Inspired by deaf people and deaf children singing and signing at the London Olympics 2012. Sign Language Classrooms Rules!
Language is the source of communication. That is probably true in most time. People have been learning different languages such as English, Arabic or French in order to have better communication with these different people all over the world. But why not learn the sign language? People thought that it is only for the deaf. I strongly disagree with that though. I believe that sign language is good be learned by everyone.
We, deaf people who use British sign language, makes up of about 30,000 to 70,000 in total number all over the world. Isn't that a big number? Isn't that wonderful to have a better communication with these thousand people? If you would include those family and friends of deaf people who are also using BSL, that would make up of about 250,000.
BSL is widely used in the United Kingdom as the primary language of us, deaf people. Sometimes, non-deaf teachers and deaf students is having some misunderstanding because of few grammar errors that BSL is have not improved yet. But still, deaf people and their family who often practice the BSL are more likely to understand each other very well despite of what they say grammatical errors on the language.
I, myself, got to say that this language is very rich, if only people, especially non-deaf, would understand. While some people believe that this language is full of grammar error, I hope that they could see this one as expressive and rich ultimate language that everyone must learn. The sign language is very easy and adaptable if only the person is very willing to learn it. The sign language has its own grammar rules, that is based on spacing and timing that is why no one has the right to say that sign language is not always accurate because of its grammatical errors.
The British Sign Language became an official and independent sign language in March 2003. That means, we have our different grammar, because we are independent. We don't need to depend on what English language grammar says. I hope that everyone would have the desire to learn sign language to have a better communication with us deaf people.
Sign Language has been considered as one of the most beautiful language in the world and its a gift that we want to share with you.
