Penser.



I think in English. (As much as I'd like to think in French, I don't.)


Claudio and Carolina think in Italian.


In Paris, people think in French.


So tell me: What language do deaf people think in? Like, really. I'm extremely curious.


Who cares if he's shorter than I am? Because that accent is incredibly god-like.
All my love,
Addy

okay, not to be a creeper and comment on every post you post, but SERIOUSLY!!!! how do deaf people think?!!!

i'm so glad other people think about that. i haven't met another who has wondered that.

but according to my friend who is an offspring of a deaf person, they think in SIGN!

WHOA!

okay, done being a creeper.

Good question. Language is a means to express our thoughts, but I would say that our thoughts aren't governed by language. Although I do believe that the two influence each other.

Deaf people think the same way we do, they just use a different language to express those thoughts.

P.S. I love your blog!
