I am deaf and communicate by sign language, and I was wondering if anyone on the island knew sign language - regardless of if the person is a novice or an expert signer.

I'd be very curious to learn of the Papiamentu sign language (does it exist? I have no clue...). Jackie and I would like to simply meet someone during supper one day during our vacation just to chat.

Liz at Golden Reef Inn knew some fingerspelling and a handful of signs - it was cool to know that. It's always a treat to meet people that knows some signs.

Matt,
When will you be on Bonaire?

June 28 to July 6

We will miss seeing you guys. My niece signs. ASL is her second language. She lives in St Aug.

Matt

papiamento sign language exists. It is taught in special schools in Curacao. I know a few deaf people on Bonaire but have never seen them use sign language.

My daughter was taught sign in her private school as a second language for 4 years. I worked with deaf individuals for years. My last educational appointment I had a deaf student. ASL was the second language taught in our middle school. I am VERY rusty but...

There you go again Ann.... is there anything you can't do???
LOL!!
