omg, i feel that the woman who is deaf has such a fantastic speaking voice!

I think it is cool how you're learning and such cued speech, but from experience, the sounds don't really matter to the deaf people who i have met. they moved to Sign Language (ASL) because MANY more people use the signed language

If you watch the video you'll learn that the lady on the left is the deafened one 1:33

@ASL8306 both of the speakers are using their second language - how can that not be successful?

@deafeagle4 I don't think it is accurate to say that Cued Speech is difficult as many people learn it in 5 days whereas a language can take years.

Cued Speech has its own place in learning how to pronounce words. It is quite old, around 1910 in Danemark under the name of Forchhammer Mundhandsystem. It never became a communication vehicle among Danish Deaf people as the manual alphabet does. For Dutch, the manual alphabet is completely adequate, since the written letters, for which the manual alphabet represents, correspond almost 100% to the phonemes of spoken standard Dutch. For the late deafened, cueing certainly helps to lipread.
