    Have you ever met a deaf person? If so, what did you think of them? If not, what do you think about deaf people?

    I'm taking American sign language II for one of my classes, so I know a a few things.

    I have indeed met a deaf person. No big deal really, they can do basically all the same things we can do. Their still functional, it wasn't hard to communicate with her either she could read my lips very well and could kinda enunciate her words just enough so I could understand.

    The girl I met was very nice =).

    My neighbors are deaf, it's not very hard to communicate with them and they are pretty friendly people.

    Nope, and don't really want to. I think it would just be weird because I can't really talk.

    Yes, one time I was running in this summer camp I went to and accidently bumped a little girl and I told her sorry, but her big sisters told me she was deaf so I had to make like a certain gesture in sign language. This was like 5 years ago so I don't really remember how the gesture was.

    I've met many deaf people, but all I can say in sign language is 'Blow.Job'

    It's sad, really.
