When I first met a deaf person who could speak, I assumed she was from some foreign country, because she talked funny.
A childhood belief about speaking
others believed things like this
- I used to believe, that I am able to speak every foreign language only by learning "their" alphabet.— matej
- I would speak in gidderish, convinced that it was some foreign language I had never heard of— Molly
- I heard my mum talking about foreign people, and I later asked, "have you ever been to Foreign?"— Kia
- i used to think when my parents talked that "so and so" was actually a person.— karmely cullen
- When I was little ,I used to believe that deaf people didn't have ears.— rainbow
- I'm deaf in one ear. Until I was 7 I believed that if I didn't sleep on my good ear, dinosaurs would eat me.Anon
