Ever feel voice-tired? You know that moment when talking feels like too much? Your throat hurts, you’re yelling over noise, or you’d rather text than speak. It’s real, and it’s exhausting. 😮💨
What if you could take a break from using your voice while still expressing yourself? That’s where American Sign Language (ASL) comes in. Learning ASL is the perfect New Year’s resolution. With ASL Bloom, you don't have to learn alone! You have your Deaf friend, Bloom, and her adorable Labrador, Joy, to help!
Picture this:
- Losing your voice after the flu, a big event, or a long meeting.
- Struggling to order coffee in a noisy shop.
- Or simply wanting a moment of silence, but needing to communicate.
If you’ve ever felt this way, learning ASL will change your life. 💫
Concentration Fatigue: The Deaf Experience
Similar to how you feel voice-tired, Bloom, like many Deaf people, feels concentration fatigue. When communicating with a hearing person who doesn’t know ASL, Bloom has to rely on lip-reading.
Lip-reading is hard and exhausting. Especially in conversations with many people. Did you know that only 30-40% of speech is visible on the lips? Bloom has to fill in the gaps on her own using context, guesswork, and quick thinking. Sometimes, this doesn’t work. Add in accents, mustaches, or fast speech, and the task becomes even harder! This is why she often feels concentration fatigue from all the mental effort. 😫
YOU can help yourself and Bloom! 💪🏼 Start signing, and you’ll stop feeling voice-tired. Bloom will also be grateful because she won’t have to lip-read. Two birds, one stone—that’s the power of ASL! ✨
Plus, you’ll be doing your future self a favor. Hearing loss is common as we age. Many older people rely on lip-reading and often fail to communicate or feel isolated. But you won’t have to! Learn ASL and you’ll be able to communicate effortlessly and comfortably with your hands. Plus, it’s easy on the brain. Liberating isn’t it? 🕊️
So, why not make 2025 the year you give both your voice and your brain a well-deserved rest? Start learning ASL today, and thank yourself tomorrow. 😊
