During a practice activity, students in an in-person class using
this curriculum made mistakes and/or had questions about the
following items. Thus if you are teaching this in-person you may
wish to clarify these concepts. If you are self-studying you may
wish to look these concepts up in your ASL dictionary.
Eventually these will have links:
ABOUT-[regarding]
about-[APPROXIMATE]
ALWAYS: This sign sometimes is done by drawing a circle in the air
and then moving the hand forward in a "Y" handshape. The "Y"
handshape is not necessary. It isn't wrong, but it isn't "needed"
either. You can do the sign for always by just circling and index
finger (pointing up) in the air.
BATHROOM: Uses a "T" handshape that shakes. Some people do a twist
movement. The sign BATHROOM doesn't need a separate sign for "room."
BOY-[male/guy] vs MAN-[adult-male/guy/fellow/dude]
GIRL-[female] vs
WOMAN-[lady]
CITY-[community/town] has a couple of versions. Some people twist
the movement. Others just show a “roof, shift, roof.”
DEAF: Uses an index finger not a "D" handshape. If you use a "D"
handshape it means "Dorm."
EQUAL, the palms are each facing in, not down. The tips of the
fingers come together.
FEEL: is done in the middle or a bit to the dominant side of the
chest, (not on the belly).
HAIR: Uses an "open F" handshape that closes into an "F" handshape.
HALF-HOUR
can use a flat hand or an index finger. The flat-hand version is
easier to do and recognize.
HARD: uses a single striking motion onto the back or side of the
non-dominant "S" or "bent V" hand.
HAVE: Uses "bent-b" handshapes that touch the chest.
HIM/HER-[non-possessive]: Just point at the person or if the person
isn't around, point off to the side.
MAKE: Uses "S" handshapes
MILK: uses only one hand. Opens and closes. Doesn't move up and
down.
MORNING vs NIGHT
Numbers 1 - 9 do not twist.
NUMBERS: When signing the numbers 16 - 19 some people use the "ten+six,
ten+seven, ten+eight, and ten+nine" versions. This is okay. It is
simply one more variation. It shows up to indicate “years” (for
example: 1984). Note that when part of the numbers from 16 to 19 the
"10-prefix" loses its internal movement and becomes simply an
"palm-back-A" handshape, pinkie-side down and then uses a single
twist as it changes to a 6, 7, 8, or 9 as part of that version of 16
through 19.
PANCAKES vs COOK
PREFER/FAVOR/FAVORITE vs SUPPOSE/"what_if?" vs IDEA
RECENTLY: Uses an "X" handshape, pointing backwards. The handshape
extends and flexes the index finger a couple times.
SEE-her: can be done with one hand, palm back, moving toward the
right.
SEPARATED: Uses "loose C" hands or "Curved hands" that change to "A"
hands. If you use a "D" handshape it means "Divorce."
SISTER vs GIRLFRIEND
SOMETIMES can vary the distance of the oval movement. A larger oval
equals less often. A very large movement can mean “rarely.”
TELL: Uses an index finger that starts palm back with the pad
touching the chin and then the hand is moved so that the tip of the
index finger moves forward and down in an arc.
TELL-me: starts with and Index finger held about four inches in
front of the chin and then moves in and grazes the chin with the tip
of the index finger. The tip of the finger continues moving until it
makes contact with the chest.
WHICH uses "A" handshapes.
