I’m surprised that Jeffrey S. Bravin visit In Japan and to see deaf students at Meisei Garuen school for the deaf. That’s really nice of him to get know the deaf students and their education. They’re so adorable deaf children. I love their smilies 😊

It’s such a heartwarming view to see those kids freely expressed themselves in sign language. I had a deaf daughter, she joined deaf middle school last year and learned FSL. She was from a regular school before and I’m sad that she didn’t fit there. Now, she’s happy and expressive when she knew how to sign. I wished that we enrolled her to a deaf school when she’s little.. Great video. Keep it up! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 From the Philippines😊

I love videos like this! I'm hearing and have no Deaf people in my life, but have recently become interested in Deaf culture, history, and sign languages (and the history of those languages!) Videos like these are so so interesting, I really appreciate insights into Deaf schools because they tell us so much about both Deaf culture but also there is a bittersweetness there about how Deaf people could have been thriving for a very long time with full access to language but instead the majority hearing world decided to discriminate, oppress, and try to force them into a hearing-first culture instead of giving Deaf children access to language from birth. The evidence is so clear that with the right environment every child/person will thrive and it took the hearing world far too long to understand that (not that it even really does today!).

Hello my name is Shuhei from Japan. Thank you so much for visiting Japan and the deaf school. I’m not deaf but I’m so much interested in things about deaf communities. I’m so proud of my country having such a great school!!! I’m currently learning Japanese and Nepali sign language and thinking how to make better nepali def students English skills. I’ll be really happy if you give me some advice Thank you!!

6:17 She could be a model, but chose teacher, what a sweet heart. She must be a gentle soul 😊

Oh my god . they so active . I wish to visit there . I'm also hearing impaired but half speaking half signing.

I loved this video! So happy I stumbled upon it. I’ve been interested in sign language for many years. Taught myself to sign my countries alphabet when I was teenager but never used it. Now 10+ years later I stumbled upon worlds first hearing impaired K-pop group and I’ve started learning KSL, ASL and other sign languages. These videos and the K-pop group really motivate me daily to explore the world from a different perspective 🌊🩵✨

This video inspired me with emoted tears. I repeatedly watched it because it is so fascinated.

Wow! That school is really amazing and these children are soo cute when they sign with small hands! 🥰 that surprised me so much when you said ASL and JSL are different but they can understand easier because of deaf culture! I'm deaf and I'm from USA 😊👋

Wow, this video is so special to me. I first saw it when I was an exchange student in Japan in 2020; at that time I didn't know anything about Deaf culture. My teacher just used the video as a way to get us thinking about different ways that people communicate, and how the Deaf students don't feel left out because they're with others who are like them, etc. My opinion of the video back then was "hmm interesting, okay next assignment." 😂 Flash forward to 2021, when I started studying ASL- not to be dramatic but my whole life changed. 😂 Now I'm so passionate about sign language and Deaf culture, community, everything. So that's how this video came on my recommendations; as soon as it started I was like "Oh THAT video!!" And now I'm here in my dorm (...at Gallaudet!! which I still can't believe) re-watching this awesome video. 💕 I really hope to get involved with the Deaf community in Japan someday; I've learned a little JSL and hope to learn more. Plus those kids are ADORABLE. 😂🤟 ~:~

I’m slightly hard of hearing but I’ve been trying to learn ASL for some time now, while also learning Japanese as I love the culture! This is so cool, thank you so much for showing us this experience ❤❤

4:10 The katakana (syllable characters) read "jefu" That's closest to 'Jeff' you can reach with japanese syllabics

That was awesome am deaf and am American that cool see them in different languages

very interesting,gorgeous japan ❤🇯🇵❤

I love this school! From Philippines 🇵🇭❤️

Your video is so informative and well edited! I absolutely learned so much from this video. I loved how the kids were copying how you signed your name very quickly :)haha You mentioned at the very end that even though you have different languages you were able to connect because of sharing your Deaf experience or Deaf gain. I am Japanese American and I know that Japanese people can be exclusive to foreigners. I wonder if your shared Deafness overcame that exclusivity I heard so much about within Japan. It looked like you were very much liked and accepted by the teachers and students. Did you feel that way during your trip? Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

jeff is very cute :D

i love this so much!

Amazing video to show this awesome school for the deaf, though you said it’s the only 1 that’s private? I wish there could be more since I think about the other deaf and mute students who aren’t able to go to this school.

Wow this is amazing school! I have been curious about Japan and wanting to visit and maybe work there too. I'm deaf from Seattle

Why is there no sound in the video? I'm being satire. Sorry if I offended anyone

If there was a way to make it to where you guys could hear would you go thru with it or would it be like a little person wearing long legs to be like tall ppl?......hell that probably didnt make no sense.....
