For those who haven't met me yet, I'm Nick. I'm a deaf-mute, and although the Nabu is making it easy for me to communicate via text, I was talking to 8 and we decided it would be best if everyone learned some sign language from me, too. It seems like we might end up in a lot of situations where being quiet is the best course of action. And of course, that'll be the quickest way for you to communicate with me in a hurry, so we don't have to both sit and type back and forth.

If you sign up, you'll need to commit to it. It'll be like any kind of language acquisition. It takes constant practice, time, and effort, so you don't lose it, and so you can build on what you've learned in the past.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll figure out how many people want to gather for this.

Yes. If the physical movements are set and the language not encumbered by gesticular tics akin to hesitation markers in vocal speech, you would only need to perform each sign once. I believe the grammar would be assimilated as my vocabulary is built.

If you're sure of that, we'll do some one-on-one sessions in advance of the group sessions. You'd be a great help for people practicing conversation skills in that case.

I am a 12th level intellect. Yes, I'm sure.

I'm not as convinced that my assistance would be beneficial to their learning progress or my stress level.

Don't consider yourself much of a teacher, huh?

[ That's respectable. Nick's more patient than many. ]
