“No one has ever told me that a single sign language can have so many different meanings.”
"A Deaf and Special Education Teacher Explains the Polysemy of Sign Language!"

For farmers, sign language is the first language.
However, if we look at the sign language books published so far, it is no exaggeration to say that almost all of them are books for hearing people, by hearing people.
The author, a farmer and special education teacher, assumes that Korean is a foreign language to farmer.
Therefore, I suggest that just as the hearing people learn English, the deaf people should also learn Korean as a foreign language.
The author chose the dictionary format to effectively convey the various meanings of a single sign language.
This is a completely new approach to learning sign language.
And the author has put into the book his life as a farmer and his experiences as an educator with extensive experience in special education settings.

Looking into the book, 6,914 frequently used keywords were selected and 8,286 example sentences were organized in alphabetical order.
The moment they open the book, readers will realize how much effort the author put into writing it.
In particular, the example sentences included in the dictionary are vivid and contain a variety of information to enhance their usability, as they cite conversations that farmers actually use in their daily lives.
In addition, to help with understanding sign language related to agricultural culture, supplementary explanations were added in footnotes to enhance understanding and enjoyment.
For the convenience of readers, we have organized the title 'Sign Language Dictionary' into an 'Index' section so that you can easily look up keywords.

This book will also be very useful for hearing people who are interested in sign language and want to learn it.
The model's sign language and facial expressions are accurate and rich, making them easy to understand.
And it will be a fun experience to learn polysemy and example sentences from a sign language you didn't know before.
As the author hoped, I have no doubt that this book will serve as a driving force for farmers to have educational opportunities, dream, and run toward those dreams.
And I hope that this will be the answer that will allow the hearing people to deeply understand sign language and communicate with the deaf.
Finally, I send my applause and endless support to the author who took on the reckless challenge of bringing this book to the world.
