What is sign language?

Translation:

"Hey, what are they doing? Is that dancing?"

"Gestures look the same, how could they understand each other?"

Translation:

Most of us are hearing people.

And living in the same country and the same world is another community, the Deaf people.

Translation:

One of the difference between this two communities is that:

Left column: Hearing people communicate using vocal languages.

Right column: Deaf people use sign languages, meaning utilizing gestures and facial expressions to express what they see. For example, the word banana in VSL looks like someone peeling a banana.

Translation:

Most people who have problems with hearing (hearing loss ranging from mild to severe) don't use sign language.

However, sign language plays a significant role in the Deaf community because this is one of the primary communications tool and their culture.

Translation:

Xis Sign believes that sign language is a beautiful language with many aspects to explore.

We understood this after spending time learning Hanoi Sign Language (3 branches of VSL: Hanoi Sign Language, Ho Chi Minh City Sign Language, Hai Phong Sign Language)
