Basic Words In Sign LanguageFAQ
Question: Why are your signs for basic words in sign language different from my other resources? Answer: I admire you noticing these differences! I'm not actually sure what your resource has for these words, but my interpretations are accurate. Sometimes some signs are signed differently, like man and woman (one way is an open hand with your thumb touching your forehead or chin then your chest the second is having a thumbs-up handshape and touching your forehead or chin then touching your open hand to your chest). You can also compare the signs to these online dictionaries:
There really isn't much that a deaf person wouldn't understand. If it's an old sign, they would still probably recognize it, and maybe correct you. That's all. I would also suggest buying a more recent dictionary if you can afford it. This is my personal favorite:
I honestly can't think of any signs that this book doesn't have. Buy it and keep it handy! This is my favorite resource!
