Learning Sign Language
Sign language helps bridge the gap between those who can hear and those who cannot. Using a collection of hand gestures and symbols, sign language is an effective mean of communication that provides the deaf and those hard of hearing a way to interact with the world. Learning and understanding sign language isn't just for the hearing impaired people—it's also for those interested in being able to communicate with the hearing impaired.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SIGN LANGUAGE
Personally, I think everybody should try learning sign language. It can really help us communicate with hearing-impaired people. Since we do not have their disabilities, we tend to not bother trying to communicate with them. We should really include learning sign language in the school programs. It's a shame that people with certain disabilities get isolated due to this problem that we could clearly find a solution to if we worked a little bit harder.
IT REQUIRES PATIENCE
Learning sign language is definitely not easy. It's just like learning a language completely different from your native tongue. There are so many words, expressions and idioms, getting to understand them can be really frustrating. Honestly, I had a really good time trying to learn this beautiful mean of communication but had a hard time remembering most of the words I learned.
SIGN LANGUAGE SAVES LIVES
One can save lives by learning sign language.
Think of this sign as representing someone coming at you with a knife and you block it.

In this sign you use your straight middle fingers (bent forward at the large knuckle) to represent rays of light reflecting off of something shiny.
