Many years ago I attended a School for The Deaf to learn British Sign Language. |

I don't think it would be very easy to learn it at home alone. A lot of it relies not just on watching the lip formations but the body language as well. In some areas they do run classes. If there is one in your area you could approach the local Deaf and hard of hearing. association. If your job involves talking to people who are hard of hearing, or deaf (two entirely different conditions), as well as learning to lip read, one good tip is to never cover your mouth (with whatever you have in your hand, paper, cup etc) and speak directly to them, clearly forming the words. |

I think most of us can lipread to a certain extent without really being aware of it - I know that if I am speaking to someone who is not too close and I don't have my specs on, I find it difficult to understand, but with my specs on I have no problem |

The thing is I know I subconsciously lip read when in groups of people etc. So i know I do it. However I can never work out what the professional lip speakers are saying when they are on news programmes. |
