Not only is a useful for them to be able to communicate with each other because they’re not able to hear, but they are also able to use it in environments to communicate privately when there is a roomful of people (provided, of course, nobody else knows how to sign).
Learning Sign Language Can Open Doors For You
There are many different reasons why someone would want to learn how to speak another language.

If you can think of it as expressing your language in a different way it becomes easier to see how you can learn how to effectively communicate using sign language.
