The San Francisco ASL Group :)

"Well my name is Mary and I am speaking. Every since I was a kid I wanted to learn sign language, but have only just taken a class. I love it, I just wish I knew and knew people who also know it."

"Hey Leona! I know you have a hard time as a mom to make yourself free for ASL meetup. It's so nice of you that you keep trying to make it. We are looking forward to seeing you again this Friday. We may also do one of the next meetings at a coffeplace and we might then finally meet your two little signing boys :) Just let me know!"

"Hey kaia! cant wait for the asl Festival!"

"Hi heather, its ariel, just stopping by your profile and i notice you are part of many hiking groups. i love hiking too! do you hike regularly?"

"Hi Michelle! ASL4!!!? Wow!! Welcome! You must be an expert in signing now. Hope to see you here soon!"

"Hi Theresa! Welcome to the ASL group! Hope to see you soon! "

"Hi Shannon, Welcome to the group. Deaf-Yoga?? Wow!! Sounds exiting. In which neighbourhood of SF can I get classes ? :) Hope to see you soon."

"Hi! I am a speech therapist and use very basic ASL to help toddlers who don't (yet) speak transition into using language to communicate. I've taken ASL 1, and loved it, but don't remember much and would love to expand my vocabulary beyond a two-yea"

"My mother is from Japan and hard-of-hearing. I am beginning to learn ASL with my best friend, Elizabeth. We are taking lessons from Steve, a deaf certified ASL instructor found on Craigslist."

"Hey Miro, We could not find you. First we were at the skyterasse, then we had table in "M" floor at Medjool. Around 9:30 -9:45 pm we went to Doc's clock Bar right across Medjool because we finished dinner at Medjool and for some people the roof was too cold...We were looking for you but couldn't find you. :( "

"Hey Jon, Your bookmobile picture is really great!! Does this bookmobile also stop in my neighbourhood sometimes? (Mission/Dolores). Anyway, it was great that you finally joined my ASL group last night. We had lots fun with you. Good luck for studying for ASL 3 test..I haven't yet started to prepare for it yet. :)"

"Hi, Katrin! It's ironic, we have traveled quite often but never to California! It would be terrific to come out and meet you as well as the rest of the meetup friends. We think you are doing an awesome job learning ASL as a 2nd language - sign language, that is. We're new with the meetup and we love it. Wish we did this long ago but all the filming and meetings took us away from the "internet" generation that is blooming now. Hear from you soon and looking forward, Gilda and Avery"

"Hi I'm hearing and currently taking Asl 4 in Livermore, would like to contin. my studies, practice and make new friends. "

"Hi Avery and Gilda, I see you are from New York!! Wecome to the SF ASL group. Let me know when you are in the city and we can try schedule something to meet us. It sounds like you are teachers for ASl. How exciting!!"

"Hi, everyone. As ASL educators and enthusiasts ourselves, we are always interested in supporting and working with others of similar interest and aspirations in the world of American Sign Language and fields of interpreting."

"i am looking for meetings for my child who has an ASL class."

"Hello, My name is Natalie and I am a student at LMC in Pittsburg, CA. I would like to find more deaf events in my area to go to so I can practice my ASL. My class only meets once a week. If anyone lives nearby and wants to practice, let me know!"

"My name is Shannon and I help teach a Deaf-only Yoga class in SF. My roommates and I are learning ASL from our good friend K10 who is Deaf. I'm signing up for ASL 1 in the fall in Berkeley. I love ASL and am excited to meet up with others!"

"Hi there! I am an ASL student and I'm also Hard-of-Hearing. I can still hear fairly well, but I need to learn how to sign to continue communicating. Also, I'm a gamer. =D"
