Hi bloggers,
This week is the New Zealand national sign language week, 14 years ago sign language came one of the official languages of New Zealand. So for our tasks this week we had to create a video of us signing our name, and we had to go onto sign ninja which is a site that you learn how to sign all different types of things.
As one of the country’s official languages, more than 24,000 New Zealanders use NZSL daily. It is also the 12th most frequently used language out of about 190 languages currently used in New Zealand. There are hundreds of sign-based languages in use around the world, and even within a given language, there can be different ways. For example, people in Christchurch may use slightly different signs than people in Wellington.
