Japanese Sign Language 日本手話


English & Japanese Text by Carrie Chan

We usually use body language to get to communicate with people who don't share a common speaking language, but how well can you do it? Sign languages, which are mostly based on gestures showing the corresponding actions or subjects, may help in improving your skills in expressing yourself apart from being just a language used to communicate with deaf people.


共通の話す言葉を持っていない人とコミュニケーションを取ろうと思う時、いつもボディランゲージが出てくると思いますが、うまく行けない時もよくありますよね。手話を勉強することの一つのメリットは自分の表現力を向上できるのではないかと思います。なぜかというと、手話は手や指の動きによって実際の動作や物事を具体的に表現するようのが基本だからです。



During the workshop, Japanese sign language on simple words, numbers, colours and hiragana were taught. Every participants can now communicate with each other in Japanese Sign Language, we can use hiragana to express what we wanna say even we do not know the exact sign language for that specific word.

今回のワークショップでは、簡単な単語、挨拶、数字、カラー、平仮名の手話を教えていただきました。参加者の皆さんは今では簡単な手話でコミュニケーションを取ることができ、相応の手話の単語が分からなくても平仮名の手話で言いたいことを伝えるようになりました。


There is a simple quiz game which helped participants to memorize the sign language. Participants were also divided into pairs to practice with each other. The two hours passed so fast where we were all busying with twisting our fingers and elbow as we were practicing the sign language.


最初に100個ぐらいの手話を覚えるのは大変ですが、クイズゲームやペアでの「対話」によって、実際に教えてもらった手話を練習することで結構覚えるようになったと思います。手や指を動きながら日本手話を覚えるたびに、2時間のワークショップもとても早く過ぎたと感じました。


As a workshop at beginner level, it was a very successful one on teaching participants some useful basic sign languages, and it also aroused participants' interest about the language. Thank you Danny for the patience!


初心者向けのワークショップとして、基本手話の習得や興味が深くなったことで大変満足できるワークショップと思います。ダニーさん、ありがとうございました!
