Can I sign back 'where' if the question is 'what'?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Just a curiosity after going lesson 3.

I work in a museum. Front of house team member. If someone signed to me 'work you what' would it be an appropriate response to sign 'work me where museum' ? And could someone teach me the sign for museum? 

Also, does anybody know a sign for Portsmouth?

Thank you for any help :) Shelby.

I wouldn't say I'm a receptionist. I'm a front of house team member, I can vary shift to shift what I do. Some days, ticket sales, other days I'll be working in the gallery or shop etc. Even in speaking when people ask what I do, I just answer that I work at a museum because it's easier.

Thank you! I will look at that now :)  And I'll remember that for portsmouth. Sorry I didn't see this response until now!

    • Hello. Thank you for your reply. Yes, it does make sense to use BSL for the reason you said. I was just thinking for day to day occasional use and trying to remember both ways.   I think I'll also ask my two friends what they think and go from there. Thanks again. David.
    • I would love to know how the top scorers on the leaderboard are reading the words and typing back in correctly SO FAST!!  I've been practicing and haven't managed above 28!
    • I'm a fairly new learner myself - but I've found users of BSL may swap to SSE to make it easier for you to follow.  If you know BSL, it is quicker, more expressive and probably more polite to at least try!
    • Hello all.  I'm hearing but I'm learning this because I've wanted to do it for years. I'm retired but have a part-time job in a shop and have two regular deaf customers who help me with learning bits and pieces. I've just completed level 9 of this course and really need to get some practice in. Can I ask, whilst communicating with others at this level, should I be using SSE or BSL. My friends/customers seem to use SSE whilst talking to me, but BSL when talking to each other.
    • Hi! 👋 I'm Darryl.. Nice too meet you all.. Why am I learning BSL? Well, I'm 50% deaf in my right ear, and have been since the age of 3. I also have constant tinnitus and have had for as long as I can remember. But that's not my motivation for learning. When I was a kid, my Mam's best friend was an interpreter, and her partner was profoundly deaf. I remember him coming round (or my going round to their home) and seeing how frustrated he seemed to get sometimes not being able to communic
    • I definitely think that schools should teach non-verbal communication to all students to some extent, for inclusivity of people like your son avsamp and because any level of any language is a great skill! I've been teaching lots of my friends the BSL finger alphabet 
    • hello! I'm learning BSL as my son struggles with his speech. hopefully this will make life a little easier for him!
