the United States it is reported that nearly 10,000,000 people have hearing problems while approx 1,000,000 are functionally deaf. This got me thinking about the way deaf people communicate effectively in everyday situations.

1. You may have a relative or friend who is functionally deaf; you obviously would like to be able to communicate effectively with them. Think about what it would show to your family member or friend if you tried to learn American Sign Language. They in turn would be able to teach you as you go along and it would be a very rewarding experience.

2. If you work in or own a business it is highly probable that you will come into contact with a deaf person quite frequently. Just imagine the level of customer service that that person would receive if you could not understand sign language. While I am not suggesting you would need to know the language fluently, it may be a nice touch if you knew some basics.

3. It is increasingly more popular these days to teach your baby how to express himself even before he can speak. American Sign Language is the 3rd most used language in the United States. Should your child continue to learn American Sign Language after his 3rd year, he will have learnt a 2nd language. It will make life a lot easier if you know what your child is crying for well before his speech has developed fully, this will result in a happier child and happier parents.

4. You may want to learn about the deaf culture it was only truly recognized about 40 years ago. You may want to learn about this so you can fully immerse yourself when learning American Sign Language.

5. There are three different types of deafness all with different causes, learning American Sign Language would allow you to communicate effectively with deaf people so you can learn more about the various forms and understand more about them.

6. You may want to learn about various forms of sign language, American Sign Language is not the universal form, similar to different languages throughout the world there are several forms of sign language for example the alphabet is signed with one hand in ASL while you use two hands for it using British sign language.

7. As stated above the number of deaf people in the states is increasing, some people study American sign language in order to get a job as an interpreter. Or you may wish to translate in church or any group you may belong to.

8. You may be in the medical profession such as a doctor or audiologist you certainly would be able to put your patient at ease if you could sign.

9. Teaching may be your passion and American Sign Language is becoming more popular so you may wish to study to a completely fluent level.

10. Finally it is a beautiful way to express yourself, and completely unique.
