Lip reading schools.

WoO! I mush much agreed with you.. Meg & Cheri.. M, P, B are pita.. and other words too..

I grew up Oral thearpy-- NO sign languages till I was around 1st grade, I met some deaf kids, their signs got me so fanscazing and I learned some.. but I got alot of pushiments from that.. it was unhappy child moments for me.. I was forcing to learn lip reading and speak ... no signs.. at age 15, I lost more hearings and became deaf.. I still do readlips and speak very well..
till less 10 years ago, my jaws broke and wear full plate dentures, my speech is studder and blur.. it was hard to use dentures and different pattern for my speaking speech, so I willing to give up my good skill speeches.. but of course I still lipreading... and SIGNS!!! If i go blind, I still have my fingers to sign... if my fingers gone, i still can lipreading.. hehe!! anything goes with communications are much techie!!

hehe
 
Im also feel that Im a good lipreader, all my friends say so, especially when we play the lipreading game hehe!

When lipreading, you use the words that you have picked up from the sentence to help you understand what they say, usually a good lipreader will pick up something like this...

"Yesterday....shopping....many clothes....arms hurting like....lie down now"

Deaf people fill in the blanks, but sometimes we get it wrong.

I have on so many occasions, the thing is I say what I caught them saying and fill in the blanks by saying the weirdest stuff, it works as it makes them laugh rather then feel akward and wonder whether to repeat themselves again

They are a lot of good lip readers out there. Why you think the pitcher covers his mouth with his glove talking to catcher? And coaches cover a piece of paper on the sideline when they give out a call? Cause some people from the other team can read lips well and they know what theyre gonna do.
 
ROFL!!! :laugh2: WTG!! :thumb: Vampy! I am one of those people-- lipreaders and can speak some! :-D Happy what I have and appreciated my parents that sent me to speech therapy! But glad I am deaf PERIOD! :)

Yeah, true... but not all the times. I believe
this depend on each individuals lip movement style
and it also depend if you feel relaxed
then you'd be able to lipread better...

People said that I'm an excellent lip reader
because they assumed that I could NOT pick up
their conversations on the sideline instead
of being on the front, but they were shocked
that I understood what they were talking about
toward each other even without hearing any
single sound at all. Of course I cannot lipread
when I feel too stressful.

I can lip read my Mom pretty well while
she was talking on the phone to someone else.
She had to cover her mouth sometimes if
she did NOT want me to know something ha

It's harder to lip read anyone who said only one word
because it's harder to figure out if they said P or B with
only one word so... that's why I usually asked them
to speak one full sentence or re-phrase so that would be
easier for me to lip read that way.
 
I can lip read joe torries mouth very well. I told rick dempsey what the yanks gonna do. But orioles won that game in camden yards. :twisted:
