Sign language

Post by Deafplonker03 »

Hey everyone, hope you are all well.

I was wondering that if you do know sign language? If not, would you learn it?

If it was taught by a woman in rubber gloves, I'd dedicate a year of my life to learn it. :-)

I know a little to some sign language, having two older sisters who are deaf. I should know more but I wasn't a talkative one then (still am), so I didn't pick up on it more than some others in my family, just know general phrases and sentences mostly. It helps if you happen to encounter someone deaf on an odd day, but I guess it depends on how many deaf people there are around your area.
Using an alias but you call me Brett if you want. :)

I learnt some Sign Language when I was in primary school and highschool before then realising that sign language is like a lot of different languages and differs from country to country. So I learnt Auslan, which is the Australian version and very different to every other sign language.
