How does ted know sign language

Artist and TED Fellow Christine Sun Kim was born deaf, and she was taught to believe that sound wasn't a part of her life, that it was a hearing person's thing.

Ted shows up at the Farhampton Inn, and gives Robin a picture of the gang. Ted reveals to Lily, Barney, and then Robin that he is moving to Chicago.

Ted of is the one narrating the entire series and telling the main plot to his kids of how he met their mother. It was revealed in Wait For It that the kids already knew the short version of how their parents met. The detailed story seems to be his way of telling the kids how much Robin has meant to him over the years. Future Ted is voiced by Bob Saget.

Ted can be easily described as a hopeless romantic, being a strong believer in destiny and constantly searches for his soul mate believing that fate will eventually cause their meeting.

This has led to Ted believing that most of the women he has had relationships with could be "The One" and this has also led to many failed relationships, perhaps his most notable one being with Robin. Ted's belief in finding "The One" can often come across as being hopeless and even idiotic. He has believed that most women he has gone out with he was destined to be with while almost every single one, led to bitter disappointment yet he never seems to learn from these mistakes.

He always goes into a relationship full of optimism that this one will be different than the last only to have this belief destroyed and crushed. These constant attempts to find "The One" for him often result in the annoyance of the rest of the group and can make Ted look incredibly stupid. For example, in the case of Jeanette Peterson , Ted constantly tried to justify the woman's blatant attempts of stalking him as being romantic, a fact everyone told him was obviously false.

Another example of Ted's short-sightedness when it comes to relationships would be his relationship with Zoey , who was protesting the destruction of a building to make way for Ted's first major architecture achievement. This led to her sabotaging his career, manipulating him, arguing with him and generally ruining his life. Yet despite all these facts, Ted's solution was to start going out with her.

This relationship came across as illogical and not going to end well by almost everyone except Ted. This short-sightedness is notable in almost every relationship he had before meeting The mother and was mainly caused by Ted's hopeless belief in finding "The One.

Ted has several flaws like correcting grammar and he is pretentious as well. In Not a Father's Day , Robin points out how Ted already acts like a father to the group: always making weird jokes and doesn't tip really well. He loves collecting coins The Scorpion and the Toad , Lucky Penny , solving crosswords, and enjoys going to Renaissance fairs. Ted also tells overly-detailed if not long stories and other trivia on highbrow topics much to the dismay of a lot of people, including his children.

Ted also likes to play detective, especially when it comes to mysteries involving members of the Gang. He claims that his detective team is dubbed as Mosby Boys. His conclusions are often incorrect. Ted and Marshall met at Wesleyan University , where they were roommates. After they graduated from Wesleyan, they rented an apartment together in New York. They lived together till , when Marshall and Lily bought an apartment together. Ted repeatedly says that Marshall is his best friend in front Barney which annoys him, because he sees himself as Ted's best friend.

Barney is Ted's self-proclaimed best friend until the last season. Although Marshall is Ted's best friend Barney calls Ted his best friend.

Barney and Marshall are both Ted's best friend.
