Did you know that New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) is one of Aotearoa’s official languages alongside te reo Māori and English? It was officially recognised in 2006 under the NZ Sign Language Act.
NZSL is a rich, visual language that uses hand movements, facial expressions and body language and it plays a vital role in the identity, culture and everyday communication of the hearing impaired and non-verbal community here in Aotearoa.
💛 Why it matters:
Learning even a few signs can help create a more inclusive, connected community where everyone feels seen, heard and valued.
👉 Keen to learn? Here are some great resources:
• LearnNZSL (free online learning): https://www.learnnzsl.nz
• NZSL Dictionary (app + online videos)
• Deaf Aotearoa – courses, workshops training
• NZSL4U – fun, flexible online & in-person classes
📍 Local option in Nelson:
• Deaf Aotearoa Nelson and Bays offers support, resources and can help connect you with NZSL learning opportunities in our region.
🤟 This week, why not learn a new sign each day?
Small steps can make a big difference in building a more inclusive Aotearoa.
