Details: fingerspelling Details: facial expressions Details: body language You should include a main idea and some details What is sign language? Many people think sign language is universal. In other words, they think one sign means the same thing in every country. That is not true. Sign language is a real language for people with hearing problems. It has its own words, its own grammar and its own way of showing feelings. Three things are important in it. The first one is fingerspelling. They spell out the letters one by one by using their fingers, so they can "write" any word in the air. The second one is facial expressions. The same hand sign with a different expression on the face can say "hello", "please" or "no". The last one is body language. The hands, the arms and the body all carry meaning, and they work together with the face. Because of cultural differences, there are many different sign languages in the world, just as there are many spoken languages. So we may misunderstand people from other countries, even when their hands look the same as ours. What do the underlined words mean?
