[MrAmericanzombie]

the first word she learned was it,sorry

[Prestleybram]

@MrAmericanzombie no, it was water.

[Prestleybram]

@MrAmericanzombie no the first word she said was water when she was seven years old at the pump. I understand why you think her first word was it though cause i used to think that too. I live about an hour away from her birthplace and go there all the time cause i have been involved with the play for 5 years now. But her first word was water because she learned how to say water when she was a baby before she got sick. In the video she is clearly much older than seven years old. thanks though!

@BluePatriotWoman Yes it was fate that put Helen and Ann together.They were a perfect match and Ann in a way lived the same than Helen as a child,so she could fully understand her and help her!!what a great destiny..

Prestleybram, thank you for this lovely video.

@Prestleybram I am reading an anthology of Helen and Anne's writings. Helen did not speak at the time of her illness. She used the manual alphabet. She had a working vocabulary of about 60 words or actions when she learned the word "water." Through that word she finally understood about language. From that simple word she became a prolific and powerful writer. The fact that she knew and used English, French, German, Latin and Greek is stunning. That fate put those two together is a true miracle.
