There was a HUGE conference that happened awhile back where many deaf schools sent representatives, including Galudet and his Deaf teacher from France. They were barred from attending, ALL Deaf were barred from attending and all these hearing instructors of the deaf decided that oral only was the best method for all deaf students... this lead to much abuse and the abuse of language (your right it is abusive) deprivation in many MANY children for many children. This thought process is still prevalent in many professionals who cater to the Deaf community today. It is slowly decreasing.

We love an activist king! Go Nyle, you’re gonna be changing the world!

What he talked about here is so important!!

Wish someone made a bill like this for Portugal, deaf schools are closing and the ones that are open don't even have a full education in sign language is ridiculous!! This needs to change, thank you Nyle for bringing this awareness to the world

I started being a special education teacher in Los Angeles. My director said:" We are going to receive deaf kids. You guys have to learn a little bit of sign language". I took courses in ASL in Los Angeles. I was born in France, lived there the first sixteen years of my life, learnt french and french sign language. I live in Israel since my mother died. I learnt Hebrew and Israeli sign language. I use it all the time and love it. I wish everybody learnt sign language. By the way, I am hearing. This was a great video.

He may not be able to hear a thing, but he LISTENS like a champ! And...have you watched him DANCE??!?!?!?!?

As a CODA, growing up in the Deaf culture I have seen what you're talking about as far as education goes. Different levels across the board. As an interpreter for the DHH in the school system, I have seen deaf children not getting the education they need. Some with hearing parents that don't communicate or sign with their deaf child. MIND BLOWING! Absolutely the saddest thing I have ever seen. Just recently I was interpreting for a deaf student who was from Honduras. A healthy , happy boy that was already behind a grade because of his parents moving him around so often. His father was no longer in the picture and his mother only spoke Spanish. This kid knew signs he had learned during his school years, which weren't many years. Like the few parents out their that don't sign with their deaf kids, his mother didn't either. The DHH Teacher and I put together flash cards with Spanish and English words with ASL . Since the COVID has happened , He and his mother have moved again. We have lost touch. My heart breaks to think he may be another Deaf kid to slip through the "cracks". Thank you Nyle for helping people become aware.

@@lolotas8903 Your description of ASL is incorrect. Correct: ASL is highly inflectional, several meaning-bearing parts are stuffed into a single sign. So an ASL sentence may contain fewer signs than words in an English one. It also requires more context from the previous sentences or from the environment to understand. An ASL sentence often doesn't incorporate separate pronouns, for example, it may not contain an overt subject when the subject is already given in the previous sentence as a topic, like Italian or Spanish.

@Mars S, How could you read my 2-pence correction as being rude?! It is plainly necessary, and the incorrect pronouncement needs to be clarified. Have I insulted fakenews? ASL and any other signed languages have been maligned repeatedly as being primitive, lacking grammar or syntax, having limited vocabulary, lacking culture, being an elaborate pantomime, "monkey language", and their users said to be of low intelligence. The descriptions given in the comments above could easily render to such interpretations. This mindset led educational policymakers, oralist educators, and ENT professionals to advise hearing parents not to use sign language with their deaf children and to only speak with them, thus suppressing it out of blind audism. Those opinions, albeit prejudices, were normative for more than 250 years in the history of the education of the deaf. I know that they were uttered mostly out of ignorance, but the professionals on the other hand did say those things as a matter of truth. What I was trying to do was simply educational. A plea of "please do not repeat those prejudices" is implied.

Really cool that hearing school friends could sign even though the nearest deaf people lived far away. Presumably members of this strong deaf family taught them, or taught him how to teach them! Brilliant.

But what impressed me most was this young girl from the Netherlands or something like that who had been volunteering in Sri Lanka and was so great at lip reading English which was not even her mother tongue. All of them sure seemed to know sign language as well though. Whereas here in Austria I've met deaf kids as well who don't seem to receive the support they would need from their families - and formal institutions like schools cannot fill this gap completely I was told.

The interpreter is ahead because this is a "high stakes" interpretation for a formal presentation. In order for Nyle to be expressed clearly in the interpretation, most interpreters prepare beforehand studying the speakers script so they have full context as to what he will say, reducing interpreters errors - putting more focus on the speaker. I am sure this interpreter did as well. This is one of the many things they teach when you become an interpreter.

I agree that an interpreter is suppose to sound professional but I get a feeling that within this process the interpreter is missing out on emotions big time. Nyle is an inspiration. Deafness is not a disability if you know Sign language. I can hear him loud and clear. Hearing individuals should know nd learn some Sign Language to make this world an inclusive place. I feel blessed to be an interpreter.

sh0rty101 thats not entirely accurate. You have the general idea, but the last few lines you wrote are incorrect. There are not signs that correlate to ‘is’ or bridging words in our language but there is grammar in the sense of the order you sign in, starting with time first, leaning forward or backwards to indicate the future or past, neutral signing zone, etc. facial expression help give context to the signs you’re using. As many signs have various meanings based entirely how you’re using it to define the sign.

You're doing better with edits for deaf speakers. The slower pans and transitions are a lot better than some past videos. But the jump cuts and weird far off angles still cut out sections. Videos of people speaking in sign language need to be filmed from approximately waist up and primarily facing head on. I get that it's hard to track with someone who paces around, but a person speaking in sign should always have their hands shown whether or not someone is interpreting for the audience.

He makes me want to learn how to sign❤️

Nyle is such a beautiful person, both inside and out, and what he is doing is SO important--not just for the deaf community, but for the world at large. I am a hearing person, but a couple of years ago, I began taking ASL classes at our local LGBT Center. I've always been interested in language and understand the importance of effective communication. I am still taking classes, learning a little more each week. I also watch ASL videos here on KZread, attend social gatherings for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community where ASL students like me are welcomed. It has been a truly eye-opening experience for me. I wish our country was more progressive in the area of teaching multiple languages in our K-12 educational system. Children can assimilate language very quickly, and it would be a boon to our society if every school-age child in the U.S. was taught English, American Sign Language, and AT LEAST one foreign language of his or her choice (be it Spanish, French, Italian, Swahili, Hindi, or whatever) starting around the age of 6 or 7 and continuing through to high school graduation. Not only would we be a more progressive, successful nation, but a much more compassionate one as well.

Can we have this with closed captions please.

I agree, Nyle. Most Speech-Language Pathologist have not advocated for your linguistic rights. Access to ASL is a right.
