NZSL Week May 6th to 12th 2019
Did you our second official language except for English in NZ?
The first language is Māori
The second language is NZSL (New Zealand Sign Language)
Lastly language in some area in the Government is English.
This is correct as a deaf linguist.
Did you notice anything different on social media lately through the breaking news, in the Parliament Debate etc in New Zealand?
An NZSL interpreter signing for the Deaf, deaf and Hard of Hearing people and children around NZ. Note we don't use the word 'hearing impaired' anymore through medical, GP, even to label people/children and elderly people who have hearing loss.
Do you want to learn to do sign language for fun, to communicate with your family member, friends even your neighbour like me living in Eureka?
May 6th to 12th 2019.
