During high school in our home economics classes we learned the basic sign language alphabet. I can still sign some of the letters of the alphabet. I have a niece who wanted a sign language book for Christmas one year. She wanted the book so she could learn the language to talk with some of the deaf students in her school.
Learning sign language as another language could be valuable for those who work with the public. When I worked in the grocery business, there were several customers who frequented the store I worked in who were deaf. They could also read lips. They knew the workers didn't know how to read sign language and they would write down what they needed to say to us. Some of them would talk and I could understand them enough to answer their questions.
If you find yourself in this situation, use these worksheets to learn sign language. You will be surprised at the people you come in contact with that are deaf. They will appreciate you more for being able to help them in a language they can understand since they can't hear or speak.
