What is Deaf individuals who use sign language?

Deaf individuals who use sign language are people who can’t hear well or at all and communicate by using hand movements and facial expressions.

Imagine you're playing with building blocks. You don't need to hear the words, you just watch your friend move their hands in a special way, like making little stories with their arms and face. That’s how Deaf individuals talk to each other when they use sign language. It's like having a secret code that only you and your friend understand.

• Sign language is like drawing pictures in the air with your hands.
• Instead of speaking, Deaf people use signs, movements and positions of their hands, face, and body.
• Just like how we speak to each other using words, they talk using these hand movements.

So next time you see someone making funny hand shapes, maybe they're just having a conversation!
