My parents are living with us for a week. They are building a new home and are living with my aunt and uncle until it’s done. However, my uncle just got back from overseas and they wanted to give them some family time. So we’re eating good for a week :)
My friend (and collegue) and her hasband are deaf. She’s been teaching us a few words and phrases in SL. When I saw this post I though ‘but that’s not how you say mom and dad’.
So I learned that there are as many SL dialects as there are countries. You would have though that SL is universal?
good luck learning!
I thought that too until I started doing this weekly post! I’m also trying to find a good site to help learn the grammar since that too is a lot different that spoken English.
