I’m learning American Sign Language by myself, but I’ve realized what’s the use of it?

So, where can I use my knowledge of sign language?
I don’t know any deaf people, and I live in the Philippines( I don’t know if we use ASL here or some other sign languages)
.

  1. ohhh my god!!!!

    ohhhh in philippines, im not sure if philippines use AMERICAN sign language.
    im sure they used other sign language in philippines.

  2. ASL is not a universal language. Sign language can vary from place to place. I think it’s great that you are teaching yourself! I say keep it up! I was born hearing impaired and I learned Sign Language when I was a kid because I went to school for the deaf and the hearing impaired. I forgot Sign language because I didn’t have anyone to sign with. BUT I took it again in College and my teacher said to use a mirror so you can see the way letters/words look. Best advise! Also when I was in college we had webcams which made it possible to sign with someone eslewhere. You should check around your area and don’t give up!
