HAVE YOU SEEN PEOPLE SIGNING SOMEWHERE

BEFORE?

PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND UP IF YOU DO!!

BEFORE I START TO TEACH ALL OF

ABOUT SIGN LANGUAGE FIRST

o SIGN LANGUAGE IS VISUAL COMMUNICATION.

SIGN LANGUAGE IS GENERAL.

I USE AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE, TO BE SPECIFIC,

AMERICANS SIGN. YOU CAN SIGN TO COMMUNICATE WITH
OTHER IN LONG DISTANCE, NOISY CROWD, AND UNDER
WATER!!
 BEFORE I BEGIN TO TEACH ALL

LANGUAGE IS NOT UNIVERSAL. PEOPLE IN MANY
COUNTRIES HAVE THEIR OWN SIGN LANGUAGE.

AN IMPORTANCE OF FACIAL EXPRESSION IS TO

SUPPORT THEIR CONVERSATION SO WE ARE ABLE TO
UNDERSTAND OTHERS.

DEAF PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF, CAN BE EXAGGERATED

SOMETIMES.

YOU LEARN MORE VOCABULARIES AND CREATE A
CONVERSATION THEN IT WILL MAKE SENSE TO YOU.
HOPEFULLY!
