An international symbol for sign language, designed by an Australian that culturally represents Deaf people was just approved by WFD! Today was a busy day, with 47 booths and huge lineup of presentations to choose from. #wfd2019 #h3wfd2019
Calling for volunteers who can help mentor d/Deaf students with their academic subjects, please check this post out at http://bit.ly/2KbytJg
If you have signing skills, let it be good or poor, you can still volunteer to teach other subjects, like Maths.

TRUE OR FALSE:
Is Sign Language universal (the same in every country)?
Is Sign Language universal (the same in every country)?
The answer is FALSE.
Yeah, Singapore has its own Sign Language. It’s called Singapore Sign Language. In short form, it is SgSL, not SSL (Shanghainese Sign Language). There is no official definition, unlike ASL’s. We still wait for our national body to make announcement about its official definition. We had our community discussion in early 2019.
American Sign Language has its over 200 years of history. Our SgSL is established and developed since the early 1950s. It had its influences from SSL, ASL and SEE2 (Signing Exact English 2) because of national education policies and language policies. Now we develop our locally generated sign vocabulary for our local culture and food.
If you have anything to add in or to ask for further clarification, you can message me @deaflilygoh and the private chat is created for you. Will add you there. 🤟🏻
