Tell your representatives that you support the Americans with Disabilities Act and providing d/Deaf people and Hard of Hearing people with ASL interpreters at EVERY government communication.

Want to learn? Awesome! Thank you.
I'm learning BSL (when I'm not increasingly sick -- wear your mask please) cuz I live in the UK.

If you live in the USA, then lingvano.com/asl/ and

Why are so many young people from the USA choosing courses on American Sign Language at school and college?

Three guesses as to motive:

- A thoroughly laudable desire to learn something of benefit to the wider community.

- A less laudable but understandable hope that ASL will be easier than Spanish, French, or other foreign languages.

- Worryingly, an unspoken but powerful drive to evade confrontation with cultures and histories that differ from those of the USA.

I might be wrong on all three counts, of course!
