“My story is with Hugo! I started my sign language course in November 2019 to help a deaf person with interpretation at Holy Mass! Right at the beginning of 2020, the pandemic hit, and we stopped the in-person sign language course! But I couldn’t stop learning and I strive to bring the word of God to that deaf person, so I started asking Hugo all my questions about signs and whenever possible I participated in Hand Talk’s live streams, which are wonderful by the way, and I learn many signs from the interpreters and deaf people who participate! Kisses to your heart ☺🥰🤟”
“I fell in love with someone who speaks sign language, and since I didn’t know how to get his attention, I downloaded Hand Talk and started learning some basic communication. I would memorize what I was going to say to him the next day 😘, and I learned little by little. In the future, I want to take sign language classes.”
“I’ve been using Hand Talk for over 2 years, ever since I started studying Libras (Brazilian Sign Language), and it has helped me a lot to increase my vocabulary and communicate with deaf people. I wanted to talk to them but couldn’t say certain things. I tried my best to make them understand me, but I couldn’t, so I would turn to Hugo, show them Hugo making the sign I didn’t know, and the deaf person would understand instantly. It was incredible! Hugo always saved me!”
“I fell in love with Libras at a church retreat and there I met part of a deaf community and I really wanted to be able to speak to them without help and I thought there was no way, until a close (hearing) friend of theirs introduced me to Hugo. It helped me a lot in my first steps and since then I’ve been studying Libras at home through courses and through this wonderful app♥️”
“Well, I had an incredible experience because my son is deaf, and in order to communicate with him, I had to meet Hugo because he awakens in me what my son awakens in life. Thank you, Hugo, my son and I are grateful 🙏.”
“Last semester I enrolled in the sign language course here at UFRN. Amidst my fear due to the difficulty of the subject and the fact that it was remote, I was hesitant, but I decided to face the challenge. Luckily, Professor Priscila was already well-prepared for this and recommended the Hand Talk app. Nowadays, I always take some time to study sign language using the app. It made all the difference in our class’s learning!”
