Good morning, Malang! How are you? I'm fine and I'm excited to writing the first letter through this new blog. Actually, I was already writing this blog in the past years ago but haven't written in a long time. Yes, this is 2020 years, I shall opened new blog and that happened to me. I'm very grateful to God. 

I'm here in Malang because of YDAT (Youth Disability Advocate Training) training event in the Ibis Styles Hotel, Malang. Malang is an Indonesian city located in East Java, Indonesia. YDAT is one of events from the cooperation between La Torbe University (Melbourne, Australia) and Brawijaya University (Malang, Indonesia).

  1. I'm Raka Nurmujahid or my Chinese name is Li Raka (李)
  2. I was born in Sragen but raised in Surakarta, Indonesia
  3. When I was born with hearing, but only five days with hearing and being Deaf because of sick.

  6. I still learning Chinese [Mandarin simplified], American Sign Language (ASL), International Sign (IS), and sure English. But, I hope I will learn Spanish.
  7. I’m a Javanese but technically I am not Javanese because I can’t speaking Javanese and didn’t know anything about Javanese culture. I felt to being Deaf person as my identity.
  8. I’m grew up oral communication when I was student in Don Bosco school (Deaf school but with oral communication method), Wonosobo for 9 years.
  9. I also studied in an inclusive school for 6 years  (SMP and SMA).

Apakah Anda Sungguh Berpikir Bahwa Orang Tuli Tidak Bisa Belajar Bahasa Inggris? (Terjemahan Bahasa Indonesia)

Sumber:https://www.fitriananda.com/2020/08/ayo-belajar-bahasa-inggris-seru-loh_19.html  Sebagai orang Indonesia yang terlahir sebagai orang Tuli tidak akan pernah mudah. Ada banyak stereotipe tentang orang Tuli, seperti bodoh, bahasa isyarat adalah bahasa Tarzan, tidak ada masa depan, bisu, tidak sempurna, berdosa, dll. Dan juga, banyak orang dengar berpikir bahwa bahasa isyarat tidak dapat membantu orang Tuli untuk belajar untuk menulis dan berbicara. Sebaliknya, membaca bibir yang diyakini banyak orang dengar dapat membantu orang Tuli untuk menyesuaikan kehidupan masyarakat dengar secara standar. Seperti halnya Alexander Graham Bell adalah pendiri telepon, saya tidak yakin karena sejauh ini saya tahu bahwa dia mencuri telepon yang diklaimnya. Dia membenci bahasa isyarat karena menurutnya bahasa isyarat tidak dapat membantu orang Tuli untuk menulis bahasa Inggris dengan baik. Saya akan menjelaskan sejarah singkat Tuli tentang apa yang terjadi warisannya yang mengerikan untuk gener...

How Deaf People Experience Music?

Source: Drooble The Blog Fell the vibe: How deaf people experience music and create music When I was at the International English Center, I listened to music on my white earphone, my friend asked me, "How do you experience music?" This was a good question because hearing people think that Deaf people can't listen to music.  I answered, "Yes, I do!" How can it be?

So, how can Deaf people experience music?  Firstly, we must always be grateful to God because we are born to have a modern-technology and it makes our life become easier and more accessible.

Why Should A Deaf Person Lives On A Hearing World?

As continued in previous writing titled "Am The Only Deaf Person", I want to speak on why should a Deaf person lives on a hearing world.  This is would be interesting because you know that none of many Deaf populations as much as hearing people have. Hearing people are bigger than Deaf people. Living as a Deaf person isn't easy, even for a hearing family who has Deaf children. Many hearing people do not know sign language. Only hearing people included a Deaf ally and maybe only 5% of the hearing people know sign language.  Which are least 10% of Deaf people who have studied at a mainstream school and as a bit of raised in the hearing world in all their life. As Surya-who was a Deaf panelist on Zoom- said that there are 90% of hearing families who have Deaf children and I can say only 4% of hearing families admitted to want to learn or teach sign language as a first language to their Deaf children. Everything can't change but Deaf people can be living on a hearing worl...
