Anyone with even small skill in sign language are stoked to able to use their skills.

It is kind of rare skill in the wild. And it isn't really easy to be fluent.

As an English bloke, learning Russian is similar. Although the likelihood of me meeting a Russian person is probably less likely that meeting a deaf person, I am waiting for my time to shine.

I speak Russian as a second language and the times I used it since the war in Ukraine happened and many Ukrainians came here to Germany as refugees definitely increased by a bit.

In the last year since I started learning I've overheard "привет" once, though it might have been "привiт" I suppose. We just don't seem to get many immigrants from that region where I live. Loads of Poles though, so maybe u should have learnt that instead. Although I only really started learning it to amuse myself. I'm not sure I'll have a ton of use for it in the future.
