in special,</font></span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span><font face="Courier">today I watched a short
report about a BBC-project called See Hear <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/seehear/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.bbc.co.uk/seehear/</a> ,
which deals with TV-matters for deaf people.</font></span></div>
<div><span><font face="Courier">The report I saw was made
by the German radio- and TV-station 'Bayerischer Rundfunk', which obviously has
any similar project, because the director of the film was deaf,
too.</font></span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span><font face="Courier">I could watch the
communication between the German moderator and his British guests
(the director Terry Riley in special) which of course was completely held
in sign language, but for non-deaf spectators translated into normal language
and subtitled.</font></span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span><font face="Courier">I was very surprised and
impressed again about the speed of their talks.</font></span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span><font face="Courier">I'd like to know: how is
it possible for a deaf German to communicate so fast with a deaf British man in
sign language, which, as I presume, was the British (BSL)
version?</font></span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span><font face="Courier">For me for example it
would have been impossible to talk so fast in normal
English.</font></span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span><font face="Courier">So, my question: had
the German moderator to learn BSL up to any very high level or is German sign
language (DSL) very similar to BSL so there's a basical degree of understanding
each other?</font></span></div>
