(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Lady Gaga is learning sign language in a bid to communicate with her deaf fans.

The 25-year-old songstress, who is currently enjoying international success with her second studio album Born This Way, is reportedly gearing up to learn the language with the help of a private tutor.

The eccentric star was inspired to learn American Sign Language after seeing some hearing-impaired fans signing along to her hits on video sharing website YouTube. A source has revealed the singer now wants to give back to her loyal followers.

"Gaga's already campaigned for gay rights in the States and has spoken out about political issues like immigration. Now she wants to make sure her deaf fans feel included too," a source told British newspaper The Sun. "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."

This is not the first time Gaga had addressed her hearing-impaired fans. The American star has previously played shows with a sign language expert to interpret her lyrics for her deaf fans. The bold singer also dedicated her hit Speechless to her fans who couldn't hear at a show in Washington last year.

"I wish I spoke your language. That's really f**king beautiful. Everybody speaks the language of love and it's so beautiful that music brings everyone together," she told them. (C) Cover Media
