I'm Kouhei Sugihara, and I'm a tutor and student at Recollé U. I mostly offer tutoring for basic subjects, but lately, a few of my friends have been asking me to teach them sign language. I don't use it much in my daily life, but since I've had hearing problems since I was young, I'm fluent in Japanese sign language and pretty comfortable with American sign language. I don't mind teaching it, since it's something I know a lot about, and everyone keeps telling me that other people might be interested too. So...

Just in case, if I offered sign language tutoring, would anyone be interested? I don't really have a way to get the word out aside from Retrospec, and I'd feel more comfortable offering it to a smaller number of people first. I've been thinking of going for my ASL teaching certification anyway, so... If you want to learn anything, whether it's fingerspelling (letters) or basic signs or something else, I can help you.

Sorry if this isn't the right place for this or something. Thanks.

Really? I always read alone, since I wouldn't want to bore anyone. And I don't think I've read out loud since I was young.

My Mom's a chef, so I know that firsthand. I'm more casual about it. But with gardening, I have a few herbs growing by my window and could probably try some indoor flowers.

They aren't bad hobbies to have, but I still admire people dedicated to something like you.

How cute. I can see how that would influence you even now. My voice is pretty nasally, though, and I'm not used to speaking too loudly, so...

Oh, sorry... I should be more positive and open minded.

In any case, the more you talk about it, the more I'm looking forward to hearing you sing. Even if some of the frequencies are lost on me, singing still sounds nice to my ears. It'll be fun.

Just let me know when you perform and I'll be there.
