I think the different troll genres would probably have different cultures around deafness but overall be fairly accepted. The different genres also probably had their own sign language because of the separation. Not completely different but enough that it gets confusing for hearing trolls who don’t know that there are regional signs.

Deaf: Ferdinand Berthier

Ferdinand Berthier (1803-1886) was a French Deaf educator, intellectual, and political advocate in 19th-century France. He was one of the world’s first advocates for Deaf identity and culture. Born on 30th September 1803 in Louhans, Saône-et-Loire, France, Ferdinand Berthier joined the Institut National de Jeunes Sourds de Paris (National Institute for Deaf Youth of Paris) in 1811, then led by…

Us Americans do not realize how unusual it is to only speak one language, and I'm curious to know other bilingual/polyglot peeps casually hang out here. Capping it at 3 is probably too low but, alas, I only have so many bubbles.

American here refers to if you identify as American.

Fluent here refers to if you can effectively intake the language (in whatever form is applicable) and understand it with ease, as well as produce it in a similar fashion and native speakers/signers understand you.

As the token southerner, Roach started saying a bunch of stereotypical southern phrases ironically to make everyone suffer but it of course gradually became less and less ironic.

It started with him getting shit for saying he was fixin’ to do something so he retaliated by graduating his contractions from y’all to y’all’d’ve. He no longer thinks, but reckons. It’s never over there, it’s over yonder.

It only gets worse when he starts signing them as well, mostly using half made up and improvised signs in a bastardization of ASL and BSL

Soap and Gaz maintain that Roach, dumbfounded, signing “What in tarnation?” is the funniest shit they’d ever seen

I'm just curious tbh? Feel free to talk about your experience in the tags x)

Je suis peut-être la dernière au courant, mais j'ai découvert que le Projet Voltaire a mis en ligne un programme d'apprentissage des bases de la LSF (langue des signes française). Et c'est gratuit :3

Je dis pas que ça va nous permettre de finir bilingue, mais ça peut constituer un début :)

being bilingual is awesome. just being able to communicate in another language in itself is so cool but one aspect we don't talk about just as much is the access to information. like, right at your fingertips. just looking stuff on google and realizing wait. I could look up the same thing but in english and I'll get different results?? absolutely changed my life. I actually realized that embarrassingly late in my studies but now it's practically become a habit of mine.

looking up that wikipedia page and it's not very detailed? switch the language. looking up an event/phenomenon/whatever for a paper but you can't seem to find much on it? switch the language. world news that haven't be covered in your country? swith the language.

learning a second language has like. expanded my world view and my range of possibilities so much it's incredible. of course not every language has as much documentation available online, and english is very much at an advantage in that field, but there is a community for every culture out there. and realizing you can actually be a small part of it because you speak the language is a feeling like no other.

I wish I knew other languages so I could learn things the english and french speaking worlds are not knowledgeable about. I wish I knew every language, but alas, we only have so much time....

j’aimerais apprendre tous les langues et je suis triste que je n’en peux pas :( ma langue maternelle est l’anglais, et j’étudiais le français depuis cinq années au collège et lycée. maintenant j’apprends le chinois. je veux apprendre l’espagnol et l’ASL aussi mais je ne pense pas que c’est une bonne idée d’essayer d’apprendre trois langues à une fois. l’espagnol est similaire au français, donc peut-être ça serait plus facile?

Might be weird to say, but learning a sign language feels very different than a spoken language. At least it was that way for me. Like you'll suddenly get frustrated about spoken languages, but you won't confuse them as much.

If you feel secure in your French and are capable of using it as a reference, then it seems fine.

I'd say go for it.

Either what way you choose, good luck!

When I try to speak Spanish, my sign language improves

When I try to sign, my French improves

When I try to speak French, my English slips in

All the while my terribly-basic-and-purely-for-fun-and-because-I-could Esperanto gets sprinkled in

good morning can i show you guys the christmas card my little sister wrote me in french (she does not know any french)

joyeux Noël, j'espère que vous comprenez ce que je dis compte tenu de la fiabilité de Google Translate. Jespère qu'à l'avenir nous voir plus de deux fois par an. Je ne sais pas vraiment quoi dire d'autre, alors joyeux Noël et j'espère que papa t'a offert. Profitez également des autres choses que je mets sur la carte au lieu de vous ècrire un essai complet.

and then she wrote me a little crossword and a "connect the language to its way of saying 'merry christmas'" game 😭
