It would be logical to think that a person with a hearing disability has reading as a main hobby. Their sense of sight is more developed, so reading looks like the perfect method for entertainment.
This could be true in people who are hard of hearing, post-lingual deafness or age-related deafness. However, people that were born deaf usually have serious difficulties when it comes to reading and expressing themselves through writing in Spanish.
Letâs look at the next sentence for example:
Are you coming over to my house to eat?
In Sign language this phrase would be arranged like this:
My house, you, me, together, eat, come, yes/no
 Most of us that can hear have experimented this misconception when we face some text that has been automatically translated. We understand all the words in the text, but we canât always decipher the message delivered to us. The reason behind this is that different languages have different grammatical structures. Thatâs why if we limit ourselves to translate word-for-word we wonât get very good results. The same occurs with deaf people. They read words they know, but they are not in the right order.
