My day job is being a full-time tenured ASL Instructor at California State University (Sacramento). I'm Deaf/hh, my wife is d/Deaf, I hold a doctorate in Deaf Education / Deaf Studies. I've been teaching American Sign Language for over 20 years and I am passionate about it. Signing is a useful skill that can open up for you a new world of relationships and understanding.

This cartoon (adapted with permission from the artist) sums up my philosophy regarding curriculum. Another very real and important part of the Lifeprint ASL curriculum project is that of being able to use the "magic" of the internet to provide a high quality sign language curriculum to those who need it the most but are often least able to afford it. Thus, going through the lessons sequentially starting with lesson 1 allows you to reach communicative competence in sign language very quickly-and it is based on second language acquisition research (mixed with a couple decades of real world ASL teaching experience). Then I took the concepts that appeared the most frequently and translated those concepts into their equivalent ASL counterparts and included them in the lessons moving from most frequently used to less frequently used. I compiled lists of concepts from concordance research based on a language database (corpus) of hundreds of thousands of language samples.

If you are a man and find problems with connecting to a woman, you need to take up the am I gay quiz, which provides you with a perspective. They feel more secure and attached when they are with men more than women. Men being attracted to another man emotionally, physically, and mentally are known as gays. Sex with a girlfriend doesn't excite youĮven if some of the wildest adventures with your girlfriend don't excite you and the image of another man shirtless or a naked image excites you to the core, then there are chances that you might be gay. If you get excited about seeing him romantically, sexually then there are chances that you are gay. When you don't find your hormones getting excited when you spot a beautiful woman, then you need to check if you get attracted at very high levels when you see a man. But if you find yourself checking out other women when other men when you are with your girl, then do think it over again.

If ever in your life, you had cheated a girl for another man, and then it surely indicates that you have some extreme level of attraction towards the man more than what you have for the girl.
