What is it like to "hear" a hand? You have to be deaf to understand!

Everyone is connected to a family member, neighbour, friend or colleague to whom hearing loss is a real and relevant issue.

Sign Language is not just an alphabet in which you have to sign each letter or word you are trying to communicate. Sign Language is a complete language with signs representing the majority of words found in written English. Sign Language does not only consist of signs. To communicate effectively it utilizes facial expressions, body movement or body language, hand shape, hand position, hand movement and gestures.
