NZ Sign Language Week competition
New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) is uniquely ours and one of the three official languages of Aotearoa.
It is the language of New Zealand’s Deaf community that combines the use of the hands, body and facial expressions. It is a language for EVERYONE.
We’ve seen lots of examples of NZSL in use this year. When our Prime Minister (Jacinda Ardern) and Director General of Health (Ashley Bloomfield) update us on Covid-19, they always have someone translating what they say in NZSL.
New Zealand Sign Language week (10 - 16 May 2021) is the perfect time to learn the basics and try signing with your friends…
