How to SIGN the days of the week in SASL.

Top tips...

🤟 Practice, practice, practice.

🤟 Note how similar (and easy to remember) the signs MON, TUES, WED & THURS are.

🤟 To sign FRIDAY:
Begin with a bent sideways "V" letter, directly under your chin. Then brush that "V" out & away from your chin twice.

🤟 When signing SATURDAY:
Rest your hand under your chin, palm facing you, middle finger and thumb together (all other fingers extended). Then - keeping your hand in place - flick out your middle finger twice.

🤟 When signing SUNDAY:
Begin with 2 hands placed flat onto your body, just above your chest. Then slide your hands down the front of your body, from chest height to waist height.

Keep both your hands flat and in contact with your body throughout the movement of this sign.

Imagine smoothing down your best Sunday suit / dress.

Note... Sometimes Sunday is signed using just one hand.

🤟 Non-manual features / Facial expression: Neutral.

Here are the Big 5: African animals AND the 5 parameters of Sign.

🤟🏼 How to sign. . .
1. RHINO
2. LION
3. ELEPHANT
4. LEOPARD
5. BUFFALO.

🤟🏽 Plus... If you ever need or want to write out a sign for someone, then always "write the sign" by listing its (Sign Language) 5 parameters.

🤟🏾 The 5 parameters are:

1. HAND SHAPE
(What sign letter does it use?)

2. LOCATION
(Where on / near your body does the sign start?)

3. PALM ORIENTATION
(Which way does your palm face?)

4. MOVEMENT
(How does the sign move?)

5. NON MANUAL FEATURES
(What facial expression should one use?)

🤟🏿 Example

How to write the sign for RHINO

1. Hand shape: 2 x letter "Y's"

2. Location: On the end of your nose.
* Letters placed tip to tail.

3. PO: Palm 1 facing left. Palm 2 facing right

4. Movement: Stationary

5. NMF (facial expression): Neutral

We wish you a terrific Tuesday. And hope you had relaxing public holiday (Human Rights Day).

With much love,
from us to you. 💕

Introduction to SASL animal signs.

🤟🏼 Note the sign for CAT is an iconic sign. I.e the sign looks exactly as you would imagine.

🤟🏽 There are 2 signs for the sign DOG. The one listed here and the second is a simple double tap on your side hip. Ensure if you use this alternate sign, whoever you are signing to can see that sign within their visual range.

🤟🏾 Simply read the directions on how to sign HORSE in SASL. 😉👍🏼

We will post a more animal signs in the weeks ahead and will add these signs to our next revision video series.

Wishing you a fabulous Tuesday.

With much love, from us to you.

Deaf Etiquette #4

When an interpreter is present...

🤟🏼 Ahere to this cultural eitquette and you will never offend anyone.

🤟🏽 This particular eitquette may span across all cultures. What we do know, for sure, is that it is particularly important in Deaf Culture.

🤟🏿 The cartoon at the end, simply made us chuckle. 🤣

We wish you a fabulous weekend.

Big hugs & much love 💕

How to ask questions in SASL...

Here are a few of our TOP TIPS:

🤟🏻 Always lean slightly forward when signing a question.

🤟🏼 Always use your facial expression to show enquiry.

🤟🏾 And... if you really (really) want to know something, then repeat the question sign at both the begining and the end of your sentence. E.g. WHO (is) THAT WHO?

🤟🏿 Practice, practice, practice, as it is quite easy to mix up one Q sign with another.

We wish you a fabulous Tuesday & we'll see many of you in person (just now) in our free A-Z master class.

Much love.

When signing with a deaf person, you will be asked if you are hearing or deaf.

🤟🏻 You already know how to sign DEAF (we hope you remember how)

🤟🏼 and so now...here is how to sign HEARING.

🤟🏽 If you want to sign "I am" first, then simply point to yourself and then sign "hearing" (or "deaf").

We wish you a fabulous weekend!

Much love, from us to you.
🙏🏼💕
