there are more than 10 million people
living on this earth who are born deaf

of Lithuania most of them have no mother
tongue at all

module my mother tongue is Hungarian and
what is my colleagues mother tongue
she says the tank is American sign
language or ESL for short can you
imagine somebody having no mother tank
according to deaf education specialist
mother tank is the language we learn
from our parents it is also called as
native language the first language is
the language we learn within a critical
period of early childhood this period
closes around the age of three most of
the time our mother tongue is our first
language when a deaf child born in a
hearing family he or she will have no
mother tongue if deaf children don’t
learn signing within the first three
years they we have no first language
either now what is sign language sign
language is based on several mono
components
I can’t shapes movement orientation
location from body facial gestures and
spacing sign language puts words
together just like any other languages
it has grown although its rules are
different from spoken languages it’s so
real you can even take sign language
exams sign language just as natural just
any other spoken language this is why
there are more than 300 different type
of sign language all around the world
the lady in the video was signing
American Sign Language let’s watch our
hungry and colleague signing the same
meaning please pay attention the
differences between the American and the
sign language just as valid as any other
spoken languages if you are able to
express yourself in any sign language in
addition to your first language you are
bilingual with all the benefits of being
so it reaches your creative thinking and
hands your problem-solving increase your
cognitive flexibility and improves your
academic achievement both deaf and
hearing people ought to learn the local
sign language it could be just as easy
for a hearing person to sign as it is to
learn English as a second language which
means that hearing people could
communicate deaf people just as easy as
they do with foreigners they could
interact with the same topics same
interest share the same emotions in
America on the Left person gets a phone
call they will be connected with an
interpreter through without
communication again if a deaf child go
to school with hearing students they
will be provided an interpreter
throughout the day according to data
resources only one interpreter
interpreter for more than 30 sign
language users all around in America so
there is a shortage of interpreters even
in the USA therefore future can be built
on real-life interpreters alone one of
my friend visits the school in nab de
small village in India she met this
little guy drew he is on the right side
of the photo he is nine years old and
walks five kilometres to school every
morning he was born deaf he was more
than three years old and he was
diagnosed as being deaf his younger
brother the only one at school
who understands his tines and provides
him communication between his
schoolmates teachers and him through has
no chance of being educated in sign
language as there are no such a
facilities hundreds of kilometres of his
town
his mother is desperate she’s ready to
sacrifice anything for her son but there
is no help because the isolated place
the lack of money and lack of technology
for a deaf child born in a hearing
family it takes about 2 to 3 years to
get a precise diagnosis however by the
time it’s far too late for parents to
learn signing that being said there is a
movement called baby signing and parents
are committed and want to be prepared
they learn and teach some signs before
that infants can even talk no method
infants can hear or not because at least
2 out of 1000 babies are born with the
detectable level of hearing loss so it’s
better to be prepared to receive such a
child into the family
moreover 90% of deaf children are born
to hearing parents studies show that
even hearing infants who signs speak
earlier have a larger vocabulary get
better grades in school and have a
higher IQ they also often have better
communication with their parents because
the earlier stage of communication in
fact learning sign language could
benefit everyone teachers parents
students people who are ready to change
the world clearly we have nothing to
lose and so much to gain if we all learn
there are places where sign language
translation need to be available anytime
places like receptions Administration
Desk Airport me and my colleagues in
Hungary are working on a unique
translation system for deaf and hearing
people to meet their needs and reach
their goals this is not a simple
translation system it’s a two-way
communication it provides immediate
feedback to the users furthermore is
technology-based
so it can be turned into an exciting
game for children and parents alike who
want to learn sign language the system
consists a set of simple devices and the
software it will be available to anybody
without internet access most importantly
for hearing parents and teachers who are
blessed with a deaf child because they
are the only one who can teach sign
language as first language to their
children our vision at the company is a
little more advanced than the current
technology we need a set of 4 cameras
and the signer has to wear a pair of
fluency goes like this the system
recognize the signs divide them into
words and the signer put their hands by
their side the grammatically correct
sentences will appear on the screen
reverse communication will be available
through an avatar which can translate
spoken language into signs let’s watch
currently we are in the development
stage of this technology it will be
available at post office
administration’s receptions Airport in
the future we plan to create a more
portable version of this device to reach
places where size matters I believe this
technology is able to open doors for
people who want to use sign language doors that have been closed until now
