Ok so today I was just wondering this. Why do deaf people need to learn sign language?
I mean I’ve never seen a person ever do sign language in my whole life until like 2 weeks ago when I was on vacation with my mom and sister in Japan, and I saw this lady on the monorail do sign language to her husband. ( I think ) Then I wondered why does she need to learn it if deaf people can still talk? Isn’t sign language like something that deaf people speak with? And since they can’t hear, isn’t there this thing called a hearing ad? And is it hard learning lips? Because then if some people could, then that must be cool because then it’ll be like regular talking. Just a little harder.
So why would deaf people need sign language when it’s only used to talk. Can’t they talk but not hear?
Lol, I just reambered this,
That deaf lady that I saw in Japan that was doing sign language, she noticed that I was looking at her as if I was really confused because I have no clue how to speak sign language. Then when she nocticed, she did this motion with her hand then a shake-a-shaka thing. ( you know like that thing that you do with your hand were you put down three of your fingers: the middle, the pointer and the ring finger? then you shake your hand.) And stuck out her tunge. I thought it ment hi in sign language. lol
oh wow, I’ve neverd heard of being born deaf and that when your born deaf the person can’t hear the words being said so they need to lean sign language, oh wow thanks you guys answerd this question fast lol.
oh wow, thanks I neverd knew why they need to learn sign language. now i know thanks you guys

A person needs the re-enforcement of hearing to be able to talk. While my oldest cousin mastered the art of talking by lip reading, she has always had a some what strange accent. I never did know that she was deaf until a few years ago. If a person can not get the lip reading right, or is never taught, then to be able to communicate, they use sign language. While I have never learned it, it is fascinating to watch. I seriously doubt that the tongue thing was a greeting.
People who are born deaf rarely ever learn to speak unless they go through extensive schooling to learn how to do so, and even then the ability is limited. People who are born without hearing usually cannot learn to speak because they have never heard the words being said. This make sign language necessary.
People who become deaf at some point in their lives after learning to speak before its occurrence can usually still talk, though. Even these people may use sign language, as it is probably more convenient.
While deaf people have the physical ability to talk, many do not know how to do it. People learn to speak by listening to others speak. If you can’t hear, then you can’t hear the proper way to say words. Most deaf people who can speak could hear earlier in their life. This is when they learned to speak. Also, hearing aids don’t help people who are totally deaf, just as glasses don’t help blind people.
deaf people can sound ,but they they cant make a right sounds because they cant Correct their sound via hearing what they themselves said.
but they can use their eyes to make sure what he express is right.
even if they hand sign is wrong ,they can correct it.
you are a little girl?
well, think about it….
Deaf people can’t hear.
Deaf people can talk.
Deaf people can see.
So other non-deaf people have to be able to communicate with them. How?
They can’t talk to them because the deaf can’t hear
It also kind of gets hard to read lips, you must admit
If they won’t be able to hear them, how else can they communicate?
SIGN LANGUAGE!!!!! that’s right…
But the deaf person must be able to understand sign language, or else it would never work. By understanding sign language, the deaf person can know what the other person is saying, without the other person having to talk.
Think about it…
