These universal gestures are among the most widespread, and yet are\u00a0examples\u00a0of sign language in its most basic\u00a0form.\u00a0\u202f<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The influences of sign language are everywhere, but because we\u2019re so used to them, we don\u2019t notice them anymore! One example is the football huddle, which was invented by Deaf football athletes at <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallaudet.edu\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Gallaudet University<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u202fin 1892 when they played against another team of Deaf players. The quarterback, Paul Hubbard, didn\u2019t want his opponents to see what they were signing in American Sign Language (ASL) as they discussed different game strategies. To stop them from seeing their conversation, he asked his team to form a tight circle, now known as a \u201chuddle\u201d. This \u201chuddle\u201d, which is part of deaf heritage and history, is now a staple in professional football leagues such as the NFL and CFL, as well as in other sports around the world.\u202f<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In short, sign language can be as practical for professional athletes as it can for the average person, such as professionals from different fields, parents of Deaf and hard of hearing children, or even those who may want to become an ASL-English interpreter. \u202f<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">But let\u2019s get back to the topic at hand! Why should we all learn American Sign Language (ASL)?\u202fThere are many good reasons to learn it:\u202f\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">1. It\u2019s more and more popular<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u202f<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With COVID and live broadcasts, we see sign language interpreters on air everywhere. Moreover, the new 2019 Accessible Canada Act recognizes ASL, Quebec Sign Language (Langue des signes qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise, LSQ) and Indigenous sign languages as the languages most used by Deaf and hard of hearing people in Canada!\u202f\u202f<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">New parents are increasingly interested in sign languages as ways of communicating with their toddlers, and quickly notice how easily they are able to express their needs, well before learning to speak. \u202f\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">2. Learning a second language stimulates the brain<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u202f<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Without going into too much scientific detail, many linguists and psychologists agree that bilingualism\u2014and multilingualism\u2014come with their fair share of cognitive benefits. Learning a language\u00a0boosts our\u00a0concentration, listening\u00a0and\u00a0thinking skills! In addition, research shows that it\u2019s then easier to learn a third (and fourth) language!\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">3. Communicate underwater<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u202f<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Whether\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0scuba diving or just swimming, communicating underwater has never been easier.\u00a0It\u2019s just a matter of\u00a0making\u00a0a few\u00a0signs!\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">4. Chat at a movie or the library without making any noise<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u202f<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If you\u2019re one of those people who likes to chat from time to time while watching a film but often find yourself reluctant to make noise at the movies, or if you like taking advantage of the peace and quiet of the library to work on team projects, ASL could be the ideal solution to your woes!\u202f\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">5. Communicate through a window<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:1080,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Are you outside with boots and pants covered in snow and want to talk to someone inside without making a mess of the hall? Sign language is your solution!\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">6. Enhance your CV with a second or third language<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u202f<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What better way to enhance your CV than with a second language, one very often used in Quebec and Canada? Capture the interest of potential employers with your sign language skills. By being able to directly converse with your Deaf colleagues and clients, you will create a special connection.\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">7. Communicate easily in noisy places<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u202f<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Whether you\u2019re at a\u00a0Habs\u00a0game at the Bell Centre, in a crowded bar or in the middle of a concert, no worries! You can communicate easily with the person next to you without shouting or making them repeat themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">8. Talk to someone at the other end of the room WITHOUT SHOUTING\u202f<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u202f<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Are you in a crowded market and want to tell your roommate to grab the last basket of strawberries that are next to them, without having to cut through the crowd or shout?\u00a0ASL\u00a0is there to save you a few steps. If you see a friend on the metro platform going in the other direction, take the opportunity to catch up with\u00a0them\u00a0without alerting the whole station. Don\u2019t think you can tell secrets in public,\u00a0though\u2014you never know if the person over your shoulder knows\u00a0ASL\u00a0too!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">9. Benefit from a unique visual-spatial language<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u202f<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sign languages are known for their three-dimensional character. They are unique\u00a0visual-spatial languages.\u202fAs well as developing your ability to communicate with your facial, body and hand\u00a0movements, your listening skills and visual attention will be called upon to levels you never suspected.\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">10. It\u2019s the most accessible language for Deaf and hard of hearing people<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u202f<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Of course, we couldn\u2019t discuss the main reasons to learn sign language without addressing accessibility. Sign languages are one of the most important, natural and accessible means of communication for the vast majority of Deaf and hard of hearing people. It allows them to participate in conversations on an equal footing with others. Learning sign language means accommodating diversity and contributing to universal inclusion.\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">11. Communicate with people with one or more disabilities, degenerative diseases, autism, speech impairment, etc.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u202f<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There are\u00a0a number of\u00a0people with one or\u00a0more\u00a0disabilities, such as degenerative diseases, autism or even\u00a0a speech disorder, who need sign language to be able to speak or listen.\u00a0It\u00a0is an inclusive communication tool\u00a0that\u00a0doesn\u2019t rely\u00a0on\u00a0technology,\u00a0and\u00a0is free and practical for those who need it.\u202f\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">12. Have the opportunity to get to know the Deaf community<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u202f<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Learning a foreign language immerses you in a new community and a different culture. The same is true for sign language, which opens us up to the Deaf community and its culture, at the very heart of the identity and life of Deaf and hard of hearing people.\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You surely have your own good reasons for learning about\u00a0ASL, whether it be to satisfy your curiosity, explore a unique language, meet new people or even\u00a0fulfill\u00a0an old dream.\u00a0There\u00a0may be\u00a0many reasons to get started,\u00a0but\u00a0you\u2019ll find that there are even more reasons to stick\u00a0with it.\u202f<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There are over 200 different sign languages in the world, including French Sign Language (LSF), Quebec Sign Language (LSQ), British Sign Language (BSL), South African Sign Language (SASL) and even more\u2026 why not learn one from home?
