:) right!

You can do it! Don’t give up:)

getting involved in the Deaf community REALLY helps!! good luck :)

Finds some deaf events in your town! Deaf Starbucks is wonderful

Also change the video speed to 0.75 to see the hand movements more slowly!

Dude honestly, I'm taking sign classes, but I stress about the signing being too slow, and I get too nervous around deaf people to acrually try to sign(I work at a gas station, and deaf people come in often). But this gives me such a good idea kf ehat real signing looks like that I feel so much better about interpreting on the fly. Good stuff!

Aww that's very true. We love them so much!

Good question, many signs can be understood with context, even if I am just signing with one hand. For example, if I am talking about cars, and I signed car with one hand most people would understand that I am talking about cars. :) But some signs really do need both hands haha :)

You can look at Signwithheart youtube. They have some things online. Or ASLpro. or life signs however both of those are old and not the best rescources. My suggestion would be to learn the alphabet and then go to Deaf events and practice :)

@@OurSignedWorld Thank you for the advice. Time to jump on the sign train. I did some digging and found there is a Deaf Society in my city that have regular events.

GREAT!! :D that makes me so happy!

@@OurSignedWorld my son and I learnt some signs this morning. Today at his school assembly he presented. He signed good morning to his school and signed to me that he was excited. As a mum it made me cry. He can't wait to meet the deaf community, be part of and learn more. We are learning NZSL. Thanks for inspiring us as a family.

Thank you :)

Thank you!

Thank you

AWESOME! :D

I believe he's part Lebanese

:)

It definitely has its pro's and con's. Even know when we think about social media and Facetime, that has had a huge impact in the Deaf community! It has allowed them to connect more frequently as hearing people but it has significantly reduced Deaf Clubs and the attendance to Deaf events. Those used to be packed with Deaf people because it was the only time they all had contact since they couldn't just call one another. Now a days, at many deaf gatherings, such as Deaf Starbucks. A lot of the people there are ASL students trying to learn sign language, but there are only a few Deaf people there. So pros and cons... We will see what happens

OurSignedWorld Thank you for answering! I did see a video not long ago-a CODA Brothers satire-about Deaf clubs being mostly ASL students. I wonder if this technology will cause a divide between poor Deaf who can’t afford the gadgets and the Deaf who can. Thank you! I enjoyed this holiday video. Well done!

Yeah we totally agree it’s a step forward but the truth is, it’s still challenging

Yes challenging, but i would really struggle with the fact my spouse cant really just as easy hearing people connecting with people. Look i am a hearing person but my sinussen are always inflammed so breathing isnt easy and my hearing is not 100 %. I had also from birth til i was almost always ear and middle ear infections. So there is a lot of damage in my ears. Because of holes in eardrums. Once i get fitter ear plugs for swimming. But the water still came into my ears. I get my swimming licence a and b and of missers we decided to stop swimming because i non-stop get ear and middle ear infections. And the rule is that most kids overcome these trouble when they pass the age of 12 a 13 mostly then its stops. I was 15 and finally there was peace. Untill i was 23 a 24 years old and going in psychological therapy where we 1 or 2 at week went swimming. And again the earinfection began. And still i have regularly ear infections. And i really love swimming but so often i cant because of my ears. Its so frustrating. Now i also have chronic eczema in my ears what is terribly itching. And by scratching again new ear canal inflammation wich i am terribly deaf to a whil after treatment. Its a circle that never stops. And people who dont know how this is cant really understand it. They talking to me when they walk infront of me or talking from another room and its so tiring to say always “what you say?, i dont understand you, can you come over here” always i think you know it, how often must i tell you this but is normal. Most people can just talk when they hiking without turn themselves on or talking to people from the kitchen when the other is in the livingroom. But i cant. When i phonecall someone i put down the music or tv prefer no sound at all. Dont like festivals or events with loud music and when we have diner guest and eating with 4 people i cant talk crosswise. I think thats the reason why it bother me that deaf people not fully included in a conversation. Its no fun to sit there and stare and dont having a clue whats all about or you cant give any respond to a conversation. Every human has the right to start a dialoque whenever they want. It would be fun if all people know signlanguage. Anybody learns strange languages in class why not their own language in sign so deaf people always can be included. Pity that their are 38 or so different signlanguages. If the whole world has 1 signlanguage than people learn everywhere the same signlanguage and can talk with all deaf people. Its so pity the hearing world the sighted world wouldnt it be nice if there is 1 world with place for everybody. Love sabrina

Yeah most of the time. If I am just talking with Zach I dont sim-com however if there are hearing people involved in the conversation then I would typically sim-com if they don't know any sign language. Sometimes Ill sign then speak english but often I end up using sim-com then if he doesn't understand what I said then I often re-sign it, voice off. Its tough and really depends on the people involved.

Sorry about that. If anything you can turn off the sound :)
