The sign language alphabet forms the basis of communication in sign language. By understanding and using the alphabet signs, you can spell out words, names, and specific terms that may not have their own unique sign. The letter “J” is one of the least frequently used letters in sign language.
Hold your dominant hand in a fist, palm facing outward, with only your pinky finger standing upright then draw a “J” in the air with your pinky finger.
Job opportunities and career paths for Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals span a wide range of fields, including education, healthcare, technology, arts, and advocacy. Many Deaf individuals have achieved remarkable success in their chosen professions, breaking down barriers and shattering stereotypes.
