Welcome to The Hear Me Out! [CC] Podcast, an audio show (with transcripts included) where we listen to stories from fascinating individuals in and around the d/Deaf community and from your host, yours truly, Ahmed Khalifa.
In this episode, I answer the question on what is the easiest language to lipread?
This is yet another question that I've seen crop up on Google and Quora.
Even though the easy answer is whatever is your main spoken language, the other answer is the dreaded "it depends".
Because it's all well and good trying to get a linguistic to understand which language is the easiest and hardest to lip-read; but it's all irrelevant because it never allows you to completely comprehend what the person is saying. There are too many factors to take into considerations, not to mention the basic tips on how to communicate with deaf people.
