It really is amazing and I cant help thinking that being deaf somehow makes it easier to learn.I know when you lose your sight your hearing is meant to get better but this is different from that.

I wouldnt mind learning sign language as it looks alot easier to learn but i'm not sure how my stoned memory would cope with it :stoned:
