That'd a be a great concept HOWEVER look at the insane amount of work the school system places on kids now. We'd have to change the crazy curriculum first or keep it as a personal choice. We can't be monsters to kids just because we'd like them to do things we didn't. And our curriculums were easier than today's. Some places even have full-day pre-school. People can't learn like this, child or adult. And I don't want to think about the stuff high school kids have to learn. Everything is moving fast. Anyways, my point is no school's shouldn't be adding even more to the plate.
My son is deaf too bad that Disney does not care about the deaf interpreter services we booked our reservations six months in a Vance I followed all of the protocols to request a sign language interpreter we get one side show for 15 minutes My son can’t even sit in the front row he is deaf plus meaning he has a list of disabilities that really I Facts is quality of life after his brain injury and bacterial meningitis for years ago we have visited Universal discovery Cove and now Disney all of three places have commercials that make people tear up and think that these places are going to actually help the children and people who have disabilities and need accommodations but that’s just not true it’s of money grab it only have one sign language interpreter according to Disney universal had zero discovery Cove I had none and they also did not have a wheelchair for my son even though I requested it six months ago and I called it every week for the last month before we were arrived repair out of pocket for this family vacation that we may never be able to take again together and my son is absolutely isolated and lost I am beyond disappointed with Disney especially.
@@mayfleur36 it seems like it huh but when push comes to shove and God for bid you do you have a child or yourself with complete hearing loss you will be absolutely disheartened I’ve cried more times this week on vacation than I have in my life. Almost lost my son to bacterial meningitis of the brain blood in find secondary brain infection I missed CT and bloodwork scan that was mixed up with another patient my son was on life-support for four weeks in the hospital for over a year and he now has lifelong a fax from his vaccine injury I am not bitter I am not mad my son is beautiful and perfect the way he is however this family vacation we have taken has absolutely confused him and made him feel more isolated than he ever has. Every morning when my son wakes up he asks mom can I hear today on his birthday he asks for his ears and Xmas he asked for volume on his ears he could hear up until he was almost 2 years old and now he is about to be seven and he still cries every day about not Being able to listen to music I got Disney was supposed to be the happiest place on earth that’s a fucking lie it was the most disappointing disheartening and absolutely disgusting customer service I ever have experience and that goes hand-in-hand with universal and discovery cove
I have a deaf/hoh son and I am hearing. Years ago, I was leading a caravan of cars filled with deaf/hoh people to a 4th of July fireworks show from a deaf/hoh camp. While traveling down a country road, I saw everyone in the car behind me waving at me so I pulled over as did the 8 cars following me. I approached the driver and signed to her "what is wrong". She signed back "why, nothing is wrong" so I said to them I saw them all waving at me.......they all started laughing and signed back........"we were singing". Never forget that experience....
@@wedemeyerr no there's more than 138 different types of sign language somewhere between 138 and 300 personally that's what discourage me a bit from learning it because I move a lot so I feel like if I learn the one in this country it will not help me when I move again
@@wedemeyerr in Deutschland gibt es die Deutsche Gebärdensprache, kurz DGS, kann man in manchen Städten an der Volkshochschule lernen, oder an manchen Unis als Sprackurs und in Hamburg richtig studieren, um bspw. Übersetzer zu werden.
I cried... I am not deaf, but I had the pleasure to work with deaf children, and I know that in these experiences they didn't feel any barriers and how society came together to make them feel a part of it... I loved it!
Hidden One trust me, you'll make friends real quick. The sad part with hard of hearing people or deaf people is they don't expect anyone to understand them. They'll quickly respond with "I'm deaf" when asked "can I help you" when I sign to them "That's ok, I understand. How can I help you" their faces light up and they come back looking for you to tell you their day and wanting to know how you're doing. I have made like 9 friends at my job because of this and they always go out their way to find me.
I learned some sign language in South Africa. It is quite difficult because of all the different languages we speak here. But to greet some one or even ask their name or just to have a short general conversation could change some ones day from crappy to good.
@@ronelduplessis6339 Can you imagine how many language barriers would be smashed if everyone knew how to sign though?? You wouldn't need to know everyone else's verbal language, because you could communicate with your hands! :)
Every time I stumble across the Samsung video I watch it and I always end up in tears. I am learning Spanish and Italian and I have decided to learn ASL because communication is a gift and I want to be able to participate.
i was in a choir in elemetrary school and one of the dads coming to the school to watch was deaf and so our choir teacher tought us sign so was could sing and sign what a wonderful world and he could see us (we also had an interpritor for the other songs) i still love that we did that 🖤
This was awesome... I had a deaf friend growing up and always wanted to learn asl. Took a few classes but now I truly want to commit to it. It's a beautiful language
My dad had several deaf friends here and there growing up. So I started learning the basics. Its been a long time now but with my physical disabilities i feel a translator option is more possible than ever. Just need to hit it hard and make a difference!
I’m half deaf and although I can hear it’s not very good everything sounds muffled I wish more people knew sign language so I wouldn’t have keep asking them to repeat what they said slower or to type it
Homeboy8227 : why not is my Question , may be there needs to be an MP for the "Deaf" , to tell peopleit is not impossible to get heard (pardon the pun).
Rae Ream - Same here, deaf in my right ear since birth. I’m almost 40 now. It’s definitely a struggle now that my good ear is getting worse, LOL. I’m trying to learn sign and teach my kids so that when my good ear is gone they can still communicate with me!
@@Callsign.unicorn same. And to know that someone went through that much effort just so they could participate in a "real" concert shook me. I cant come close to imagining the joy they felt that night.
Im deaf too, but I didnt have to learn sign language, I just learned normal language because I had operation where I got chochlear so I can hear Like normal People, but its not natural. So I can hear and normally speak
As someone who tried learning ASL on my own I slightly understand the frustration of deaf/HOH people. I always try to assist as much as I can w finger spelling & the looks of appreciation are worth all of the effort
I am suffering from hearing loss, I was born with underdeveloped ear canals and at 5 the collapse rendering me deaf for a week. I underwent 7 ear surgeries to stretch my canals open again because it was the 90s they used hard plastic ear tubes and used devices to stretch and crack the cartilage lining. i have a lot of inner ear scaring on both of my eardrums and my canals. it has lead to me being fairly deaf in my left ear. and my right one isn't much better. I learn ASL as a kid to talk to a deaf girl in my class, I have forgotten a lot of it as i let it pass, knowing how people I am with are work don't treat my issue with respect I can understand why being included like this would make people so happy. because the hearing are going out of the way to include those who can not.
I get the gesture from BK to convert their menu to ASL but deaf/HOH customers can read. Wouldn't it been better to have employees who could sign with the customers so as the customer could feel comfortable ordering and hanging out like the video of Starbucks?
English and ASL are actually two different languages. Even though words may be the same, the way sentences are structured is very different. You're right though, most Deaf and HOH folks can read and write in English out of necessity, but it doesn't mean they should have to. I agree that the employees learning ASL would've been a better method, but also wanted to point out that distinction 😊
Amber S-R , l get viebien 79 point I think both of you have got good ideas I don't see why they cannot be used to help the Deaf & HoH , we all need to talk more .
I agree. It seems like a waste of effort to have ASL on a menu when the deaf people could probably read. They could also just point when what they would like through pictures or text.
I think you don't get it. I think it wasn't specifically just for deaf people, it was for those who aren't to notify and make aware of how confusing it is to not be understood or communicated with. At least I see it this way.
I respect your practical rational and you're probably right but it was about the message and anyone who walked in their that day that wasn't deaf probably was inspired and it promoted education and gave a taste on the perspective of a deaf human.
The nightclub for the deaf is an awesome idea that I as a hearing person would never even consider. Having said that, I was once talking into a guys ear at a very loud night club years ago and his friend told me that shouting into his ear was pointless as he was almost completely deaf. We were able to still chat as he could lip read very well. I asked how he could enjoy the music like I did. He told me that he didn't really hear the music like I did but could feel the rythm and the beat and the frequency tones in a way that I probably didn't being a hearing person. Now I felt like I was the one with disability. Certainly made me appreciate music in a different way. And also illustrate deafness in a different way too.
I remember working at wal-mart a few years ago and a deaf couple had trouble finding candy canes. When they tried to ask a manager, she had just stared at them. I walked up and quickly introduced myself and told them that my ASL was VERY rusty. We got to a common ground and i lead them to were the candy canes were. they told me "Thank You" and shook my hand. It was the first time i ever used it and seeing their faces light up was something that i was proud of. My manager on the hand told me why i left my department and stay in my department when trying to explain she refused to listen.........bitch
I am Deaf and I am going to become an elementary school teacher, and my goal is t teach my kids ASL as we learn basic English so they can communicate with me and hopefully learn the beauty of the culture and language itself.
Can you imagine going through life expecting to NOT be understood? To be shocked when passers by say good morning or sorry in your language? 2021 is the year I learn ASL.
As a (partially) hearing retired Teacher of the Deaf, see my comment above. What I have seen so many times, is that Deaf people are often very lonely, as they have few people to communicate with. It makes their day when I at least TRY to communicate with them, never mind my very rusty signing, or the wrong dialect. An interesting world.
This is why ASL and BSL is so important to me. I’ve got both memorized because I know how different they are and the language is so beautiful. It’s also weird how different countries sign different things.
I was thinking the Samsung one would be #1. I recall seeing it some time ago and I could only imagine how the guy felt as others were able to communicate with him as he went along his day. Stepping into the ASL world just a little makes those with in the deaf community pretty happy.
Wow. I love music very very very much and I wish I go with them but unfortunately, I live in Great British, not in USA. Although, my sister lives in USA. 🤔🥰🤟🏻👍. I feel that it was very good and great...
Only a few times in my life have deaf or HOH folks came into my place of work, and when they do I’m so nervous but excited to sign and help them out! It makes my day and I hope it makes them feel comfortable. I wish more people would learn it, because were all just people with the need to communicate
I had a deaf man come in to my credit union and he was always very kind and patient with us. He always had his transactions written down for us before he came in but I was always delighted to see him because he was so kind. There was also a blind man who lived within walking distance and he'd come in every once in a while too. I loved helping him too because even a little bit of time spent with someone who is able to adapt to so many everyday simple things that we take for granted is so fascinating! Like he'd have each denomination of bill folded a certain way in his wallet so that he could tell the difference, and we'd hand him his cash separately one bill at a time to make sure he knew what he was receiving. Truly humbling to remember those experiences, thank you for the reminder!
It's sad that a lot of people can't get their drinks or the haircut they want because they can't be understood. A person with vision difficulties can still ask for what they want, someone who is deaf or hoh is screwed if they don't have writing supplies. Sign language should be taught to everyone, everywhere
imagine if all videos had captions so those that are deaf or HOH could actually enjoy them? Imagine if videos that actually involve deaf people and their experiences had those captions.....
Fantastic. In Maricopa City, AZ, I asked the franchise owners of the new Denny's and the new Dunkin' Donuts here to work on special Deaf friendly grand openings. Nope. :(
You never know what someone is going through. Watching this video makes me see how life could be not being able to communicate with everybody you see. I hope they do something about this in the future. Kudos! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I started driving a school bus for deaf students. I am trying to learn a little sign language to be able to interact with them even though some have implants. I'm glad there are videos I can watch and learn
As someone who has all their senses functioning, I look at these people in absolute amazement, I can’t even begin to imagine what life must be like for them living in a world not designed for them. It must be so frustrating, unfortunately, I do have a lot of health problems. I’m only 54, but since I was 20 I’ve been in and out of hospital literally dozens of times, for week or month at a stretch, having 37 surgeries because of Crohn’s disease and intestinal cancer, that was hard enough. I also developed 11 chronic diseases as side effects from all the surgeries, treatments, and chemotherapy, along with the radiation, again that was hard enough, and through it took a while, I could at least adapt to that. It’s not easy living with less than 5% of your entire G.I. tract left, But it’s an entirely different thing to lose one of your senses. I’m ashamed to say it, but if I were to go blind, deaf, or lose my ability to communicate vocally, or otherwise, I honestly think I would probably commit suicide, because I wouldn’t have the courage or the strength to deal with it. That’s why when I look at these people I see so much courage and strength, dare I say, they are probably some of the bravest people you could ever meet, because my first instinct would be to hide in the house, and isolate myself from the world. Just being stuck with an ileostomy bag on my side has turned me into a recluse, I can’t imagine how people cope going deaf or blind. One thing is for certain, they have my deepest admiration, for their incredible bravery, to live life, no matter what the obstacle. I wish I could be as brave as them, my deepest respects to them all, they are all truly an inspiration to me. God bless!
The 1st language i tried to learn that was introduced to me in 1st grade was sign language...if we didn't move away I am sure I would have learned it. I have vivid memories of my excitement when being taught. We didn't have any deaf or hard of hearing students in our school. They just wanted to teach us.
i play football(soccer) on the weekends on a govt field so its random people, but on tuesdays its for the deaf, my first time there i didnt know they were deaf and they just let mme play few mins in and i noticed that they are deaf, but they were talking communcicating thru asl, now they teach me a few words., wish i learnt that in school
One of my new year's resolutions Is to learn ASL as my fourth language (I speak spanish, english and Portuguese) communication is one of the most important things in life, and if I can help anyone by knowing so, I'm gonna be happy
I read a little story about the football team at Gaulette(?) College for the deaf. They challenged another college team to a game. The team accepted, and they figured that since all of the other players were deaf, they didn't bother to huddle to discuss their game plan. They were shocked when this team of deaf athletes thoroughly beat them. I guess that they didn't know that deaf people can read lips.
Oh god this is too beautiful, I eventually am sobbing watching this 😭. On the progress of learning sign language to prepare for future of perhaps meeting such beautiful human being like them
OMG, this made me totally cry, especially #1. How they went out of their way like that was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. God bless these people.
The last clip really made me think... Imagine going g around all day everyday and you don't get the same satisfaction as people just casually interacting with each other..
