If you want to do something to the society, you should stop speculating how it can be done and start acting. You have many ways. One among them is to help those who are hearing-impaired, for which learning Language will be a good idea. Learning sign Language is very difficult because you should find a good teacher for learning it. The truth is teaching a Language is more difficult than learning it. We all have tongues that can be used for speaking and not using the tongue is very difficult. The person who teaches the language should act as if he/she is deaf. You may not always get a deaf teacher to teach you the language.
You have online training programs available on the Internet and these programs teach you with the help of visual aids and illustrations. On top of it, the programs are manned by real deaf teachers.
Even while you are learning language, you should act as if you are deaf. Otherwise it will be difficult to learn it. Another interesting thing is that the grammar of the sign language is much different from those of other languages. So only if you think you are deaf, you will be able to stop thinking in the language you actually speak. Otherwise, your signs will resemble your speaking. This will lead to incorrect sign language.
Your sign language can be perfected only if you practice it with all earnestness. But unfortunately, you can not practice it as often as possible because in real life, you may not get many chances to use it. Of course, you can find people who may also be interested in learning sign language. You may also have deaf communities in your area. You should make efforts to find them out, connect with them and visit them often so that you will get opportunities to converse with them in the language. Such communities are available online also. Using videos, you can practice and rehearse whatever you have learned in the sign language.
If you delve deep into the sign language, you will find that order and structure are there in a language. It almost follows the structure and order of words where very minimum space of the body is used in parallel. Space around the body is used in various ways to denote many things at a time. To quote an example, classifiers, that happen to be a different group of signs, is the basis for structure and ordering.
Another interesting thing about language is that it does not have direct parallel signs corresponding to the spoken language. For example, for the meaning beautiful, you have many words in English such as gorgeous, voluptuous, etc. But sign language has only one sign to denote all these. This is not the case for every word. In certain cases, you have several signs corresponding to the same word in the spoken language.
In certain cases, it is similar to foreign language translations into English and vice versa. You can not translate exactly because you may not have the exact word in English or in that language. Same is the case with sign language. You must know all these concepts when you are learning language.
