Moja Prva Znakovnica - den första ordboken på kroatiskt teckenspråk

Berättelse

Why did we launch the “Moja Prva Znakovnica” campaign?

90 – 95% of deaf children are born into hearing families.

The fact is that in families where there is one deaf member, they are marginalized. No matter how much the whole family loves them, they remain excluded from communication. Lip reading is a skill that is learned and developed, and that only comes when you learn the Croatian language – we can’t lip-read a language we don’t know.

The fact is that exposing deaf children to sign language is to their benefit – the child is given a tool for expression, the parents a tool for understanding and communication, and an environment in which the child feels accepted and understood is created from the first day.

With this project, we spread awareness about the Deaf community and sign language, we promote a view of the world that is different, but equally valuable.

In addition, the few HZJ courses that exist are held only in the largest Croatian cities, which means that they are not equally accessible to everyone.

Also, sign language learning materials are still not standardized or sufficiently developed and as such are not in line with the needs of a community of over 14,000 people.

Who is the team behind Moja Prva Znakovnica?

The team members are Dorijana, Nives, and Maja – professional translators and educators. Although hearing, they grew up in deaf families and began to sign before they spoke. Aware of the potential and value of both worlds, they understand the problem of the lack of material and available information on this social topic.

They are part of Croatian Association of Sign Language Interpreters, that cover some major linguistic topics such as w preservation of HZJ, the creation of educational materials, the implementation of education, and the development of the profession of sign language interpreters.

The dictionary will be created in collaboration with linguists that are experts in language acquisition, choosing material according to the age of acquisition. Besides words, the most frequently used phrases, terms, and sentences for everyday communication will be included.

How will Moja Prva Znakovnica look like?

Moja Prva Znakovnica will be available on the website that we will create with the funds from the campaign. It will contain a list of terms, phrases, and sentences that can be explored using a simple search engine. Conversely to all materials produced so far, for example on YouTube, this will be the first real Croatian sign language dictionary modeled after other already existing dictionaries of Swedish, British, or Australian sign language.

The biggest advantage of Moja Prva Znakovnica is that it is a video education where the process of signing will be visible and understandable. In addition to the visual display itself, additional clarification will be given in text form – instructions on how to perform the sign and all other information that facilitates independent learning.
