I CANT DRIVE 55 BY SAMMY HAGAR (SIGN LANGUAGE)


Theoriginal recording of the Artist and Music inspired me, Ive made my own version in translating it into my ASL for the deaf community. I sign it in my OWN way and in my OWN style! This is not intended for a business purpose distribution and/or personal gains. I DO NOT OWN this song….THIS IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES…..

how does a deaf baby learn language?

for a baby born deaf, how does he/she learn language, especially written language (knowing that the word “CAR” means car even though he/she has never heard a single sound in his/her llfe)?

if sign language is one of the pathways to this success, then is it possible to teach a child who is born deaf to read and write without the intermediary of sign language?
would they be able to figure out the usage of words like “the”, “a”, and other ambiguous terms like “this”, “that”, “here”, “there”, “I”, “you”, “he”…etc without sound and sign language?

Those are pretty abstract ideas, and can a child learn how to piece these all together without the help of sound (being deaf) and without signing, to eventually write a grammatical sentence correctly conveying his/her thoughts? A sentence such as:

“That chair was moved here from there while he went that way”

also, would it be possible for such a child to make the following grammatical mistake of using “goed” as a past tense for “go”, or would he/she just base her sentences on pure memory such that he/she always uses “went” instead?
