Grateful for being able to hear via /r/gratitude

I started learning ASL a few months ago. It’s a beautiful way to communicate. I don’t know anyone that’s hearing impaired though. I’m still pretty rusty at it but I’m catching on. Doing the finger spelling during the day helps me retain the letters of the alphabet signs. Learning it is helping me with what I didn’t retain in English class as a kid. I understand what a noun, adjective, etc are now when I didn’t before. So I’m grateful for learning a new language for many reasons but most of all because it helps me appreciate the fact that I can hear.
