Jul 13, 2020 by apost team

In this incredibly sweet video from this summer, an 8-year-old girl named Tallulah from Ashton-Under-Lyne, in Greater Manchester, learned sign language to greet her deaf delivery driver, Tim Joseph. Amy Roberts, Tallulah's mother, captured the beautiful exchange on video.

Globally, many countries offer lessons for sign language as a form of further education. However, in the United States and the United Kingdom, learning sign language is not mandatory for a child's education. In order to raise awareness and help deaf children, as the BBC reports, there are even some who advocate that sign language should be mandatory for elementary school students. But as of now, sign language remains undertaught in elementary schools around the world.

However, a little girl from the United Kingdom decided to change all this and learn sign language anyway. Tallulah, an 8-year-old child from Greater Manchester, started to learn British Sign Language by herself to communicate with a delivery driver, according to Metro.

It was after some days that Tallulah learned something surprising about Tim, their regular delivery driver. During the lockdown, Tim started to deliver parcels to Amy's house once a week. Thus, Tallulah and her family came to be familiar with their usual delivery man. Eventually, Tallulah realized that their usual delivery man was completely deaf.

She decided to study some sign languages on her own time so that she could communicate with Tim a bit easier. One day, as Tim was doing his usual job, Tallulah surprised him with a newly learned skill. According to Metro, Tallulah signed "have a good day" to Tim when he stopped by her house to make a delivery.

This act has enabled the two to form a very strong friendship over the past few weeks. In a short clip from Tallulah's mother, posted on Twitter, Tim looks overjoyed as Tallulah signs a message. After a moment, Tim signs back to her, teaching her how to sign "good morning, have a good day."

After sharing the clip, the video has received more than nine million views and numerous positive responses.
