Hi everyone,
I haven't been on here forever! I'm still working on learning ASL and having a tough time translating "The Napping House" to ASL. It's so hard because houses don't take a nap - metaphor - and I'm not sure how to convey this! Anyone have any suggestions? They are most appreciated!! Thanks, Melissa:wave:

Click to expand...

some things can't be translated in to asl.. if the thing is a metaphor. best way to sign it is literally.for if you don't want to go into the meaning..
you can also look at the meaning behind the words and sign that instead. Make sense?
