I noticed some of you said ASL. What made you guys learn it? I went to Rochester Institute of Tech and there was a big deaf population there.

Quote:
I am actually hard of hearing (not deaf) in both ears. Was born that way and I wear hearing aids for this disability. My mother (go figure) wanted me to take ASL in college because my family has a history of hearing loss in their 50s and she felt that there was a high probability of me being deaf. But I can still hear without my hearing aids on. If you ever seen an audio graph, normal hearing is usually a straight line from left to right. But as one ages their audio graph portrays a downward slope from left to right. But for me, I have a straight normal line, then a dip in the middle and back up to the normal line from left to right. AKA a cookie bite. As if someone took a bite out of my hearing. So my hearing aids bring my hearing up to what a normal person hears. A straight line across. It so happens that the pitches that I lost tend to be women's voices. So when my mom gets mad at me, out comes the hearing aids.

This is cool that there are so many of us that speak different tongues. I enjoy speaking / writing in a different tongue whenever I get the chance.

English is my third language. I speak German and French. Serbo-Croatian was lost due to lack of use. I am also quite well versed in Profane.

I speak Bostonian, New Yorker, Texan, and some variations of midwestern and southern. I'm also good with a limited amount of sign language ( well actually only one gesture).

I took German back in Highschool for two years and for the life of me all I can remember is how to say (not spell) "I forgot my homework" hehehe... Slacker I know but I passed with B's without doing the homework.
In College I took ASL so I am rather fluient in it... Though it is slipping away because I don't use it often. It works really well when you are scuba diving. I took it because I really didn't want to take Spanish (a mistake btw when you live in CA). That and I thought the idea of talking behind my siblings backs to my friends without them hearing was a very neat idea

It works well... as long as your buddy knows it... Because you can't laugh underwater (or they can't see it) doing the 'Ha ha' (or thats what I call it, it is probably the Laughter sign) sign makes up for that. Phil is learning some of the 'key words' like look there, this way, ha ha..

My mother tongue is Acadian french which is french mixed with english. It might be close to the "cajun" french, i've never heard their version of the french. The french from atlantic canada were deported to louisiana in 1755 by the english. Some of us came back to canada and some of our ancestors stayed in louisiana. But I am currently learning Italian cause it sounds so sexy

Russian was my first language but I use English considerably more now, besides my family here I only know a few other Russians so I don't get to use it nearly as much as I'd like.

Spanish and a little Italian. I use to be fluent in Italiano but when my grandfather moved back to Italy I lost a lot of it. I spoke three languages fluently by the time I was five. Damn I wish my brain still soaked stuff up like a sponge. Now it works more like a wet sponge.
