What do deaf people think when you try to communicate with them in sign language? I learned the fingerspelling alphabet when I was younger and a few assorted signs, but I’m very slow. Do you appreciate the effort, or feel frustrated at the difficulty in communication? A deaf woman is a regular at one of my jobs, and I’d like her to feel comfortable.

I am willing to wait with patience while a person tries to get his/her question across with their sign language capabilities. However, if a person does not take it seriously, such as giggling with their friends while they try to communicate, then I can get annoyed. Otherwise, please do take the time and effort to communicate. If all else fails, there is the reliable paper and pen.

I can lipread, but man it gets sooo tiring. I always appreciate the effort that a shy new signer puts forth – and I’m the patient sort, and love to see how well they’ve learned so far. So, try your best, and ask the regular Deafie u mentioned for signs for the most common words. Have fun!
