Many times I never think of reading English would understand easy for us. Us? I have read English in books, newspapers or ever papers for the years. Never think of the way we speak. Why never think that way? Okay, let’s say this. When I was signing after the words to words and notices my signing was different than English. Why? Many times, all of deafies been reading “hands” from English transferring to ASL (America Sign Language). English does not understand us and ASL does understand us. If reading the ASL into English will be hard for us.

Reading the ASL? Let’s see if I can find some of example. There was sentences in sign language image. Can you read this?

See not English but ASL transferring. If I read this English and see different than above image.

“My bird sings. ” ” My bird and that bird out sing.” “My bird sings (no way make chirps noise) would say “sounds”” See what I typed what I signing from that sentence above.

That! Many times, our language get confused by communication with hearing and could be misunderstanding from English reading into ASL or ASL into English reading.

I have to make sure my write not confusing you! LOL
