New Zealand Sign Language Week - Te wiki o te reo turi

New Zealand Sign Language Week is an opportunity for all New Zealanders to find out a bit more about New Zealand Sign Language, and get a chance to try it for themselves.

Try your ninja signing skills in this online game. It is challenging but worth a go.

Listen to the following video about Ren who expresses her frustration at the way others treat her because she is deaf. I am guilty of number four. I attended a community class to learn sign language and it was the first encounter I had to converse with a deaf person and I fell into this trap. I learnt a lot about my own ignorance. Have you seen or heard of any of the other ten?
