Look at it this way: do not think of it as you are signing words in
French or English you are making the “symbols to name items (words in the hearing world)” in
ASL Sign. Learn the words. Then learn the syntax used in the language of Sign just as you learned the spoken syntax for any other language.
Direct translation = backwards speaking Yoda
