Deaf people can’t hear sounds. How do they “hear” words and talk?
Deaf people use American Sign Language (ASL). They talk with their hands.
Sometimes two deaf people talk to each other. They both use ASL. Sometimes a person
who can hear interprets for the deaf people. The person listens to someone talking, and he
or she makes hand signs
There are two kinds of sign language. One kind has a sign for every letter in the
alphabet. The person spells every word. This is finger spelling. The other kind has a sign
for every word. There are about 5,000 of these signs. They are signs for verbs, things and
ideas.
Some of the signs are very easy, for example, eat, milk, and house. You can see what
they mean. Others are more difficult, for example, star, egg, or week.
People from any country can learn ASL. They use signs, not words, so they can
understand people from other countries.
ASL is almost like a dance. The whole body talks. American Sign Language is a
beautiful language.
