When you were younger did you go underwater in a pool to make faces at your friends? Imagine if you had known sign language then, you could’ve had entire conversations while swimming! Signed languages defy what the hearing world expects from conversation. It doesn’t have to be quiet to sign, and you don’t even have to be above water to do it. With American Sign Language, you could even talk through a closed window. There’s no reason to yell at your kids in the front yard to come in to dinner, when you could sign it with ease. American Sign Language is a fantastic language that you and your family can use.
