Five short autobiographies in two languages. 4. Maria Mertzani moved from Greece to study sign language in the UK. The ways different sign languages vary from language to language has much to say about how the world speaks. In Bristol now Maria still signs in Greek but also in British sign language. She also teaches spoken Greek to the Greek children of immigrant families and also to British adults in the UK. She reflects on the routes into and out of language and her own experiences along the way. Producer: Tim Dee.
