This is so awesome to watch, I love how they didn’t ignore the fact that there are so many people that are deaf and that she signed part of her speech! Not to make a big deal out of it, but thank you for all of the likes! :D
I remember that one time I was walking with a friend and a man who was standing on the sidewalk made a gesture with his hands, my friend made a gesture too and he smiled beautifully and made another gesture and she too, he looked very very happy, We continued walking and I asked my friend, is he your friend? and she told me no. There I realized that the enormous happiness he had was because someone understood his gestures and knew how to respond to him, I never forgot that moment that lasted about 10 seconds and his reaction and I realized the importance of at least trying to learn that language, we could make many people a little happier.
I was signing with a deaf friend while waiting for a fast food a few weeks ago, and made eye contact with some teenage girls also waiting. One of them signed at me 'are you deaf?' and I signed back, 'no, they are' (friend had just left to get a table). The excitement at seeing someone who recognises sign in the wild is real.
@@AngelofGrace96I used to cashier at a car dealership service department and one time we had a customer come in who was Deaf. I don’t know ASL, just a few words, one of which is Thank You, which I signed to him after he paid. The way his face lit up is something I’ll never forget. And at something so small in comparison to “knowing” how to sign just indicates to me how really forking rare it actually is.
So I had a patient once that is deaf and we were having a hard time getting our electronic translator working so I did my best with the few words I know and I could tell him was very excited that I knew any words at all. I know my alphabet so at worst I could spell it out but I know my colors and some food/drink related words. I also know my animals but that’s not as helpful in a hospital. He even taught me some new words!
FYI, calling signs "guestures" is like calling voiced speech "noises". All the different signed languages are full languages in their own right, with their own vocabulary, grammar, idioms, etc. Most people articulate their words with their mouths. Deaf people articulate their words with their hands.
@@R.F.9847 hi! thanks for the information, i called it gesture because i didn't know which word i should use to call it, english is not my language so i don't know very well how to use it. Now i know i have to say signs.. ;)
My son and his fiancé have been teaching my grandson sign language since he was a baby, i was so moved and asked why and my daughter in love said that “the number children born deaf is increasing and she wants my grandson to know that everyone is important and be included” i couldn’t help but cry and smile, so glad my son is with someone so compassionate and loving
@@SurvivalBetty why? because over half a million people in the US use ASL. Because not everyone is abled. Because children should learn from a young age about disability and respect for those of us who are disabled.
New Jersey elementary schools taught ASL in the 2000s. I learned it in 2nd grade but I can’t say I remember much lol. We even had a performance signing the song “Apples and Bananas”. Though, they don’t teach it at that school anymore I don’t think.
@@kareno8873 it would be popular but unfortunately without as many deaf people to actually use it on it would be pointless and the learning would be lost in a few years.
I really think they should at least offer it when they offer Spanish and French and whatever else. The more people you can communicate with the better! I couldn’t take ASL until college
I remember that night, and Jane Fonda inspired so many, including my sister, who was partially deaf in one ear, to want to learn American sign language as well. Good for her, and thank you for reminding me of that night.
My family along with my son who is nonverbal are learning to sign so we can communicate with him. We found that signing along with speaking with him helped him learn and communicate better. You have no idea what it feels like to see your son who is labeled nonverbal autistic speak with the help of signing. It is such a beautiful language and I can’t wait to learn it fluently.
I'm autistic and had selective mutism up until my late teens. I always wished I could learn sign language to communicate but I lived in a small community in a 3rd world country before the internet really became a thing, and so I had no way of learning. These videos have been rekindling my interest in learning to sign. Thank you for doing that for your son.
"The invisible handicapped"- I don't know much about the Def community but once while doing missions a young lady did a presentation about her heart for the Def community and how they often feel on the outside and very forgotten. I had never thought of it that way.
This is the first time I've ever seen someone sign themselves while speaking in public. It's startling in its simplicity, importance and how deserving it is. It's just right. It's rightly just. It's unjust that we don't all do it!
🤨 are we forgetting that sign language is a language? Like we aren’t expected to learn every language right? And then how is it decided which language we should learn. There are other languages likely more useful to most ppl than sign language as well. I’ve never met someone who was deaf. But I’ve met ppl who speak Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, German, Russian, Hindi, etc And it’s nice to have translators than to not have them at all right?
@@zellalaing5439you can teach yourself for free with YT videos or even Google can show you how. It's really easy and you can learn at your own speed. You'll start to notice others eventually as well. It's fascinating and wonderful.
@@Veroniczyeah but here’s the thing. Most people will tell you, if you go to another country you should learn at least a little basic vocabulary, maybe a little of the language rules etc. mainly for communication purposes but it’s also nice to do :) then we have sign language. A lot of countries have their own sign language. Based off the etiquette for other languages, we should all try to learn at least a lil of our native countries’ signs. Considering they walk around us every day, live in the same country etc. we should be able to communicate with deaf people technically more than foreign countries in their languages. Maybe just a few greetings, small talk, the alphabet can help too tho it’s ofc much longer.
I lost my hearing at 15. But I never learned sign language even when I was placed in specters class and asked that to be what I got out of it. I have gotten by by wear hearing aids. I am 43 with arthritis and many health problems and still don’t know. I am often hospitalized and because I’m not completely deaf I cannot get the compassion and care I need. So I avoid the hospitals and self diagnose. It’s still a struggle. Thank you for the captions.
Please stop self diagnosing because you're taking chances on making things worse for yourself. It would be to your advantage to learn sign because more than likely you will lose more of your hearing as time goes by. Do it for your own sake.
@@annarodriguez9868 when you have been doing what I have to do for so long you have to learn how to recognize certain things. Cant go running to the ER for everything. Whos going to pay for that? I’m 99% of the time correct before tests can even determine things. Have you ever been hospitalized or on your deathbed and came out worse because of communication problems? Cause I have more than not.
I had the opportunity to serve a mute customer as a regular. At the same place I had a coworker with a deaf child. Now I’m teaching my infant signs and she’s just started using them back, which is so rewarding! She can’t talk, but she can speak. Incredible. It’s so simple to add to your words. I wish this was taught in our public schools. This is heartwarming to see Jane Fonda do this back then. Thank you for sharing!
When she says she wanted to win very much and you realize a big part of that was specifically because she practiced this speech to make sure her signs were good. She wanted to win not to win but to be able to share this moment with the deaf community. She recognized the opportunity that would come with winning and she spent time practicing for it without knowing for sure if she would. I'm not a member of the Deaf community but I try my best to be an ally when and where I can, this seems like an incredible example of being a good ally who intentionally and purposefully and actively invites and welcomes the community in. She kicked open the door and used her platform to start a conversation she knew needed to happen but also didn't overstep to tell the story for the community, she simply opened the door so the community could step in and fill in the rest of the details
This is the best description of allyship I have ever read. So much better when people describe how to do things right, instead of picking at people for doing them wrong
This definitely brought me to tears. I was deaf the 1st 5 yrs of life and was blessed with hearing after multiple surgeries. Not many get that and remain to be the invisible handicap.
I feel like I have constant water in my middle ear, can't hear hardly anything & ears ring a million times worse than what you'd have happen after going to a loud concert. 67% deaf. May I ask how you got your hearing back? I sometimes think my my ear tubes are clogged up. I never have any wax & I can feel fluid moving around & it tickles at times. Did you maybe have clogged tubes? If so do you have a good doc recommendation. They scared me so I don't go without reference if at all possible.
@@PurpleOuchie I was born with cholesteatoma. At 1st the doctors thought my hearing issue was from my tonsils and adnoids, keep in mind it's 1984 and I'm 3yrs old. When I was 5yrs old they removed the growths and put in tubes for recovery. I also had been working with audiologists and speech pathologists post surgery.
This touched my heart so deeply. My mother-in-law and father-in-law are deaf, and I’ve seen, first hand, the struggles and prejudices that they suffer and I’m so glad to see an artist like Jane Fonda reaching out to them. Class act. 100%!
when i was younger i was an extra in one of her movies and she was genuinely so caring and actually talked to a lot of the extras over the course of filming, i love her
You can tell she is so earnest and it's so important to her that she get everything she possibly can out of her platform for this community. For instance when she says she really wanted to win- it's clear this was because she wanted to advocate, but it's a candid thing to say for a celebrity, and you can just tell that the last thing she's thinking about is her own image, her head is 100% in the game. It's so rare to get these little tells of honesty from celebs. They are normally so so polished
@@yahuahisking5483so I just google, cause I had no idea what you are talking about! And WOW! I am shocked, you are right! I couldn’t believe what I was reading! I really had no idea!
You do understand that she practiced what she was told for her speech. That's like praising someone's ability to speak Spanish because they practiced a few lines of it for a speech. ☠️🤡☠️🤡☠️
@@cececox6399 i took a public speaking class in highschool and its not as easy as it seems like it should be.yes it takes rehearsals to get it right but that can be said about literally anything and even then some people are still shit public speakers. Its a skill and im praising her for it. From first hand experience.
As a linguist, I think this was so wonderful of Jane Fonda to include the disabled, back when there was little to no awareness of disability. It's another language we should all be trying to learn.
I'm a Linguist in training 🥹. I'm working on my Associates degree with an introduction to Linguistics, but I decided to work towards my Master's degree in this field. I learned the alphabet of sign in elementary from this Alphabet's of the world book I found in my school library in the 6th grade. I wanted to learn sign in high school just because I saw a deaf girl desperately searching for help in sign but nobody could communicate with her. That touched my heart. I wish I never got distracted by life, but I'm following my soul's guide today.
@@amyw7200 No but sadly my uncle Nolan was in Vitnam he wasn't a P.O.W but him or my daddy couldn't stand her. I understand the reasons why. This wasn't about her stance on the war though this was about connecting with my brother and so many others in the deaf community.
I speak five languages, English,French, German, Danish, Swahili and my native Language Luo and I recently met this lovely 3 year old at the playground with her parents,all 3 deaf. She immediately clicked with my son and I and it made me sad that with all these languages I speak I couldn't communicate with them. It was such an eye opening experience that's gotten me more aware of how much people with hearing loss/deaf are intentionally cast aside by the hearing world . Now I'm on my journey of learning sign language as a 6th language. I hope more people can do this. This was beautiful to watch ❤
Aw 🥰 I’m sure one day when you get to tell them that, they’ll be so touched that you went out of your way to learn their language as your 6th, just to be able to communicate and connect better. You’re awesome, and knowing so many languages is seriously impressive!! 💖
Jane looks so beautiful here, its partly the joy & pride of making an important movie & using her platform to bring awareness to the invisible handicapped
@@catoniner I’m sure you’re a human and if I had to bet money, you probably don’t know what the word Anthropoid means. Sometimes you just don’t know some things, and that’s ok.
The meaning is understood but her signing is equivalent to someone who just learned a little English for a speech and although we get the message the words aren’t all accurate. So if you learned more from her than your ASL class, or lessen, then that’s very bad.
@@CatalleyaStorm That must be why she said she was signing only "part of" what she was saying. I think the captions cut out at that bit though? I can't sign or understand sign, but I came to the comments to underatand better ehat she meant by "part of". Learning a lot :p
I’m not deaf but I have hearing loss and use hearing aids. As time goes on, it gets harder for me to understand words through the noise. I’m learning sign language because inevitably, one day I’ll need it and that scares me. What would be the hardest for me, would be not being able to hear music. It’s amazing this lady was raising awareness so way back then.
At the Fremont School for the Deaf, there was a large auditorium with speakers both above and below the elevated floor. Turns out? You CAN still “hear” music when deaf… you feel it, instead. Hearing folks do this, too, but we don’t realize we are. No matter how many times I hung out in the auditorium, it always surprised me to realize I recognized the sings by how they felt rather than how they sounded. So hopefully you will still be able to enjoy music! It might be a little different, but it’ll still be there.
I started watching this channel because Ithought dude was wicked hot. I keep watching because the narrative of recognition and compassion is heartening and motivating.
During the Vietnam War, Ms "Hanoi Jane" Fonda went to North Vietnam in 1972, fraternized with the enemy and obviously 'granted of aid and comfort to the enemy'. For this alone she should've been brought up for a treason count. All while our troops were getting killed or horribly wounded in very inhumane ways or were POWs languishing and being tortured in North Vietnamese prisons. There is film of her practicing on a Russian-made anti-aircraft gun that the North Vietnamese were using to kill our pilots. Nice gal! 🙄

How did I never know about this? Wow, it’s so cool! I like how even though you can tell that she doesn’t know much ASL, her ‘voice’ in sign matches her verbal voice and her personality. She’s excited and effusive, and her signs are big and looping and welcoming. I wonder if Jane ever learned any more ASL than this. She’s a great actress, one of my favorites (though my parents strongly dislike her) and this makes me so happy.
Wasn’t aloud to watch her in my house growing up. My father was a Vietnam veteran and was adamant in not supporting anything that she did after her hanoi visit.
I was a kid back then and I remember all this and I did think it was strange when she ended up in a movie about Vietnam Vets returning home from the war and the main character he is in a wheelchair
I remember seeing her do this on stage when she won and I was so impressed that she did it and that she used the platform to make everyone aware of the deaf community.
This brought tears to my eyes... Not only am I hearing impaired, but when there is excess noise ( white noise especially ) my ears begin ringing, and it's very hard to understand spoken word... I remember this speech when she first spoke it...❤ Love and respect!!!
I’m 40 and have seriously begun studying ASL. I work in women’s health, and one of my patients is deaf, but can read lips. She is the sweetest woman and she has an adorable toddler who is hearing but can sign. She is not my first patient who is deaf or hard of hearing. But for some reason, she has become the one who has inspired me to seriously learn this new language at my older age.
. bet ya her kid is smart as a whip as well, keep going. The visit to McDonald's one time was cool as the cashier seemed excited to sign, a teenager...I didn't need to translate for my sister that day..good luck..
@@msharic85Some community colleges offer it for credit and non-credit and/or audit. I signed up for it before transferring to a four year university but sadly had to drop it for a different requirement. I’d still really like to take it in the future.
To bad it was from a USA traitor. No respect for that cruel woman. Least we NEVER forget! Vietnam vets i remember and will never let this woman have any glory in my eyes
She visited the soldiers in the enemies camp in Vietnam, and the soldiers snuck letters to her to give them to their American families back home, and she gave them to the enemies running the camp....and the soldiers were beaten and killed bc of it.
I remember the infamous photograph of her sitting on the anti-aircraft gun, and I certainly remember the "I'm not too fonda Jane" bumper stickers, but I don't recall that she turned over letters from prisoners to their captors. It was my understanding that she brought prisoners' letters home. She did say later that she heartily regretted sitting on that gun, but she also said that the photo had been presented to the public in the wrong context. At any rate, she has apologized for that time and time again.
That story is a very old internet hoax that has already been proven to be 100% false. The servicemen who did meet with her have spoken out over the years to say that none of this happened.
Hanoi Jane. Google it but she betrayed POW captives to their Vietnamese captors and to this day we don't know exactly how many deaths she caused by her actions but it was a lot.
I learned ASL when I had a young lady babysitting my youngest child. She was deaf, her mum thought that I was crazy. But I knew that she wouldn't be on the phone, to busy with tv exc... I knew that she would keep an eye on the baby. She taught me ASL and also my child. She also taught him all the bad signs. 😂
They say, she did it to elevate her career. What alot of people don't know,or are too young to remember is HOW she protested the Vietnam War. she actually traveled to South East Asia, (Vietnam). Went over to the enemies side. She hung out Ho Chi Min. The leader of the Viet Cong. It was all the bad mouthing she did, not to mention how she posed stratteling on the enemy's cannon aimed directly at our guys. Needless to say she became a Traitor in my book, when she announced to the people there. "That she was ashamed to be an American." Hate speech,endangering our American GIs. soldiers of our guyb book)
She is a terrible person! American POWs gave her a note with their names to pass on to our government. She gave those names to the enemy and many died.
Despite the claims of hundreds of Vietnam veterans who maintain they were "there" and affirm that accounts like the "smuggled Social Security number betrayal" are true because they supposedly witnessed them, the fact is that Fonda met only seven American POWs while in North Vietnam: Edison Miller, Walter Wilber, James Padgett, David Wesley Hoffman, Kenneth James Fraser, William G. Byrns, and Edward Elias. None of those men reported her sabotaging their attempts to slip her information about themselves, and anyone other than those seven men who asserts he was "there" and witnessed such a scene is simply not telling the truth. Some of the POWs who actually did meet with Jane Fonda, such as Edison Miller, have spoken out on the record over the years to disclaim the apocryphal stories about her: "The whole [e-mail] story about Jane Fonda is just malarkey," said Edison Miller, 73, of California, a former Marine Corps pilot held more than five years. Miller was among seven POWs who met with Fonda in Hanoi. He said he didn't recall her asking any questions other than about their names, if that. He said that he passed her no piece of paper, and that to his knowledge, no other POW in the group did, despite the e-mail's claims. Col. Larry Carrigan, the U.S. serviceman whose name is invoked in the e-mailed reproduced at the head of this article, has affirmed that he neither claimed nor experienced any of what has been attributed to him, and that he never even met Jane Fonda: "It's a figment of somebody's imagination." said Ret. Col. Larry Carrigan, one of the servicemen mentioned in the 'slips of paper' incident. Carrigan was shot down over North Vietnam in 1967 and did spend time in a POW camp. He has no idea why the story was attributed to him, saying, "I never met Jane Fonda." In 2005, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that Carrigan "is so tired of having to repeat that he wasn't beaten after Fonda's visit and that there were no beating deaths at that time that he won't talk to the media anymore.
I really want to learn how to sign! I djed a wedding last year and the family signed so many of the songs to honor another family member who was hearing impaired. It was a beautiful experience.
That's so sweet of her I love her movies and seriously it's not easy my mom hired a deaf construction worker he was deaf but he built the addition to the house and did a wonderful job his wife helped them with the signing 👍 she said she wanted to marry a deaf guy so she didn't get yelled at but she said she was so wrong haha they were so good together 💕
I'm glad she improved herself after handing notes from POW's to their Vietnamese captors during the Vietnam war. She has a few lives she needs to make up for.
@kekkie72 you need to learn to let that go, she's apologised so many times in the HOW MANY YEARS since it happened? It's in the past & can't be undone, but she's made up for being a young, naive person.
That's a great comfort for the families that lost their people NOT BY THE WAR but an ignorant actress. Some things are unforgivable and time does NOT remove that stain. By your logic we should just get over what the Nazis did. Are YOU truly so naive to believe otherwise? You have a lot to learn. @anitawebster9450
She can never atone for what she did because we will never know the true cost of her traitorous acts. She is no hero. While I can appreciate her efforts, some of her signs are incorrect. She is trying to use Signed English. For example, she signs "over" as in over something instead of "more than" for numbers. It would have been better to have an interpreter.
My mom was an extra in a boxing movie. i forget his name but the short robber from Home Alone, was soooo nice to her. During break he went into the boxing set stands where the extras were and introduced himself. He got to my mom, and one of the officials was trying to brush her hair. (my mom is a light skin african american woman) he took the brush from the person, yelled at them, then asked my mom if she was okay with him brushing her hair. Apparently he was extremely gentle and was able to slick her hair back into a bun!

Hanoi Jane. It's not just a photo. People just don't understand what she did during the war to prisoners of war.

you love her? did you know during vietnam war when she visited the American prisoners that were captured and placed in POW camps, she visited them to show the Japanese soldiers in the camp were treating the prisoners with respect and not torturing them like it was being stated. Right before she left the camp on national tv an American prisoner slipped her a note asking it to be placed in military hands that stated the truth of how they were being treated and tortured. Jane Fonda gave the letter to the Japanese POW warden in charge and after she left with filming crew all the American soldiers were tortured and later few died! Jane Fonda was and will remain in American history a traitor to her own country and was the reason for turning over the letter that could've freed them but killed them! Now you still love this woman only because she showed a few minutes of deaf signs?
She is a traitor!!! She killed those soldiers!!! She was their only hope and she turned on our soldiers!!! How can she be so stupid to turn those papers over to them?? Their blood will always be on her hands!! Hanoi Jane!!!😢😢😢
Bad people can do good things… it doesn’t have to be 100% on way or the other. This clip is of her being compassionate and bringing awareness to the deaf population, and that shouldn’t go unnoticed just because other things she’s done were horrible.
@BunnyGxre Get what you are saying, but realistically, it doesn't work that way. Who cares if Ted Bundy killed women, he made a beautiful speech about a disability. My opinion tho
Yeah man. People love all the good things, and they are good. But they either don't know about or forget about the ULTIMATE BETRAYAL of her country and its people. Sign language doesn't make up for that.

My son and his fiancé have been teaching my grandson sign language since he was a baby, i was so moved and asked why and my daughter in love said that “the number children born deaf is increasing and she wants my grandson to know that everyone is important and be included” i couldn’t help but cry and smile, so glad my son is with someone so compassionate and loving
Daughter-in-love....I've never heard that phrase. She is so lucky to have you as a MIL
I seriously don't understand why sign language isn't taught in schools at the same time as the ABC's. 2 vital life skills in 1 go
Why? Teachers can't even fit reading, writing, and math into the curriculum anymore...
@@SurvivalBetty why? because over half a million people in the US use ASL. Because not everyone is abled. Because children should learn from a young age about disability and respect for those of us who are disabled.
@@SurvivalBettythose are core classes tho? You can't advance to the next grade without taking them cuz they're required
New Jersey elementary schools taught ASL in the 2000s. I learned it in 2nd grade but I can’t say I remember much lol. We even had a performance signing the song “Apples and Bananas”. Though, they don’t teach it at that school anymore I don’t think.
If everyone knew sign language deaf people would never be excluded again...@@SurvivalBetty .
I believe teaching sign language should be part of a school curriculum. It brings my heart so much joy to see this.
Absolutely. It's so very important. This clip warms my heart.
That would be great, and I guarantee kids will eat it up. The younger they start learning the better.
@@kareno8873 it would be popular but unfortunately without as many deaf people to actually use it on it would be pointless and the learning would be lost in a few years.
I really think they should at least offer it when they offer Spanish and French and whatever else. The more people you can communicate with the better! I couldn’t take ASL until college
They taught us the alphabet and some basic ASL in elementary school.
I remember that night, and Jane Fonda inspired so many, including my sister, who was partially deaf in one ear, to want to learn American sign language as well.
Good for her, and thank you for reminding me of that night.
My family along with my son who is nonverbal are learning to sign so we can communicate with him. We found that signing along with speaking with him helped him learn and communicate better. You have no idea what it feels like to see your son who is labeled nonverbal autistic speak with the help of signing. It is such a beautiful language and I can’t wait to learn it fluently.
This warms my heart.
I'm autistic and had selective mutism up until my late teens. I always wished I could learn sign language to communicate but I lived in a small community in a 3rd world country before the internet really became a thing, and so I had no way of learning.
These videos have been rekindling my interest in learning to sign. Thank you for doing that for your son.
I'm getting emotional and I'm not even hard of hearing. This was so sweet
totally normal to get misty over accessibility and human kindness. i’m tearing up too!! ❤
Same like I don't even this inclusiveness but I'm so glad people that need it have it even in unexpected moments ❤
"The invisible handicapped"- I don't know much about the Def community but once while doing missions a young lady did a presentation about her heart for the Def community and how they often feel on the outside and very forgotten. I had never thought of it that way.
Same, she is such a wonderful person who has spent her life not only entertaining us all, but striving to make the world better for us all.
❤
This is the first time I've ever seen someone sign themselves while speaking in public. It's startling in its simplicity, importance and how deserving it is. It's just right. It's rightly just. It's unjust that we don't all do it!
Not everyone knows sing language or cam afford to learn.
Wow, Alaska has a LOT of Deaf people.
I grew up there, and I'm starting to realize, from comments like this.
🤨 are we forgetting that sign language is a language? Like we aren’t expected to learn every language right? And then how is it decided which language we should learn. There are other languages likely more useful to most ppl than sign language as well. I’ve never met someone who was deaf. But I’ve met ppl who speak Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, German, Russian, Hindi, etc
And it’s nice to have translators than to not have them at all right?
@@zellalaing5439you can teach yourself for free with YT videos or even Google can show you how. It's really easy and you can learn at your own speed.
You'll start to notice others eventually as well. It's fascinating and wonderful.
@@Veroniczyeah but here’s the thing. Most people will tell you, if you go to another country you should learn at least a little basic vocabulary, maybe a little of the language rules etc. mainly for communication purposes but it’s also nice to do :) then we have sign language. A lot of countries have their own sign language.
Based off the etiquette for other languages, we should all try to learn at least a lil of our native countries’ signs. Considering they walk around us every day, live in the same country etc. we should be able to communicate with deaf people technically more than foreign countries in their languages. Maybe just a few greetings, small talk, the alphabet can help too tho it’s ofc much longer.
I lost my hearing at 15. But I never learned sign language even when I was placed in specters class and asked that to be what I got out of it. I have gotten by by wear hearing aids. I am 43 with arthritis and many health problems and still don’t know. I am often hospitalized and because I’m not completely deaf I cannot get the compassion and care I need. So I avoid the hospitals and self diagnose. It’s still a struggle. Thank you for the captions.
Hugs
Please stop self diagnosing because you're taking chances on making things worse for yourself.
It would be to your advantage to learn sign because more than likely you will lose more of your hearing as time goes by.
Do it for your own sake.
@@annarodriguez9868 when you have been doing what I have to do for so long you have to learn how to recognize certain things. Cant go running to the ER for everything. Whos going to pay for that? I’m 99% of the time correct before tests can even determine things. Have you ever been hospitalized or on your deathbed and came out worse because of communication problems? Cause I have more than not.
I had the opportunity to serve a mute customer as a regular. At the same place I had a coworker with a deaf child. Now I’m teaching my infant signs and she’s just started using them back, which is so rewarding! She can’t talk, but she can speak. Incredible. It’s so simple to add to your words. I wish this was taught in our public schools. This is heartwarming to see Jane Fonda do this back then. Thank you for sharing!
When she says she wanted to win very much and you realize a big part of that was specifically because she practiced this speech to make sure her signs were good. She wanted to win not to win but to be able to share this moment with the deaf community. She recognized the opportunity that would come with winning and she spent time practicing for it without knowing for sure if she would. I'm not a member of the Deaf community but I try my best to be an ally when and where I can, this seems like an incredible example of being a good ally who intentionally and purposefully and actively invites and welcomes the community in. She kicked open the door and used her platform to start a conversation she knew needed to happen but also didn't overstep to tell the story for the community, she simply opened the door so the community could step in and fill in the rest of the details
Oh my gosh!! I love every word you said, I´m in tears.
This is the best description of allyship I have ever read.
So much better when people describe how to do things right, instead of picking at people for doing them wrong
Well said, man. Well said!! 👏🏻❤️
This definitely brought me to tears. I was deaf the 1st 5 yrs of life and was blessed with hearing after multiple surgeries. Not many get that and remain to be the invisible handicap.

I feel like I have constant water in my middle ear, can't hear hardly anything & ears ring a million times worse than what you'd have happen after going to a loud concert. 67% deaf.
May I ask how you got your hearing back?
I sometimes think my my ear tubes are clogged up. I never have any wax & I can feel fluid moving around & it tickles at times. Did you maybe have clogged tubes? If so do you have a good doc recommendation. They scared me so I don't go without reference if at all possible.
Please go to a doctor. They won't do anything, just help you find what's wrong with your ears. They will only do a diagnosis, no surgery
@@PurpleOuchie I was born with cholesteatoma. At 1st the doctors thought my hearing issue was from my tonsils and adnoids, keep in mind it's 1984 and I'm 3yrs old. When I was 5yrs old they removed the growths and put in tubes for recovery. I also had been working with audiologists and speech pathologists post surgery.
This touched my heart so deeply. My mother-in-law and father-in-law are deaf, and I’ve seen, first hand, the struggles and prejudices that they suffer and I’m so glad to see an artist like Jane Fonda reaching out to them. Class act. 100%!
I love the joy on your face as you watch her. Jane is a force.
She’s a traitor.

@mickidee6714 how can u still support the Vietnam War?
when i was younger i was an extra in one of her movies and she was genuinely so caring and actually talked to a lot of the extras over the course of filming, i love her
You can tell she is so earnest and it's so important to her that she get everything she possibly can out of her platform for this community. For instance when she says she really wanted to win- it's clear this was because she wanted to advocate, but it's a candid thing to say for a celebrity, and you can just tell that the last thing she's thinking about is her own image, her head is 100% in the game.
It's so rare to get these little tells of honesty from celebs. They are normally so so polished
Genuinely caring huh??
Is THAT how she got the name

You do understand that she practiced what she was told for her speech. That's like praising someone's ability to speak Spanish because they practiced a few lines of it for a speech. ☠️🤡☠️🤡☠️
@@cececox6399 the fact is she made an effort so those people could understand her
@@cececox6399 i took a public speaking class in highschool and its not as easy as it seems like it should be.yes it takes rehearsals to get it right but that can be said about literally anything and even then some people are still shit public speakers. Its a skill and im praising her for it. From first hand experience.
This is so awesome to watch. I am so happy that Jane made her speech more accessible.
She did a very good thing, doing this. I think it really helped raise awareness about the barriers faced by deaf people.
As a linguist, I think this was so wonderful of Jane Fonda to include the disabled, back when there was little to no awareness of disability. It's another language we should all be trying to learn.
I'm a Linguist in training 🥹. I'm working on my Associates degree with an introduction to Linguistics, but I decided to work towards my Master's degree in this field. I learned the alphabet of sign in elementary from this Alphabet's of the world book I found in my school library in the 6th grade. I wanted to learn sign in high school just because I saw a deaf girl desperately searching for help in sign but nobody could communicate with her. That touched my heart. I wish I never got distracted by life, but I'm following my soul's guide today.
You're so right
I love how she has a slower pace with her speech so she can sign it out thoroughly, she definitely deserves this!!
She is SO AWESOME. I love her!
I know no deaf person in my close Family or neigborhood, and i am so thankful for all of my senses. She is the best ! That was so thoughtful❤

@@amyw7200I completely understand. How ppl can elevate her is beyond me. She is a traitor.
@@amyw7200 Why? She spoke out against war and that is great. The US should not be involved in everybody's business.
I speak five languages, English,French, German, Danish, Swahili and my native Language Luo and I recently met this lovely 3 year old at the playground with her parents,all 3 deaf.
She immediately clicked with my son and I and it made me sad that with all these languages I speak I couldn't communicate with them.
It was such an eye opening experience that's gotten me more aware of how much people with hearing loss/deaf are intentionally cast aside by the hearing world .
Now I'm on my journey of learning sign language as a 6th language.
I hope more people can do this.
This was beautiful to watch ❤
That is beautiful.
Aw 🥰 I’m sure one day when you get to tell them that, they’ll be so touched that you went out of your way to learn their language as your 6th, just to be able to communicate and connect better. You’re awesome, and knowing so many languages is seriously impressive!! 💖
It’s so awesome that your son was able to communicate with the little girl. So yeah mom you have to be on the same level as them. Happy learning ❤

The meaning is understood but her signing is equivalent to someone who just learned a little English for a speech and although we get the message the words aren’t all accurate.
So if you learned more from her than your ASL class, or lessen, then that’s very bad.
@@CatalleyaStorm That must be why she said she was signing only "part of" what she was saying. I think the captions cut out at that bit though? I can't sign or understand sign, but I came to the comments to underatand better ehat she meant by "part of". Learning a lot :p

I’m not deaf but I have hearing loss and use hearing aids. As time goes on, it gets harder for me to understand words through the noise. I’m learning sign language because inevitably, one day I’ll need it and that scares me.
What would be the hardest for me, would be not being able to hear music.
It’s amazing this lady was raising awareness so way back then.
At the Fremont School for the Deaf, there was a large auditorium with speakers both above and below the elevated floor. Turns out? You CAN still “hear” music when deaf… you feel it, instead. Hearing folks do this, too, but we don’t realize we are. No matter how many times I hung out in the auditorium, it always surprised me to realize I recognized the sings by how they felt rather than how they sounded. So hopefully you will still be able to enjoy music! It might be a little different, but it’ll still be there.

During the Vietnam War, Ms "Hanoi Jane" Fonda went to North Vietnam in 1972, fraternized with the enemy and obviously 'granted of aid and comfort to the enemy'. For this alone she should've been brought up for a treason count. All while our troops were getting killed or horribly wounded in very inhumane ways or were POWs languishing and being tortured in North Vietnamese prisons. There is film of her practicing on a Russian-made anti-aircraft gun that the North Vietnamese were using to kill our pilots.
Nice gal! 🙄
Thank you for saying this. I agree she should be in jail. The Vietnam veterans have a soft spot in my heart.
Let it go soldier. It’s been over 50 years.

How did I never know about this? Wow, it’s so cool!
I like how even though you can tell that she doesn’t know much ASL, her ‘voice’ in sign matches her verbal voice and her personality.
She’s excited and effusive, and her signs are big and looping and welcoming.
I wonder if Jane ever learned any more ASL than this.
She’s a great actress, one of my favorites (though my parents strongly dislike her) and this makes me so happy.
Legend! ❤
Brilliant person ❤
She ignored and betrayed American prisoners of war in Vietnam. Evil
Wasn’t aloud to watch her in my house growing up. My father was a Vietnam veteran and was adamant in not supporting anything that she did after her hanoi visit.
Your dad was right. Too bad she couldn't care about our soldiers in Vietnam. She is a traitor@
Yes! Disgusting woman!
I was a kid back then and I remember all this and I did think it was strange when she ended up in a movie about Vietnam Vets returning home from the war and the main character he is in a wheelchair
My household was the same. I love her now
She didn't do anything. Conspiracy didn't begin with Facebook 😂
I remember seeing her do this on stage when she won and I was so impressed that she did it and that she used the platform to make everyone aware of the deaf community.
This brought tears to my eyes...
Not only am I hearing impaired, but when there is excess noise ( white noise especially ) my ears begin ringing, and it's very hard to understand spoken word...
I remember this speech when she first spoke it...❤
Love and respect!!!
I’m 40 and have seriously begun studying ASL. I work in women’s health, and one of my patients is deaf, but can read lips. She is the sweetest woman and she has an adorable toddler who is hearing but can sign. She is not my first patient who is deaf or hard of hearing. But for some reason, she has become the one who has inspired me to seriously learn this new language at my older age.
. bet ya her kid is smart as a whip as well, keep going. The visit to McDonald's one time was cool as the cashier seemed excited to sign, a teenager...I didn't need to translate for my sister that day..good luck..
May I ask where/how you are learning ASL?
@@msharic85Some community colleges offer it for credit and non-credit and/or audit. I signed up for it before transferring to a four year university but sadly had to drop it for a different requirement. I’d still really like to take it in the future.
To bad it was from a USA traitor. No respect for that cruel woman. Least we NEVER forget! Vietnam vets i remember and will never let this woman have any glory in my eyes
i love her so much.. i only knew her from grace and frankie and she was amazing!! shes so beautiful as always
She visited the soldiers in the enemies camp in Vietnam, and the soldiers snuck letters to her to give them to their American families back home, and she gave them to the enemies running the camp....and the soldiers were beaten and killed bc of it.
I remember the infamous photograph of her sitting on the anti-aircraft gun, and I certainly remember the "I'm not too fonda Jane" bumper stickers, but I don't recall that she turned over letters from prisoners to their captors. It was my understanding that she brought prisoners' letters home. She did say later that she heartily regretted sitting on that gun, but she also said that the photo had been presented to the public in the wrong context. At any rate, she has apologized for that time and time again.
That story is a very old internet hoax that has already been proven to be 100% false. The servicemen who did meet with her have spoken out over the years to say that none of this happened.
That was debunked decades ago
she's so proud of coming home, yet she made sure that so many of our soldiers Didn't Come Home from Vietnam.
What do you mean?
Hanoi Jane. Google it but she betrayed POW captives to their Vietnamese captors and to this day we don't know exactly how many deaths she caused by her actions but it was a lot.

People seem to forget her history
They say, she did it to elevate her career. What alot of people don't know,or are too young to remember is HOW she protested the Vietnam War. she actually traveled to South East Asia, (Vietnam). Went over to the enemies side. She hung out Ho Chi Min. The leader of the Viet Cong. It was all the bad mouthing she did, not to mention how she posed stratteling on the enemy's cannon aimed directly at our guys. Needless to say she became a Traitor in my book, when she announced to the people there. "That she was ashamed to be an American." Hate speech,endangering our American GIs. soldiers
of our guyb
book)
She is a terrible person! American POWs gave her a note with their names to pass on to our government. She gave those names to the enemy and many died.
Despite the claims of hundreds of Vietnam veterans who maintain they were "there" and affirm that accounts like the "smuggled Social Security number betrayal" are true because they supposedly witnessed them, the fact is that Fonda met only seven American POWs while in North Vietnam: Edison Miller, Walter Wilber, James Padgett, David Wesley Hoffman, Kenneth James Fraser, William G. Byrns, and Edward Elias. None of those men reported her sabotaging their attempts to slip her information about themselves, and anyone other than those seven men who asserts he was "there" and witnessed such a scene is simply not telling the truth.
Some of the POWs who actually did meet with Jane Fonda, such as Edison Miller, have spoken out on the record over the years to disclaim the apocryphal stories about her:
"The whole [e-mail] story about Jane Fonda is just malarkey," said Edison Miller, 73, of California, a former Marine Corps pilot held more than five years. Miller was among seven POWs who met with Fonda in Hanoi. He said he didn't recall her asking any questions other than about their names, if that. He said that he passed her no piece of paper, and that to his knowledge, no other POW in the group did, despite the e-mail's claims.
Col. Larry Carrigan, the U.S. serviceman whose name is invoked in the e-mailed reproduced at the head of this article, has affirmed that he neither claimed nor experienced any of what has been attributed to him, and that he never even met Jane Fonda:
"It's a figment of somebody's imagination." said Ret. Col. Larry Carrigan, one of the servicemen mentioned in the 'slips of paper' incident. Carrigan was shot down over North Vietnam in 1967 and did spend time in a POW camp. He has no idea why the story was attributed to him, saying, "I never met Jane Fonda." In 2005, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that Carrigan "is so tired of having to repeat that he wasn't beaten after Fonda's visit and that there were no beating deaths at that time that he won't talk to the media anymore.

She can never atone for what she did because we will never know the true cost of her traitorous acts. She is no hero.
While I can appreciate her efforts, some of her signs are incorrect. She is trying to use Signed English. For example, she signs "over" as in over something instead of "more than" for numbers. It would have been better to have an interpreter.

My eldest son is on the spectrum he is 22 and has always said that they should be teaching sign language in nurseries and school,couldn’t agree more, it is shocking that they don’t…
Hanoi Jane. It's not just a photo. People just don't understand what she did during the war to prisoners of war. She was visiting a pow camp and met with pows who gave her notes secretly and she gave those notes to the enemy and several pows were tortured and killed because of her actions. LOOK IT UP. disgusting woman. She has so many fooled.
I just love her❤
I have always loved her.
A good diversion from remembering Hanoi Jane and the movie associated with THE WAR.
That's all I see. A diversion of her spitting on handicapped vets coming home.
@@DG-kq8zf Thank you!
Get over it 🙄 she’s apologized about a billion times
Despite the claims of hundreds of Vietnam veterans who maintain they were "there" and affirm that accounts like the "smuggled Social Security number betrayal" are true because they supposedly witnessed them, the fact is that Fonda met only seven American POWs while in North Vietnam: Edison Miller, Walter Wilber, James Padgett, David Wesley Hoffman, Kenneth James Fraser, William G. Byrns, and Edward Elias. None of those men reported her sabotaging their attempts to slip her information about themselves, and anyone other than those seven men who asserts he was "there" and witnessed such a scene is simply not telling the truth.
Some of the POWs who actually did meet with Jane Fonda, such as Edison Miller, have spoken out on the record over the years to disclaim the apocryphal stories about her:
"The whole [e-mail] story about Jane Fonda is just malarkey," said Edison Miller, 73, of California, a former Marine Corps pilot held more than five years. Miller was among seven POWs who met with Fonda in Hanoi. He said he didn't recall her asking any questions other than about their names, if that. He said that he passed her no piece of paper, and that to his knowledge, no other POW in the group did, despite the e-mail's claims.
Col. Larry Carrigan, the U.S. serviceman whose name is invoked in the e-mailed reproduced at the head of this article, has affirmed that he neither claimed nor experienced any of what has been attributed to him, and that he never even met Jane Fonda:
"It's a figment of somebody's imagination." said Ret. Col. Larry Carrigan, one of the servicemen mentioned in the 'slips of paper' incident. Carrigan was shot down over North Vietnam in 1967 and did spend time in a POW camp. He has no idea why the story was attributed to him, saying, "I never met Jane Fonda." In 2005, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that Carrigan "is so tired of having to repeat that he wasn't beaten after Fonda's visit and that there were no beating deaths at that time that he won't talk to the media anymore.
she has been really open about that horrific mistake.
shes apologised for it. what else should she do atp.
She's disgusting she was so awful to those Vietnam vets.After the war she wrote in on a tank that was on our side🤨
Wow!! Brillant!! What a woman!!! ❤
Thank you. ❤
you love her? did you know during vietnam war when she visited the American prisoners that were captured and placed in POW camps, she visited them to show the Japanese soldiers in the camp were treating the prisoners with respect and not torturing them like it was being stated. Right before she left the camp on national tv an American prisoner slipped her a note asking it to be placed in military hands that stated the truth of how they were being treated and tortured. Jane Fonda gave the letter to the Japanese POW warden in charge and after she left with filming crew all the American soldiers were tortured and later few died! Jane Fonda was and will remain in American history a traitor to her own country and was the reason for turning over the letter that could've freed them but killed them! Now you still love this woman only because she showed a few minutes of deaf signs?
This is what I came looking for
She is a traitor!!!
She killed those soldiers!!!
She was their only hope and she turned on our soldiers!!!
How can she be so stupid to turn those papers over to them??
Their blood will always be on her hands!!
Hanoi Jane!!!😢😢😢
You’ve got the wrong country there but basically the right sequence of events.
Bad people can do good things… it doesn’t have to be 100% on way or the other. This clip is of her being compassionate and bringing awareness to the deaf population, and that shouldn’t go unnoticed just because other things she’s done were horrible.
@BunnyGxre Get what you are saying, but realistically, it doesn't work that way. Who cares if Ted Bundy killed women, he made a beautiful speech about a disability. My opinion tho
Hanoi Jane's one and only contribution to society.
Oh my word! How amazing is this moment ❤
Jane Fonda is so freaking awesome! Still is ❤
Hanoi Jane didn't share her traitorous deeds. Shame on her!
Yeah man. People love all the good things, and they are good. But they either don't know about or forget about the ULTIMATE BETRAYAL of her country and its people. Sign language doesn't make up for that.
