    What the bleep?!

    haha, thanks for your input but I was more thinking of the sign for more of the idea of astonishment or confusion. Like if someone said or did something unbelievable and you said "What the f--k?" But I'm not sure if the f bomb has a noun form in ASL, besides being signed as f you. I...

    What the bleep?!

    So today I was messing around and thinking (outloud) in sign and then all of a sudden thunder struck and I wanted to say something along the lines of "What the f---" or "What the hell?" But I couldn't think of how I would represent that concept in ASL. Any suggestions to represent that...

    Speech on deafness

    Hello all! I participate in my high school speech team and after an experience with my deaf friend Amanda, I've decided to do my speech this year on deafness. The problem is that my event requires that I use humor while maintaining a realistic simulation of a speech given to a real group...

    What does this t shirt mean?

    So I bought said shirt and wore it to work. My supervisor must have seen my shirt because she went to help a mother of a deaf child with something and when she left she signed what was on my shirt while walking away, thinking she just said, "have a nice day" The mother's face was...

    How hard it is to learn sign language? how long to learn it?

    It took me less than a year to call my self proefficent, or in other words sign conceptually accurate while in the same word order as English, now I think it will take me about 3 months or so working on grammar before I could become fluent in real ASL. Then again, language is my drug, so I...

    What does this t shirt mean?

    Yes, I agree, if they were asking genuine questions I would be more than happy to help them, but now if they just want to go around screaming profanities no, I'm not going to teach them how to say that.

    What does this t shirt mean?

    That's so weird, I have never seen die that way, only with flat hands and flipping, like rolling over in your grave never that. Ha ha although I do like the concept because when ever I'm having a conversation with some one in sign people are always like, "how do you sign deaf chicks are hot?"...

    What does this t shirt mean?

    Shirt in question I mean I recognize, eat and I think the last part is die, and I'm going to take a wild guess say I know what the middle sign stands for. But I've never see die or shit signed that way and was wondering if I'm right in my interpretation. Thanks in advance and sorry if...

    Translate into ASL from English

    The first time I ever saw two deaf people was in Walmart and I asked my mom what they were doing with their hands. She responded, "talking to each other." Then my first year of coaching Special Olympics I walked up behind this girl and asked her where this court was and she started signing me...

    Indepth ASL Grammar

    Hi! I've been trying to find out some details on ASL grammar. My first question: 'When' vs 'Happen' I've been taught the rule but I can't exactly remember it, it's like, ''Use 'happen' in place of 'when' in subordinating clauses'' or something like that but I was wondering if someone could...

    C'est moi

    Hello! My name's Jonathan and I'm hearing. My first exposure to ASL that I remember is being in a super market with my mom and see a boy and his mother signing to each and and I ask my mom what they were doing and she said, "They're talking." I left it at that. Then I became a coach for...

    Top 10 Reasons for Learning Sign Language

    My friend and I are coaches for Special Olympics and when we don't want our athletes to know what we're talking about we sign. Once we had an athlete go, "Could you please stop signing? My head hurts watching you." So yeah, privacy is a great thing in the sense that people won't know...

    Is self-defense "murder"?

    If they try and kill you then it's not murder but if someone just was trying to rob you and you pulled out a gun and shot them in the face then, yes. In other words it's not murder if you're defending yourself from death and the only way to do that is to kill them, but if you just do it...

    How to learn foreign language

    I went to summer immersion thing for French in which we only spoke French. You spoke any English and people would ignore you, even if you were dying. Hardcore, but I learned a lot. Now, I'm hoping to attend Gallaudet after high school to be immersed in ASL. In short, immersion is the...

    Trying to think in ASL grammtical format.

    Push English away from your mind and just say, "I am speaking ASL right now, not English." I thought I would never be able to speak French or Spanish and just automatically put the direct/indirect objects before the verb without stopping and other things like that, Before I know I was...
