Lady Gaga to learn sign language

The Judas hitmaker - who sings some of her new album Born This Way in Spanish and German - is set to have American Sign Language lessons with a private tutor after seeing YouTube videos of her deaf fans signing along to her tracks.

A source told The Sun newspaper:

"Now she wants to make sure her deaf fans feel included too. Once she's mastered sign language she'll be able to respond to the videos that are online, and include signing in future live tours."

The 25-year-old singer has previously played shows with a sign language expert interpreting lyrics for her deaf fans, and last year at a Washington concert she announced her admiration for the language.

She said: "I wish I spoke your language. That's really fucking beautiful. Everybody speaks the language of love and it's so beautiful that music brings everyone together."
