Hey there, so glad you're able to hear again. My question is: what did you do to communicate while you were deaf? Did you learn sign language, learn to read lips, etc?

I'd always imagined that reading lips is immensely difficult. I think I remember trying it once by plugging my ears and trying to decipher what my Nonna was saying. Mind you, it was Italian so it might have made a difference.

Every letter is pronounced, but typically, Italians speak very, very quickly.

Parlo dialetto calabrese, a volte è un problema di parlare con persone che parlano italiano corretto.

hahaha, penso che questa è la frase standard che ogni nonna conosce. E 'più o meno universale.

Edit: put this into proper Italian through translation, because I speak dialect
