Top 10 Reasons You Should Learn the Sign Language
You think that Deaf have Deaf friends only? No! Today, Deaf also open to the Hearing community. The Deaf love to invite the Hearing friends join to eat lunch/dinner, playing the activities together, enjoy to talk each other via sign language and etc!
My colleagues enjoyed to learn the sign language with me in my workplace or during lunch. They are very happy because they can communicate via sign language. Sometimes they also forget the sign...Hehe. My colleague and I always go eat lunch together and enjoy to chat in sign language. :)
You are free to go about making friends with Deaf and enjoy to learn from Deaf Culture Malaysia as you like.
