仕事で「ベビーサイン」の教室の見学に行ってきました。
「なになに？」と思っていたのですが、なんと赤ちゃん用の手話！6ヶ月から1歳半の赤ちゃんに、歌や絵本と一緒に動作をすると２～３ヶ月で覚えて、手話をし始めるそう。
なんだか凄くないですか！！：）
まだ言葉が話せない赤ちゃんと意思相通ができるの！
それでも「日本のサイン」と「アメリカのサイン」とすでにパターン分けされていて、バベルの塔は高かったな。と思わずにはいられないのでした。

I visited a `Baby Sign` class the other day for work... I didn`t have a clue what this was, may be it`s popular more in the west, or maybe it`s me... But it`s sign language for babies!
You can start around 6 months till about 1 and 1/2yrs old (by then they start talking), you sign along with songs and books. They learn to sign in 2 to 3 months!
Isn`t that just amazing?
You can communicate with babies who don`t talk yet!
The interesting or rather unfortunate thing was that there already is `Japanese sign` and `English sign` already different at this stage. Sure there may be culture differences, but isn`t that a bit sad the difference already exists this young?
