Why you should learn a sign language
from Language & Travel Hacking Hosted by Fluent in 3 Months
In this episode of the Language and Travel Hacking podcast, I share why I believe everyone should consider learning their country’s sign language. When I first picked up American Sign Language (ASL), I didn’t expect how deeply it would connect me to the deaf community in the US. It gave me access to a rich, often overlooked culture, and offered a completely new way to communicate and make friends. ASL quickly became one of my favourite languages, and I decided to add it to my permanent list of languages to maintain. Now, I’m diving back into ASL as my next language project while travelling across the US. I’ve already started reviewing vocabulary and am aiming to push my level closer to fluency. Sign languages aren’t universal—each country has its own—so I recommend learning the one used where you live. It opens doors to new communities and perspectives you might never have encountered otherwise. Give it a go—it’s truly worth it.
