My perspective of the show switched at birth is that i was impressed! I only watched one episode so I was kind of lost on what was really going on up until then; but the deaf individuals and the non-deaf individuals were both signing while communicating, and I thought that was cool. There's a lot of signs that look very easy while these characters are conversing with each other. They definatly make it look easy. It kind of threw me off when one of the deaf characters could understand what someone else was saying even though the other individual wasn't signing to her. I didn't know if maybe she was just half way deaf or maybe she was an expert at reading lips.Also, in class we are learning to sign and not use our voice while signing, whereas if I were to sign to a deaf person I think I would also use my voice like they do in the show; I wonder is that disrespectful at all, to talk while signing to a deaf individual? Overall I really enjoyed the show I will definatly watch more episodes.
