The 15th Letter: What Is Deaf Support Life?

Back to the 14th letter: "You Can't Hearing. Why About That?", I have some my documents which very important for you and the readers. I trust everyone don't know what is that.

I will explaining what is that:

1. Sonic Bomb Alert

I had been using that when I was sleeping in my friend home. That's good tool despite I was kind of interrupted because of vibration. But, I like that. Unfortunately, it's just sold in the United States not Indonesia. So, Indonesia hasn't the best tool yet. My friend bought Sonic Boom in the United States so that he brought in Indonesia.

2. SquareGlow

SquareGlow is bell lamp technology for Deaf people. In Indonesia, you will find many people use voice bell and never get lamp bell. So, Indonesia hasn't those good tool. All tools and technologies only sold in the United States and maybe there are another countries. 

So, I believe you'll know what is that. I hope Indonesia will has those good tool for Deaf people or Indonesia will make own tool for Deaf people. Deaf people always needs those life tool. 

Thank you, everyone.

Gloss, A Forgotten Learning Foreign Language and Translate

I was testing a student who stood up to share her short story in signs in our class. She was so good at signing despite sign language being the third language that she is learning and isn't a native speaker. She was confused about gloss or glosa in Indonesian. That's the thing that is most often forgotten when learning and translating a foreign language. Foreign language teachers almost never teach about gloss to students and yeah, I am sure some do and some do not.  The Gloss (Gr) means when a word is attached to a sign in simple terms.
