My best friend is deaf and uses a form of communication different from that of American Sign Language to talk with her parents and friends. It is known as Cued American English. A form of spoken language made visible to the deaf world. Well I love it and feel so fortunate to be someone that can learn more about it. When I was young I wanted to be a Sign Language Interpreter. Well that has changed and now I know that I can become fluent in about three months if I use it daily. How exciting. I am hoping to become fluent and then surprise my friend and her family. It will be great!

Hey fellow cuer,
I came across this blog through another blogger's site (http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2008/01/hearing-woman-chooses-cued-speech-over.html).
Keep up the good work and practice often! I wish we had met when I was in Duluth for the NCSA board meeting back in October.
You go!
Thank you so much Aaron! Cueing has really opened up my eyes into the posibilities that are available for the Deaf community. Thank you for the encouragement and well wishes!
