Hi Arden, I completely agree with you. I think it's amazing that MJ is fluent in three language; a Deaf individual being able to speak two languages, fluently, how cool is that? I think MJ is just a great example of how being deaf isn't a handicap. She’s able to do something that many hearing people aren’t able to do. The majority of hearing people don’t speak three languages. I think you bring up a good question Arden. I also wonder if her experience was different being that she was born with some hearing. In a way I think it would be easier for her, being that she wasn’t so cultural shocked, since she heard all of the sounds before.
