I'm a hearing linguist. "Why did you get into sign languages?" is a question I get. Answer: I wanted to do linguistics, went to Stockholm Uni, got exposed to Swedish SL at the dept, got curious, enrolled in a class, got hooked, and continued parallel linguistics + sign language.
I took my first SSL class in 2007, just a tiny intro, more about structure than learning how to sign. A year later, I enrolled in a full-time class, took two semesters. After that, I was allowed to join a SL linguistics class, taught fully in SSL. I was the only hearing student.
