"There should be a universal sign language..." - My thoughts

April 27, 2021 • Ahmed Khalifa • Episode 90

Episode 90 - There has forever been an ongoing trend by hearing people to demand a universal sign language (yet you never see sign language users say the same thing...hmmm).

It is never too long before one sees comments on social media about "why is there no universal sign language". But even for me, as someone who is learning sign language, I have my own thoughts around this trend.

And it's an uncomfortable one.
