So, I’m currently learning both ASL and Spanish. Started approximately at the same time, although a tiny bit earlier with ASL — but that disadvantage for Spanish should easily be made up by the fact that I already know Italian.

I find it both fascinating and hilarious how in ASL I can now have a smol conversation about where I grew up and my hobbies while in Spanish I’m still building silly little sentences that say “in the summer it’s very hot and sunny.” 😆

@thegrumpyenby Personally, I'm enjoying how little ASL is gendered. Gendering nouns was a mistake to begin with, and some languages take it to such ridiculous extremes, I can't stand it. The gender of an object in ASL is "That thing".
@Arspex Totally! Queer ASL, where I take classes, takes it one step further and doesn't teach man/woman in 101 but just person. It's brilliant.
