes a long time to learn if it's not your first language. Deaf people do not realize how smart they are that they understand ASL. It is not easy to learn if you grew up speaking English. Most languages take between five to seven years to become fluent. ASL takes about seven years. It is ONE difficult language to learn. Because it is so hard to learn, this proves it is a REAL langauge! :-) Tar– Thanks again for captioning!!
