Speaking English – Talking about disability
Can I use the word “retard” when talking about someone with a disability or is this an unacceptable term? What is the difference between “visually impaired” and “blind”? Should I say someone is “handicapped” or “disabled”? This lesson will teach you vocabulary for talking about disability. It will also teach you words that you should avoid. This is not just a vocabulary lesson; you’ll also learn about North American culture.Related Lessons

Talking about disabilities is a real issue. So, it is important to know how to address people who suffer from a permanent disability.
Interesting lesson with very illustrative examples.

Hi Ms.Emma

The pronounce of the word “deaf” seems a lot with “death”… A few months ago I was playing a game and the character said “I’m blind not deaf”. I’ve been thinking he was saying death but is deaf… O.O
It’s very useful lesson!

Hi Najma,
My response to your question was accidently placed below Youssef Morrocco’s question. Please look there.
very useful lesson as usual
thanks so much!
Lounis
I scored 4 out of 4.that means I’m on the right way to learn english;I’m very happy for reaching this level.I know It’s not the end of the road.but also It’s not the starting of the road.thanks a lot Emma;pleas can I know your openion.
Well done Youssef! I think what you have written is a good reminder for everyone. Learning English is a journey. Everyday, you advance a little and know slightly more than you did before.
Emma, what is the difference between slightly an lightly?
Can I use both?
emma live is a journey
I do not know when i like you & your lesson as from. Emma.
Thank you
I believe most of the teachers on the site are Canadian. In Canada, there are multiple accents. In general, people west of Quebec have a similar accent, while people from the East Coast of Canada share a slightly different accent.
Canadians have a very similar accent to some American states. Often, when I meet an American, I don’t notice a lot of differences in the way we talk.
Some pronunciations are different though, like ‘about’. Canadians are also famous for saying ‘eh?’.
Hi, I like your accent. I understand you very well. I’m from Europe and I’ve been learnig British English in my language course. :)
Best wishes from Poland (Cracow)!
hey guys ; i am one of the student who are intrested in learning english language . and i would be happy if i resive any request from : this is my facebook’s name ( wacky man )
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh////i learned a lot
i perfectly answered the Quiz
Really useful lesson! Thank you very much!
Thanks a lot.
what’s the difference between “the deaf” and “people who are deaf”? why the first is offensive and the second is correct?
Hi Ivan,
In general, it is better to use what is known as people-first language. People with disabilities want to be identified as people first. If we say the Deaf, we are identifying these people only by their disability. Some think this is dehumanizing.
There is a good wikipedia article on this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People-first_language
Very interesting comment Emma! great lesson!
Hello Emma! Thank you for the lesson. I think it is pity that we don’t use all these “unacceptable words”. What’s wrong with the word – lame, or disabled, or homo, or black-skinned. In the near future we won’t say – father or mother because people with non traditional orientation very offensive. You will have to say – parent (for mother) and parent (for dad)… This “political correctness” goes to nowhere. We only do the language we speak insipid. The most important thing is to set up comfortable living conditions for disabled people, but not by changing the words’ meaning.
Okay, but this lesson is teaching people the words because that is what is generally acceptable now in North America. Once you know what is expected, you can choose to use whichever words you want.
Why in modern English people are ashamed using traditional English words. For example lame or dumb? Instead of that they constantly create some Latin origin senseless terms like mobility disability and non-vocal?
Ivan,
I’m glad you’re questioning this. There are many different opinions on these issues and opinions differ as to what is the best way to speak about disability.
The rationale behind changing the words we use is that words influence our thoughts. As our views on the world change, so does the language we use to describe it.
The word dumb has a very negative meaning. For example, stupid is a synonym of dumb. If we describe people who can’t speak as dumb, we are insulting their intellect. For instance, although Helen Keller couldn’t speak, she was a very intelligent woman.
On the other hand, some people feel that North American society is too sensitive on these issues and that we shouldn’t have to be so careful with our words.
Regardless of what you believe, it’s important to know that if you use the wrong words, there may be consequences, especially in the workplace.
thank you so much u are a very nice teacher
Great lesson!It’s really important learn it, cause are different cultures and impressions.
thank u
Thank you! Apart of beautiful, you are a great teacher…

Thank you for excellent explanation of the lesson.
thank you very much .. really its very useful lesson and very important
Thank you for your comments everyone. I know this topic isn’t usually discussed in ESL classes. I’d be interested to know if there are specific words you use to talk about disability in your culture. Do you have to be careful with the words you use or are people from your culture less sensitive when talking about disability?
Hi Emma. Im mexican. In our country the use of these words have changed with the time as well. Now there are more respect with people with disbility, however, there are people who still continue using offensive words, like invalid,fo example. Your lesson is great and I really apreciate that people like you make this for ESL. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for your comment Isidro. It’s unfortunae, but many people here continue to use offensive language when talking about disabilities.
*unfortunate
Hi Emma
…It’s curios that you have chosen this topic lesson, maybe are you directly involved? However it makes you much honor.
bye
very important and great lesson, thank you.
Hi Ms.Emma- Whow do you pronounce ABOUT in Canadian pronunciations?–What is the meaning of “EH” in canada? THANKS
Ronnie has a great new lesson on some language unique to Canada. She covers ‘eh’ in it.
Hi Emma
This topic you taught to us is very important but it was very confused
Hi Crebio,
What exactly confused you? Maybe I could explain something clearer?
Thanks Emma, you explained it very clearly. I really like this site. You all are expert in teaching English. Thanks for sharing your knowledge..^_^

Hello Emma,
Thank you for your good job. You do very well. Could I be informed that how many lessons are better to watch and please direct me that where will be the best point of starting I mean from which lesson I can start, and continuously follow which way?
To modify better how many lessons could be better to watch daily? Thanks I missed daily in the previous comment.

Map direction

Dear Emma, I suppose you are a professional teacher. That means you have studied pedagogue. Am I am right? All your lessons are really great. Take care Hoppel
Hi Hoppel,

Hi Mila,
Please see my video on most and almost. After watching it, if you still have questions, please post them there.
excellent
Hi Emma….
How are you??
It’s your great lesson….
okay take care.
Hi Emma,
I’ve understood almost all about this topic, except “to have a learning disability”.
Please, would U like to tell me the exact meaning? So that I can understand what happens to Tom Cruise.
By the way, I’d like to express how much I really, really love this website. I found EngVid.com a few months ago and have already learned a lot by your amazing method of teaching: useful, short and interesting topics (not boring), clear and nice teachers…
Thanks a lot EngVid Team.
Hi Juju,
Thank you for your comments. A learning disability is a disability that makes learning difficult in some way. Usually it is because of a difference in the way a brain processes information.
For example, Tom Cruise has dyslexia, a type of learning disability. This type of disability makes it difficult to read because the brain has trouble recognizing letters and symbols. I heard in Tom Cruise’s case, he gets people to read him his lines.
Thank you that was really helpful
Happy women’s day

thank u so much teacher :)
hello speaking of developmentally disabled.what’s the difference between
learning disability and intellectual
disability?could be math,language,biology.
Hi Dan,
There is a difference between an intellectual disability and a learning disability.
An intellectual disability refers to an inability to learn certain skills or tasks. There is a gradient. Some people have mild intellectual disabilities, while others have severe ones.
On the other hand, a learning disability refers to someone who has obstacles to learning certain things but has the ability to do so.

Thanks Ronnie for ur good explanation on interview skills…as well on english teachings….
Thank you for the lesson, now I will be able not to offend people who have a disability.
Hello Emma, thank you very much indeed for doing this video! I would like to ask you to make a video explaining the inversion with negative adverbs. :)
Hello, Emma! I have a question. Will be offensive to say “He is visually challenged”? Thank you.
Hi Mirimarini,
I haven’t heard people use this expression before. I don’t think it is very common. When I looked the word up in a guide book, the book said that people may find it offensive.
Again, what some people find offensive, others may find acceptable. It often depends on the person.

Hi Emma … thanks you for your class. I want ask you a question. I know a pretty song of Reo Speedwagon called “take it on the run” talked about the singer’s girlfriend who some people seen leaving with other boy …..Have you ever heard it? Well: What is the meaning of “take it on the run” in this case?
I’m not exactly sure. This is not a common expression, but from what I gather, I think it means ‘to hit the road’ or leave town.
Thanks for the lesson. I learned a lot.
Thank you Very much , it really a good lesson , appreciate your great effort.
thanks teacher
Hi Emma ,,thanks for all you lessons.I would like to learn about sayings………thanks..
thank’s Emma
emma what is the difference b/w mental illness and intellectual disability??does’nt these both have a same meaning??
Good. This is what I was looking for.
In Russian language we do not have special rules for naming disabled people. Still we try to say it in a mild way
Your lesson is excellent! Congrats!
My doubt is: can the word maimed have non-offensive meaning in another context?
For example:
The surfer had his left hand maimed when the shark bit it.
or
He was maimed during the WW1.
Hi Emma!
Thank you for such a brilliant video! This is the best video i’ve watched on your site ever! You don’t get to learn such things everyday, I totally appreciate your effort and time you’ve spent preparing for that video. I have a request for you; would you please make a video about a normal in-class conversation; things like how to ask the teacher about the material included on an exam and so on. I’ve googled such type of conversations but i couldn’t find any. One more thing please, i would highly appreciated if you could make a video on how to ask the barber or the hairdresser for a certain haircut, i know that haircut styles are endless, but at least teach us the basics.
Thank you very much.
Osama
PS; you’re a celebrity in my university in Jordan; all English majors just love you, especially after your video on disability!
Thank you for your kind words and video suggestions!

Hi Emma,
Yes, today we talked about a very important topic.
Thank you very much.
It’s very organized lecture~
I Really appreciate you~
Hi Emma, in the sentence “Some people can not hear a thing, they are born deaf” is considered offensive if I say “can not hear at all” instead of “can not hear a thing”. Thanks. Great site, great teachers, great human beings.
You are a very good teacher.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the video-lesson, I really appreciate it and learnt a lot because this kind of vocabulary it’s difficult to find in the course texts. By the way STONE DEAF is a word I recently read in a novel.

Hi there Emma. I´m wondering if it´s true that the Canadians are particularly afraid of the dark lol!jk.I point this out because I watched not so long ago on an episode of the sitcom “How I met your mother” how some Americans at a bar mocked at the Canadian girl(Robin) saying that :) It was kind of funny.Regards.
Thank you Emma, I won’t hurt any person with my English…. or bad expressions, but sometimes, as a beginner, it is not easy to find the right word. Regards
It is a great lesson with taboo words. As a foreigner, we often learn any wrong or rude English expressions from the massmedia such as TV, Movies, Radio and even from songs. Thank you for your great teaching. I will be careful to use expressions with diability. Cheers!
great lesson from great teacher,thanks
it’s really useful. thank you so much . very important to me

Hello Emma.I am Ruslan. I am from Ukraine. I like your lessons. All they are very useful but unfortunatelly you often speak very very very fast. Could you speak a little bit slowly? I think it would be easier to understand of what you speak for many people who learn English on engvid.com

Hi Emma your lessons are the best but need more explanations, and more examples also time is very short
I want to ask you can I?
1. How can I take an exam in IELT or TOFEL by INTERNET?
2.And how can I give payment?
