How do people who are born deaf as in not hearing learn sign language?
I'm not deaf, but I work at a school in Mexico teaching sign language. Most of my students were born deaf, or lost their hearing at a very young age. The way we teach them here is by starting with simple concrete objects. You point at a tree, then show them the sign for tree. Or you point at the color red and show them the sign for the word red. Once they start understanding that everything has a sign, they'll start asking you about signs. After awhile you teach them the alphabet and numbers, and go from there.
