How do people who are born deaf as in not hearing learn sign language?
Hannahst
I'm not deaf, but I work at a school in Mexico teaching sign language. Most of my students were born deaf, or lost their hearing at a very young age. The way we teach them here is by starting with simple concrete objects. You point at a tree, then show them the sign for tree. Or you point at the color red and show them the sign for the word red. Once they start understanding that everything has a sign, they'll start asking you about signs. After awhile you teach them the alphabet and numbers, and go from there.

Are children born with the ability to learn or is that provided by you the?
To answer this philosophically... Some people believe that the ability to learn is innate, which means that concepts such as maths, language etc. are already present in you before you're born. So a Rationalist would say that you are born with the ability to learn, perhaps even before you are born. The other side of this argument, the empiricists believe that there are no innate ideas and that your mind is born as a blank slate with no knowledge or ideas. So you learn from experience.

Nobody donates a language. A language is either inherited of acquired. A Filipino born in another country can learn to speak the language of the country where he or she is born and not learn to speak Filipino. A concrete example is in the USA. There are many Filipinos who are born in the USA whose parents are from the Philippines but can only speak English. Therefore Filipinos inherited and acquire to speak Filipino since we all learn at the very early age the Filipino language.
