Blog #6: My circle

 Tatsushi Iwamoto

     Hi! I haven’t seen you for a long time. This is Tatsushi. Today, I’d like to introduce my circle, Nozomi. It is sign language circle.


     When I was junior and senior student, I played tennis, but I wanted to start something new in the university. So, first I decided to enter squash club. In addition, I was interesting in volunteer activity, so I entered sign language circle, Nozomi.

     We learn sign language on every Monday and Tuesday after 6 p.m. At first, we studied many words of sign language every week, so it was very difficult for me to memorize all and I could not talk deaf person by sign language at all. However, I learned many words, so now I can talk such a person by it a little.

     About 60 people belong to our circle now and the ratio of men to women is one to three. You may think we are very serious persons and even bore. It is not true! We usually hold a dinner and go to Karaoke. In addition, we go on a trip as one of the circle activities. It means Nozomi is ordinary circle like the others.



     If you are interested in sign language, please say something to me!

     Thank you!

    Hi Tatsushi,
    I think the people in this circle must be really nice and kind and sensitive because they all have interest in communicating with deaf people. Have you ever signed to someone deaf?
    I hope you will have a chance someday.

    During school festival, we will teach sign language to people who don’t know sigh language or have interest in it. About 3 months ago, I used sigh language to communicate with deaf people. However, it was really difficult for me.
