lol I was like this can't be ASL! haha Swedish Sign Language!! I wanna learn a little bit some day! I am learning American Sign Language in uni, although I am out of school for the summer right now. Today I had my first day of work EVER! I am a cashier for a grocery store, and I got a Deaf customer and I was so thrilled to communicate with him through ASL!!!! one of the best feelings ever!

rain 雨 Yes I was thinking this isn't ASL so I was wondering what Sign Language this was but to me, seeing different Sign Languages is beautiful I've seen BSL (British) & learned some but I'm trying to stick with ASL lol before I get lost. I mean I could learn things kinda easy so maybe learning another type of Sign Language wouldn't be so hard for me but for now, I should stick with one. I want to be an interpreter & learning ASL has made me the happiest. Seeing that there's a different way to communicate is amazing 💞

Daisy Couture Totally agree!!! I am very interested in learning languages and I am glad I came across ASL!! Sign languages in general are unique and dynamic in their own right. I, as well, want to learn another signed language I know a few Japanese signs, but I am holding off until I get a good foot into ASL. Same reasons as you lol. Since I am being test on ASL I might as well stick to spending my time studying that. But sometime in the future I plan to look into other Deaf cultures and sign languages.

Thank you for subtitles! I am hearing and have never met deaf people, personally, but if I ever do meet a deaf person, the language barrier terrifies me. Nice to know paper and pen are not offensive.

It's STS (Swedish sign language). From what I've read, it's not directly related to any of the other national sign languages, though it did influence the creation of Finnish and Portuguese sign languages. Kinda cool, actually.

Nobody THANK YOU! I'm fairly fluent in ASL and I'm catching like 1/3 of what she's saying. Here I am thinking my signing isn't as good at I think it is. (I just figured my deaf friends slow down for me a lot more then I realized)

And one thing I love about sign language is the emotions, I really like it when you talk you show your emotions by changing the voice level but what's make sign language so beautiful and unique is the body and face during a conversation 🍑❤️

People born deaf is definetly a blessing, while you may not hear, you start appreciating the little things in life. Safe from all the horriable sounds out there.

Hi! American Deaf here, nice to see more Deaf vloggers not using ASL! I don't know SSL but I love learning about all sign languages so thank you very much for captioning your videos so maybe I can pick up few SSL :). I also shared this with my Swede Deaf friend who moved here to live with her husband.

I think the "can deaf people drive?" question is not so much are you physically capable but more like hearing people wonder if its difficult or dangerous to drive when you can't hear emergency vehicles before you see them or hear if someone is honking at you to alert you to danger or prevent a wreck because hearing people depend on traffic sounds as an important part of driving. I think we all know it doesn't take a lot of skill to physically drive a vehicle, hearing or not. The question should have been phrased differently or elaborated on why people ask that question.

@harveyharbicht4959

I wondered about that too; not the physicality but, at least to me, hearing is a very large part of driving. To me I mean. I don't drive with the radio on so I can use my ears too. Is a motorcycle coming? Are there any sirens behind or ahead of me that I can't see yet? (Yes, I can see sirens; I'm magic lol). Is anybody honking or yelling at me? Is the cop car behind me making that "whoop whoop" sound that means he wants me to pull over? Not having all-that-great vision I rely upon my hearing a great deal when I'm driving. That's just me. I am glad deaf people can drive. It's very cool.

Some deaf people wear cochlear implant and can hear 90%

This is the true integration of all communities we need. Lifting up the people from often shunned portions of society to tell there stories and no longer be an "outsider". This is how we grow in this world, thank goodness for technology, and thank goodness that we have people that want to visible and show that we are all more similar than we think! Go girl!

A great video! I am Deaf. grew up oral and great information. I used to think the same until I started taking sign language classes that sign language was the same world wide. Makes sense, the sign language will reflect the culture. Also facial expression and movement are a big part of the communication.

I'm truly proud of you educating hearing people who always ask stupid questions. Bravo!!!!

I love the way you answered all of these questions!! I would have to say the most annoying question I get is, "Can deaf people drive?" I'm like, "Come ON!!! Do you drive with your eyes closed? No, you don't. However, me, personally? No, I can't drive yet. I'm underage. 14 in the US is underage." For serious!! Deaf people are typically more aware of their surroundings. I mean, we kind of have to be, right? We are more alert of our surroundings and are always on the look-out. In fact, we actually focus better because we hear no noises, distractive ones and serious ones alike. Sure, we usually can't hear sirens, but that's what the flashing lights are for. No, we probably can't hear honking horns or anything and that's not good, but we can USUALLY escape tickets and stuff because we're deaf. The officers just give up trying to communicate and just let us go. Now, while that is great it also sucks because hearing people just don't want to try. They're too lazy to write or type or maybe they're just really arrogant or something. They aren't disabled. If they broke or injured their arm or something, then yeah, that's one thing. But when they're perfectly fine...Ugh. I'm sick of hearing people being hypocrites. They go on and on about perseverance and not giving up and then when they try to communicate with a deaf person, they just throw their hands up, say, "Never mind," and just walk off. Oh, wow, I've gone from one thing to another. Yikes. I'm just going to end my little rant or rave or whatever...

Oh I really like you you're really cute, I'm live in Israel, I'm 14 and at the summer I sew a series called "Switched at birth" and it got me really inspired to learn sign language (Israeli sign language) so I'm learning it and I really thankful that you have made this video love ya ❤️

I'm Hard of Hearing, and grew up / can function as hearing most of the time, but I'm learning to embrace a Deaf identity. I was so happy to see you say that bit about how if you say you're Deaf then you're Deaf, and the hearing level doesn't matter. I've been told that I can't be Deaf / HOH if I can manage as hearing-functioning by some people, so it's really good to have the opposite being validated.

So I never comment on videos but I'm writing an essay on deaf culture for a class (as a hearing person) and your video just gave me so much perspective and reality check on deaf culture. Thanks for being so honest and real

Wow! I literally cry about that video because I'm so proud of it, I feel so idealized. I am happy to be deaf (but I have hearing heads I still do not like to use) and I have a deaf family (dad, mom and aunt). Thank you for asking questions of hearing about the deaf. A hug from Colombia. I love you.

you are very sassy/sacrastic in this video😯. but I completely understand the frustration with people who just don't get it. Thanks for the information.😊

you are so pretty i'm jealous.... your video popped up in my recommandations simply because i was searching for some clips of czech sign language for class i'm taking at uni and well i don't regret clicking on your thumbnail. i'm physically disabled and i find it hard to "fit in" and seeing you being so cool and on top of the things is so uplifting.... hope you don't find it offensive because i'm really awkward ☺

I am profoundly deaf and wear 2 ha. I can relate to the questions you get asked-*alot*!!! People often think bc I am deaf i can't do what hearing people can,but I can! I am currently learning Spanish even though I can't hear it and technically speak it,i can still learn it. Also I learn a musical instrument which is very hard as I can't hear my mistake/notes. I rely on the vibration s,however I passed my grade 1 exam which is proof I can do anything! I think it is unfair in Sweden you can't drive.

Tatti I am Hard of hearing and I also play an instrument in band! Luckily, I started learning before my hearing got too bad, but people are always telling me how out of tune I am, but I always tell them why don't you try playing an instrument perfectly with only half your hearing.

I didn't realise it was Swedish sign language at first but I'm glad it is because I'm currently learning it and seeing someone actually use it in real life is gonna be very helpful!

Proud to say i didn't have to use the captions.I am trained in both ASL, BSL and SSL. I help out with Dogs For The Deaf.My Uncle trained me in both sign languages every summer that i visited him since i was 6 and self taught myself SSL.(I am half American Half Scottish thats why i trained in both and i have a deaf swedish friend)

I am hearing impaired and have always relied on my hearing aids and lip reading to get by. I often find myself staring at someone's lips and I feel like they notice it... then I try to focus on their eyes but then I miss some of the conversation. I like how you said deaf people should not have to adjust themselves to hearing people, and I hope I can overcome the awkwardness of reading lips because that is a huge part of hearing for me.

But you know these questions are pretty natural to ask because it different for us you know, we just wondering, when I was around the age 9 I went to the pool with my grandmother and I saw a group of deaf people and I was so excited and I felt uncomfortable to stare at them but I was so f*cking circus about it so you know maybe some questions sounds pretty stupid but we're don't know how it feels like, I have never met a deaf person and so..... 😌

Excellent video, Jonna. I am incredibly happy you provided subtitles as I definitely do not know Swedish Sign Language as I only am proficient in ASL. Anyway, as a deaf person myself, I get those questions from time to time. I recall one time when I was a doctoral student and there was a meeting with several faculty members assembled together along with me and an interpreter at a table. The reason of the meeting was to ensure that the faculty members in the department of my doctoral studies could be better equipped to deal with a deaf doctoral student - me! At one point in the meeting, one professor asked me, "Can you drive?" I am thinking in my head, "This is a professor that has a PhD and she's asking me this question...probably out of her ignorance." I proceeded to answer her cleverly. "I have two arms. I have two legs. I have two eyes. I have a brain. Therefore, I can drive." The professor was like, "Well...what if you can't hear emergency vehicles?" I was like, "I can use the mirrors to detect their presence. As a matter of fact, I can see them before my hearing passenger(s) hear them!"

Beautiful! I laugh when I hear these questions. I am hearing, but have many deaf friends. I am a staunch advocate and join my deaf friends in fighting for equal rights. I am subscribing to your channel!

"Uh can you get a driving license?" - hehe this was funny (; I loved watching this video ... I'm not sure if I could live without music...

Bravo! Keep on making more videos. As Deaf Identity is something to be very proud of so keep rocking on!

Hej hej! Tack för att du svarade även om frågorna var dumma eller ohövliga! Sadly, I'm out of practice in Swedish! I know that deaf culture is so strong and should be respected. Sometimes though that can feel secretive (not anyone's fault) and so I appreciate you being open and honest! Thank you! (One note: it is illegal to drive with headphones in some places, which some people think is the same as driving without hearing. Maybe people ask if you can drive because of this?)

That was something I questioned, why if sign language is less well known, why not have it across countries? but it was explained to me like 'languages evolve like even English is different from Australia to America to England why would sign language be the same?' Made a lot more sense and I felt silly for not realising. Great video, thanks. I did pick up a couple words you signed that are the same in my limited knowledge of Auslan.

This is why I love youtube :) Learning about different people and cultures is what the internet is all about, now excuse me while I go binge-watch all of your videos

Really loved this video, you're amazing!

Hi, I just found this video and thought I would watch it because you used sign language (I'm learning it) and I checked your channel and you are very inspirational! Felt like I just had to tell you, keep up with the good work:) (And I'm Norwegian btw)

But then I found out you're using Swedish sign language. :D

Thank you! This was very informative and you seem very sympathetic! I like the way you explain this stuff with the right amount of positive and negative emotion. It is fun and informative to watch your videos, keep going! (And by the way, thanks for the subtitles ;))

I loved watching this video. When a new caption would come up, I would pause it so I can read it then watch you. I don't know any sign language but it's still interesting watching your video!

Hi, Jonna! Your video was very encouraging. I'm so sorry that hearing people have done/asked the things you described in this video. We must come off as really ignorant a lot of the times, haha. There is a deaf kid at my high school and I've kind of kept my eye on him since 8th grade; I've always been extremely intrigued. It wasn't until I started watching Switched at Birth (don't know how credible that show is, though it does have actual deaf people in its cast, so I hope it's not a very misinformed series) that I truly started taking an interest in the deaf community. I suddenly discovered a newfound love for the language and am extremely excited to attempt learning that and other languages (Spanish, Italian, Japanese) in college. I've been wanting to talk to the deaf kid for some time now, but I don't know how to approach him without seeming like I feel like I'm above him, being "hearing" and all. I don't believe that to be true--not at all--but I'm clueless as to what I should say. Fun fact: I was actually going to befriend him in 8th grade because he was new to the school, but then the "popular" kids (not mean, just a completely different clique) befriended him before I could, so I just backed away. I regret it every time I see him, though, haha. Anyway, I hope you're doing well. So glad that I happened upon your video. Your very pretty and very fun to watch! Hopefully, someday, I'll be able to understand what you're saying without having to use the subtitles, haha.

I am a hearing person trying to learn Auslan(I'm Australian), for myself and incase I meet someone who uses it for any reason as a main language, at the moment and find it awesome that there are so many different sign languages for different countries and even different states can have slight differences just like spoken languages.

I never knew this was Swedish sign language 🤦😂 it's still great and amazing. Despite that, I had a question about sign language. I am currently doing my best learning to sign and not giving up 🙇. But one thing I keep having trouble with is signing specific words. I tend to mix up letters a lot. Is there any way I can overcome that?🤔

Amazing, a silent video. Haven't seen one maybe ever. Really interesting, though!

I loved watching this. I know Finnish sign language, so it was fun to almost understand you. so much similarities. Subscribed! 😺❤

I know a small amount of ASL and can normally follow fine with the subtitles but I was having a harder time following you. I thought maybe she had a different dialect than I was used to. Finally I read in the description that you are using SWEDISH Sign Language! Very interesting to see the similarities and differences in the 2.

Hey!! Just wanted to say that I loved watching your video! I am not hearing impaired, but I've recently met an amazing person that is now one of my best friends, and he is hearing impaired... a bit deaf; "a bit" seems a bit clumsy, but he hears "enough" to speak normally with me, so I believe he is not as deaf as you... god okay I feel like I can't really say what I mean, and that may sound weird but what I'm trying to say is that thanks to my friend, I've been more and more interested in your language, that I find fascinating! He gave me the link to your video, and I'm now discovering a whole other culture, and it is so crazy! It is completely new for me, and your video has helped me a lot! I would love you to make another one on that topic! I think the thing that really surprised me the most is that sign language isn't international...yeah after reading what you said I kinda felt stupid, it actually makes a lot of sense ahah x) spoken language isn't indeed international x) Well, anyways thanks for this video, and the information, I enjoyed it so much!!

I am currently learning ASL, but now I think after I feel comfortable with that, I'm going to have to learn Swedish Sign!! I was so lost until I just read in the comments that this wasn't ASL!!! hahahaha. still love the video.

I've been sat here, trying to understand your signs whilst not knowing it was *Swedish* Sign Language. Makes sense why I can't find many similarities in what I've learnt about British Sign Language...xD

Haha it's nice to see another country sign language as yours. Your sign for 'interpreter' meant 'cook /cooking' in our ASL (american sign language and I live in USA). 😊 It could be so confused to think the same signs have so different meanings since we live in different countries. As for the question of 'Could a deaf mother give birth to deaf child/ren?' I need to add to your answer to that question so hearing people will not assumed it's only always happening to deaf family. I am 41 years old deaf mother of four beautiful children with my deaf boyfriend of 24 years. All of them are born hearing and still are hearing. I was born hearing only for 1 month before I became full deaf due to my mother's brief illness while she was 5 months pregant with me that left my hearing development never formed completely. And as for my deaf boyfriend, he was born deaf while his mother was heathly..so it just happened to be a family genes on his father's side. My children could born being deaf or hearing according to a unborn child's dna genes plays it's role for a child's face features, colour of hair and eyes, it's gender, enabled or diabled limbs and tissues such as being blind or deaf or mute or both or all altogether..it depends on how healthy pregant mother could be to help the unborn fetus' 9 months development to be completed or not before being born. By the way, you are awesome well being! 🤗

watching switched at birth and i learned so much about the deaf community // keep spreading the word & being the awesome you

Ah! Your signing is brilliant! I'm trying to find good ASL KZreadrs, but I really haven't found anyone who signs as articulately, quickly, beautifully and has such a detailed way of signing as you do! I wish I knew Swedish sign, but I'm from America. I mean you're incredible! I love vocabulary and expression and I would love to find someone who's ASL compares to your amazing ability to communicate in Swedish sign. Thanks for showing me how it's done like an expert! Do you recommend any good ASL KZread channels?

Haha I was really confused for a bit there. Thought it was ASL, but I understood quite a bit of what you said, which were not english words, and some signs were familiar. Then I read in the description that it was Swedish sign language (I am norwegian) Really good video

at first I was anticipating some sort of music, in place of her lack of speech. But 0:13 into the video I realized that this is how she experiences the world, and it started to become a beautiful thing to me

I didn't actually understand your signs without caption but i understood most of your feeling with your lovely expressions...😍

your video popped up on my feed and I enjoyed watching it! I'm from the UK so I know BSL and its quite funny to watch you sign as I can understand some of it, both yours (Swedish) and British sign languages do have some similar or a couple same signs!

It's hard to explain how similar, as some of the signs are same hand shape but different way or location. Sign for Deaf is the same :-) We use dialect over here. Signs in the south of England where I live are little or totally different to the ones in the north! When you learn at level two you are expected to know both.

Lol, yeah like 'nobody' said in the comments, i figured out this wasn't asl pretty quick, but thank you for helping me learn more. You have a great sense of humor (even though these ridiculous questions are probably very old), and you are engaging and soft spoken. You were still very easy to understand, even though overt only been learning a total of 5-6 days now. I also realized this was an old video (2016) so now im going to try and find some more recent ones and see how things have progressed over the last 5 years. :)

I loved this video, it was different watching a video with absolutely no sounds. I want to learn some sign language one day, especially since it is considered one of the main languages in my country

I love your channel so much!! I was wondering if you could do a video on the positive things about being deaf than hearing? If not that's cool have a nice day!

I'm hearing and learning asl. A question I get asked all the time about deaf people (which i cant answer correctly because i'm not deaf) is "what language do they speak in?" I always answer the language they were raised in, then they say "but they've never heard it, so???"

I really enjoy videos like this. I would want to know about the deaf culture more cuz it's beautiful. I'm learning Sign Language myself it's hard for me but I'm learning & I love it. I have talked to someone who was deaf before she was probably like 8 yrs old maybe but it was short. I would want to ask what should you do when first talking to someone who is deaf? Like what is something you should or shouldn't do?

Please make a video on the differences between being deaf and being hard of hearing. I didn't realise deafness could be inherited, until I read a story about a deaf woman who was 6th generation deaf 👂💗🌞

Great video! Funny thing that I somehow "heard" that you're Swede :D Hälsningar från Finland

this may sound ignorant and I hope not to offend you but if a deaf person has been deaf all their life and never been able to hear a human voice do they have an internal dialogue in their head? when reading something or thinking before using sign language? hope I explain well enough! :)

I agree, as a child, I moved around too often and had to learn a new language constantly. It also didn't help that both of my parents spoke several languages and would often rotate between them constantly. For a good part of my childhood, I spoke Byelorussian, Finnish and Japanese. Then I moved and had to learn Spanish,, followed by German. My parents, at the time always strived to speak the language or languages spoken in the country we were living at the time. Sadly, moving around so much and never having enough time to develop mastery in one particular language has left me without a Mother Tongue. This means that I see mostly pictures or create environments in my mind. As of today, my preferred language for Speaking is Finnish, for writing is English. When I work on mathematics or play chess, it is often easier to literally Sign out my thoughts in Finnish Sign, although this makes for some awkwardness at Chess Tournaments when opponents see my hand constantly calculating variations. :D

My stepfather has a deaf friend. He still tries to talk so he might sound funny. My stepfather learned sign language and he makes the same silly voices so he won't feel so much different. I'm glad I found your video ☺️💕 you seem sweet. (sorry about my grammar)

Plus: maybe some places doesn't allow deaf people to drive if they can't hear ambulance or if the car is making alarming sounds etc. I don't know haha but obviously deaf people should also drive cars 😄

This is so cool! I'm a hearing person... But I feel like there isn't enough deaf awareness. Y'all are all normal! Just cause y'all lack the sense of hearing doesn't mean y'all are idiots!! I want to start a mission in my church for deaf people and be a translator. I live in a high populous area and my church is huge but we lack a deaf translator. I also want to go to a different country and help people with hearing loss/deafness to the poor and collect hearing aids and help them since people in small groups like that are rejects. I want to make people feel loved! Oh. Have I mentioned I've only taken just a few lessons in ASL and I'm already this passionate? XD

Thank you. I'm going to use your video even those it is with Swedish sign language instead of ASL (American sign language) in my home class

Thank you for the subtitles. I know some DGS (German Sign Language) and some single words of ASL. Since this is STS, I would have been lost otherwise (though it was tough to follow the speed of the subtitles, never realized how fast sign language can get)

Great video! Keep it up! x

Hi Jonna thanks for the nice video. Those were some of questions I had on my mind. I have a neighbor next store, she is deaf. We communicate some what but I seen her on her phone,, signing like crazy. I can't sign, but I will learn. I see you posted a few sights to go to thanks for that. She is a nice person, she works and even drives her truck for Lyft and Uber. Thanks for your video. Bruce B Las Vegas

I was trying to read your signs in ASL but I read the description XD Welp I wasted a good minute of my life trying to understand seemingly sign language gibberish. Thank you for putting in subtitles. Also, how different is swedish grammar to English grammar?

I love sign language the deaf culture and hand movements the facial expressions just love its like no other lanuage it's spoken with hands so beautiful and unique i been learning ASL stopped a lil bit and i need to learn agian i want to be a teacher to deaf n hard of hearing children :D

I agree that deaf people are more than capable of driving, however, to say it’s completely unnecessary to hear while driving is really untrue. There’s a horn for a reason and we’ve all been in situations in which their use was vital. But that alone shouldn’t hinder people from driving

I don't know much ASL and I thought this was ASL but I was so confused with the numbers but then I read the description. From my small vocabulary of ASL I think I understood driving.
