Not in Norway!
I know what you mean, but that does not mean everyone should be able to "speak" signlanguage. I don't expect Norwegians to learn Dutch. I will do my best to speak Norwegian. And it is difficult for me, and tiresome. I have to ask them to repeat what they say, or I guess, or I don't get it and ignore it. And when I'm tired I will not be able to follow a conversation. (Which I can in English.)
So, it takes an effort. Not as much as lipreading in combination with bad hearing, but still, I will have to make the effort.
I am the minority in this country.
