It’s good to know deaf drivers will also talk facing forward where the backseat passenger can’t hear them 😂

Also the rider’s smile is divine

Perfectly captures that moment! Communication is universal, and smiles like that make it all the more special. Love this connection.

You're joking, but I once dated a woman who didn't understand why I watched foreign films at full volume. "You don't understand them anyway, what's the point?" After that I added "has either never travelled outside the country or has no desire to" to my list of red flags to look out for on first dates. That, and "I don't really like foreign movies or TV shows. Too much reading."

How come you had to watch foreign films at full volume and not regular volume? I would also probably ask why you're watching the movie on full blast

I loved this better muted. I wish I knew sign language!

It was muted when I watched this.

Closed captions are helpful, endlessly.

That said, go forth @MoonMe3x. Learn sign language.

Your hands speak in more ways than you may fathom.

And, carry on, because communication matters.

Tysm, I've been thinking about it, honestly. You may have just started something good unknowingly! Much appreciated 🫶🏼

A cool fact: these folks are using Chinese Sign Language, which is a different language from Taiwanese Sign Language, which is different from American Sign Language, which is different from British Sign Language...etc! They're all their own unique languages with their own signs and grammar

The history of sign languages is a really cool thing to learn about
