Deaf lipreaders can misunderstand shop assistants. In this picture a lady learns in her receipt that the handbag in the sale was actually £50.00 & not £15.00.
Words such as ‘fifty’ & ‘fifteen’ have similar lip shapes. These are examples of #homophenes

Tips for communicating with someone who lipreads. 1. Don’t shout or exaggerate your words, speak naturally. 2. Make sure the other person can see you well. Don't sit with your back to a light source and don't cover your mouth. 3. Find other ways of saying what you want to say rather than repeating. 4. When in a group setting, speak one at a time. 5. Be patient, it does matter.

French does have a few proverbs about lips, silence & speech that can be adapted beautifully for #LipreadingAwarenessWeek
“Les yeux sont le miroir de l’âme” (the eyes are the mirror of the soul)…just as lipreading uses the power of sight to access words.

The French proverb, “lire les lèvres, c’est entendre avec les yeux…” translates as “…to read lips is to hear with the eyes…”
I think this is a succinct representation of lipreader friendship.
