Dano, my dogs always respond better to and seem to prefer hand signals. They all get deaf as oysters when they’re old so I make it a point to use hand signals when they’re younger. Which is my long-winded way of saying I think ASL fits nicely with your other plans. It’s kind of cool to think you’re into communicating with your hands. I believe Spaniards “talk with their hands” a lot, too. All you need is some Italian to complete the picture. (I, of course, come from a people who dance with their hands pasted to their sides so what do I know from hands-on communication?)
Best wishes,
Sherry

I used to dive with my dad. It’s not good when your dive buddy can’t hear if you rap on your tank.

A few years ago, I started to study American Sign Language. It was offered by our holding company. It is a lovely language, a dance of words and expressions.

As I return to school to become a dog trainer and service animal specialist, I think I should return to school for ASL, as well as Spanish.

I hope that you are able to hear the trees drip, the birds flutter and dip and the hiss of a bus as it lowers to let on those who might not make the first step.

All blessings.
