    New Signers' Funny Mistakes

    Once someone wanted to say, "I am very hungry" and it came out, "I am horny". My response was, "We've noticed." LOL!

    New Signers' Funny Mistakes

    Just remember a few funny mistakes seen at church..... A woman wanted to interpret Mass and the nun in charge of interpreters let her interpret. Sister was there and wanted to see how well she did. Well, there were a few mistakes (I wanted to burst out laughing!) For Pontius Pilot, she...

    How do you sign "rock & roll"?

    Reba, How I don't envy you. As we all know, everything needs to be taken in context. So this brings up the questions, "What exactly is Rock and Roll?" and "Is this what is really meant?" Personally, I think of Rock and Roll music as coming from the 1950s and 1960s. The more modern type...

    Sign "Amen" in Different Countries

    In the US, Catholics sign "amen" like the sign "prayer" - not like the Canadian sign, which is the sign used by a lot of Protestants. Not sure how Jewish people sign the word.

    Don't Drink the Water......

    Heard this joke a while ago and thought it was a riot. BTW, would you let a hearie continously mess up his ASL or give him a hand and show him how to do the ASL better? Also, the Germans tend to agree that their language is difficult.

    Don't Drink the Water......

    Hmmm. The German isn't correct. " Trinken Sie nicht das Wasser! Die Kühe haben scheiße es." Should be "Trink das Wasser nicht! Schon haben die Kühe darin geschissen."

    Your beginning ASL experiences

    My very first ASL instructor was totally inept. Since we were students, we didn't know it. He did emphasize the use of ASL instead of SEE - which is something positive I got out of his class. As we got into the class, we (students) realized he was making up his own signs as the class went...

    question about asking if someone can read lips

    You most likely answered your own question right there. I am guessing the OP is just curious. No, this isn't something that is rude to ask a Deaf person. Ask the person "Curious. Lip read you?" And if the person asks why you are asking, just explain you are very curious as if he is (or...

    I just started learning ASL. Its been amazing.

    I bet in Ghana they have a lot of different signs than we have here in the US. After all, look at all the regional differences we have here in the States. Not only regional, but generational, too. I'm kind of surprised they use ASL instead of BSL.

    English... UGH!

    Just explain that in English, the second-person pronoun always conjugates the verb "to be" as "are" whether singular or plural. :cool2: And if they think that is somewhat crazy, try to explain to them the German word "sie", especially if it's the first word in a sentence and therefore needs...

    Two Questions On Fingerspelling Difficulties

    Here's my tip on "how to read fingerspelling". Simply nod your head yes and let the other person continue. If the other person begins to become aggitated, just go "oops. I mean no". And if the other person acts complete perplexed, just say, "again?" and then pay attention to the...

    Is this good ASL?

    I know where you are coming from, Julie. But then question will come up - who is he interpretating for - the Hearing or the Deaf? Honestly, I had to turn on the captions because some of the signs he used I had never seen before (and also needed to know what the words actually were)...
