Facility Question and Answers / Asian Sign Language
« on: May 16, 2007, 10:20:18 AM »
In countries like China/Korea/Japan,do the deaf use exactly the same Sign Languang as Americans?
Is it truly "International Sign Language"?
I know of one kind where the alphabet (A,B,C,D,E...) is signed with the hand,but Im interested about the other type of sign language where both hands and arms are used to form words and sentences.
How long does it take the average American to learn sign language well enough to get a job teaching Sign Language in China/Korea/Japan?
Do you think this is a good paying job for an American in China/Korea/Japan?
In my travels,I have often seen groups of deaf Chinese/Korean/Japanese people using Sign Language in public,but Im not sure if is the same Sign Language used in America.
