Hello, everybody. How are you today?
I am very excited. Do you know why?
It's because I've been learning how to say things in sign language.
But did you know the words on sign language are different
depending on the language you're speaking?
For example, if I want to say how are you in English,
I say...
And if I want to say...
In Spanish I say...
And if I want to say please in English, I say...
And if I want to say por favor in Spanish...
Like this.
But there are some things all sign languages have in common.
They all use gestures of the arms, the hands and the face.
So first let's talk about parts of the face.
Oh, look! What's this? It's a face,
but it's completely empty apart from the hair.
Can you help me to fill it up?
Let's see what we have here.
What is this? That's right.
It's a nose and it goes...
here.
We have one nose. What else can you see?
What are these?
Exactly, these are the eyes. We have
two eyes.
And do you know what those little hairs are called
we have on our eyelids?
Are they eyelashes, eye hair or eye fur?
Yes, they're called eyelashes.
Let's put them on the face.
And we have something else about our eyes.
What of these are called? That's right.
The eyebrows.
Now, what is the part of the face that we have between our nose
and our chin?
That's right. It's the mouth.
And the mouth has got two lips.
One above and one below.
And what else is inside your mouth? Do you know what these are called?
That's right. These are teeth.
And there's something else inside your mouth.
Exactly, the tongue.
And finally we have two more important parts of your face.
Between your cheek
and your hair.
That's right. The ears.
And look. Hey!
We did it! Great job everybody!
So we can use our arms, our hands
and our fingers also to talk to people.
We have two arms, two hands and ten fingers.
And we've learnt the parts of the face.
Like the eyes, the ears, the mouth and the nose.
And now we've learnt the parts of the body,
let's learn a bit more sign language.
What do you think?
Bye!
