Being able to see
Same as we learn to speak.
You show an infant/toddler a dog and you say “dog” well you show a deaf infant/toddler a dog and you sign “dog”.
Same concept.
they see how to form thier hands…if they have sense it is easy
they point to things. seriously. the person teaching them points to something then makes the sign with their hands.
They don’t know what the words sound like! They know what they look like and what they stand for.
They use their other senses.
by writing
deaf people if deaf from birth rely on their leftover senses such as sight, taste and smell. and they learn through sight and can comprehend what each hand signal means even if they cant hear how each sounds. just as we learned to talk, they can learn how to use their hands.
THEY CAN’T HEAR BUT IT DOESN’T STOP THEM FROM LEARNING.
especially deaf children with deaf parents. The parents sign when they care for their children. The children sign back. This is the same way children learn any language their parents speak (or sign).
aomgmc77 is right. They see the signs, and learn to produce them themselves. It’s basically the exact same process that hearing children go through when they learn to speak.
