Emergency Signs

Hi!
 
I am a high school student that is planning a project to create a booklet of basic signs in a variety of different sign languages around the world for emergencies used by healthcare professionals. I was wondering if anyone could help me with some BSL grammar. I just have 5 questions that needs to be translated, but still haven't quite grasped the concept of sentence structuring in BSL. 
 
1. "Where does it hurt?" into HURT WHERE?
2. "What is your name?" into NAME YOU WHAT?
3. "Do you know sign language?" or "Do you sign?" into SIGN YOU?
4. "Do you consent?" into CONSENT YOU?
5. "Do you have any family we can call?" into FAMILY HAVE CALL?
 
Are any of these correct? I'd appreciate any form of help I can get! Thank you in advance for helping me in the process of creating this booklet for local hospitals to communicate with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community.
 
(Also, if anyone knows other sign languages: Chinese, French, Russian, or Spanish, and can help with some grammar or words, please contact me: [email protected]!

      By Davidhwhite · Posted

      Also if you draw your index finger down from just below the knuckle on the left hand (right hand being signing hand) this is the letter Y Hope this is helpful. For any more help don't hesitate to skype me on david.white608 I know I few signs and believe we can develop B.S.L and help each other learn. Already by learning what I have learnt so far there are a few signs that can be miss read by non signers such as the number 2

      British Sign Language GCSE

      By BSLnews · Posted

      An article in The Independent a few days ago that shares the news that the government is "open to considering" a new GCSE in British Sign Language.  This came after 35,000 signatures were collected in a campaign to see BSL taught more widely in schools. You can read the full article here: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/british-sign-language-gcse-government-nick-gibb-campaign-school-a8377466.html

      Signing Stewardess

      By BSLnews · Posted

      A lovely suprise for this couple when they realised that the stewardess on their Philippine Airlines flight could sign! Wouldn't it be wonderful to see more of this kind of inclusion everywhere. Great customer service.

      Level 1exam too hard! now I know why.

      By Barry Turner · Posted

      Hey peeps Ive just done a first year of BSL to keep up with my 11 year old daughter who has cochlear implants. I found watching the DVD part of the level 1 exam too hard but everyone just said get on with it. It was like teh Emperor's New Clothes scenario. So what happens this week, it is announced that the video was in fact for level 2 students. Thankyou! But bizzarely we still watched it as a group and with some support I got there. But it is all a bit of a muddle if you ask me. Anyone else have this prob?
