I am a hearing teen and I am trying to learn ASL because I think ASL and deaf culture is very cool and a great thing to learn. I don't know if this is supposed to be only for deaf people or not( I if i shouldn't be just let me know and I will delete my account) but I have some questions and more to follow if someone could help me out and answer some.
1) I am learning off of the website LifePrint.com and it is very use full but when signing ASL do you really use a different word order than in regular Englilsh? For example when asking how long you have lived in a certain area the instructor signs "you live here how-many year" could you sign "How-many year you live here"?
2) When you are a child in school do you call your teacher by just a name sign or do you use a sign infront of the name sign to make it more formal?
those are the 2 off the top of my head, but I may think of more. Thank you for your help!! It's greatly appreciated.
...by the way these ------> :dj: <------ soo cool lol
