Yes. A deaf person can go deaf after learning English, or they can be taught English as a first language, often through lip reading, though this is not a very efficient way to use language.

聋 is the Chinese Mandarin character for deaf. The word is pronounced "long" with a tone rising as the word is pronounced. It sounds very similar to the English word long.
AnswerI would say most do. Living in an English speaking country the language is all around us - hard to miss it. In addition if a person became deaf later in life they would have already have acquired the English language. Moreover many deaf children are taught sign systems that follow English grammar. However your observation may stem, if you're not just narrow-minded, not from a lack of knowledge of the language but a preference for ASL which is a separate and unique sign language that has its own sentence structure.AnswerThe question is based on a faulty premise: that deaf people don't have any concept of English. Deaf people in America have a concept of English by necessity if nothing else. What the question may be referring to is the broken written English that is sometimes seen within the ASL Deaf community. If a signer's first language is ASL and English is a secondary language, they may inadvertently use ASL grammar with English writing, which can often make the message incomprehensible to a native English reader.In general, however, most educated Deaf/deaf people in the United States have excellent English skills. Many excel at lip reading and speaking, reducing their deaf accent, and are thus able to actually have full conversations with hearing people, in English, despite having little to no hearing.
Gertrude Ederle became deaf after suffering from a severe case of measles at the age of 12. The illness led to complications that resulted in her hearing loss. Despite this challenge, she went on to become a celebrated swimmer and the first woman to swim across the English Channel in 1926. Her determination and achievements made her an inspiring figure in sports history.
Teaching English to the deaf allows them to communicate with a broader range of people, access written information, and improve their job opportunities. It also helps them participate more fully in society and fosters inclusivity.
The Frank Barnes School for Deaf Children opened in 2007. It is a bilingual school located in London, United Kingdom, providing education for deaf children using both British Sign Language and English.
Beatrix Potter was neither deaf nor blind. She was a talented English writer and illustrator best known for her children's books, such as "The Tale of Peter Rabbit."
Deaf bilingualism refers to the ability of deaf individuals to communicate fluently in both a sign language (such as American Sign Language) and a spoken/written language (such as English). This bilingualism fosters better cognitive development and cultural identity within the deaf community. It emphasizes the importance of both languages to facilitate effective communication and social interactions in diverse environments. Ultimately, deaf bilingualism enhances access to information and opportunities for deaf individuals.
