Many people are fascinated with SL and they should because it is a beautiful language.
Dtv has a new slot where we teach Sign Language, so if you have been practising, make sure you don't miss the lessons.

We welcome comments, criticism and encouragements which will help us to bring you better programmes.

SLED has developed a South African Sign Language (SASL) dictionary that covers basic vocabulary including, but not limited to, food, places, household objects, people, emotions, questions and time. The book and accompanying DVD have been designed not only as a reference for SASL vocabulary, but also to give a sound introduction to the grammar of the language.

The launch of the world's first online Animated Sign Language dictionary prototype was a huge success. We are entering the second phase now and plan to add 1500 Sign Language terms.

DTV (Deaf TV) won first handed the Media/TV category, well done!

In the media category the winner in the television programme section is the SABC 3 magazine programme for the deaf - Dtv programme. The programme, broadcast at 12:00 on Sundays, educates, motivates, inspires and empowers and is made accessible to a broader audience with subtitles and voice over.

Braam Jordaan, a young Capetonian, from a predominantly deaf family is currently working as film/animation director. Film and Animation are obviously a very good choice as it is very visually-driven and the only thing he could not do was the sound, but being Deaf has never put him down. The colours are his music! The cartoon Graca TV commercials are one of his latest work. Visit his website at www.braamjordaan.com for more information.
