Things Deaf People Are Sick of Hearing: “My sign is rusty.”

Maybe you learned ASL years ago and haven’t used it much since, or maybe you are just getting back into classes. You haven’t signed for a year or two, so you’re worried that your signing skills are “a little rusty.” Good news! Sign language doesn’t rust or dissolve! You will be surprised at how much you remember, and how quickly the language comes back to you. Getting back into using ASL is just like riding a bike, just jump on and get going! ASL is a valuable tool for communication, it doesn’t matter what level you are at now or how great you used to be before. Use the sign language that you know, and you’ll be learning new things faster than you can imagine!
