Deaf Code - Episode 6 | Tips for Newbies, Do's and Don'ts, & Getting Attention

[@MeshedLight]

from Aotearoa NZ: 👋 these are good tips for learning any sign language/meeting any Deaf community 👋 if I could add anything, for hearing folk in particular - if you're new to visiting Deaf spaces - be patient. Don't demand Deaf folk cater to you just because you're learning. When Deaf community gets together it's often the times Deaf folk can relax amongst peers who know their language & culture, and they can relax & be themselves. There will be folk who have capacity to chat with you to support your learning the language, just remember its not something that Deaf community owes you.
