I believe the sentence structure would be "like you rugby" with a questioning expression.

 

"Like" is tap twice on the chest with flat primary hand, "you" is point to the person, then "rugby" is mime throwing a rugby ball. All this is covered in lesson 3 or 4 I think. The hobbies/likes/dislikes lesson.

Found the relevant part, and it' would actually be "Rugby you like?"

 

This is taken from lesson 3:

"The structure of asking a question in BSL is:

TOPIC > SUBJECT > QUESTION

e.g.

LIVE (topic) > YOU (subject) > WHERE? (question)

You can see this in the phrases we have been learning:

Spoken English

British Sign Language

What is your name?

Name you what?

How old are you?

Age you what?

What job do you have?

Work you what? / Work you where?

Where do you live?

Live you where?

Are you Deaf, or hearing?
Deaf hearing you which?"

Thank you all very much for the help. I was confused as I wasn't sure how to phrase it like a question, I'm assuming by facial expression rather than a sign. I didn't want to make it sound like I was saying that person like rugby instead of asking them if they did.

      The story behind me learning BSL

      By seobyLeo · Posted

      Once upon a time, in the digital age of 2023, I found myself embarking on a journey that I never could have predicted. It all started with a simple yet profound desire to learn British Sign Language (BSL), and this journey unfolded in the most unexpected way, thanks to my young brother. My younger brother, Alex, was born with a natural curiosity and an unparalleled sense of wonder. He had always been fascinated by different cultures, languages, and ways of communication. One day, while we w

      Hello. If you have problems with your reproductive system, you should learn more about the medicinal product Enclofimen at https://valhallavitality.com/blog/unraveling-the-benefits-and-sources-of-enclomiphene-a-comprehensive-guide. It contains information about the effectiveness of the drug in increasing testosterone levels in men, as well as treating reproductive function. Most hospitals recommend this drug.

      Hi there I've been wanting to learn sign language for years, but just found you can do it online so very excited to learn! I don't think it's going to be easy though! If there's anyone on here from Belfast that wants to have a coffee and practice in person, give me a shout! Liz

      Why I’m learning BSL! :)

      By Emmiebun · Posted

      Hi! I’m Emily, I was a CoDa (child of deaf adult) between ages of 5 and 12 as we used BSL at home to communicate with my stepdad who was deaf.    I recently watched a show with a deaf actress in who used ASL and it reminded me that I know quite a lot of basic BSL but I want to brush up on my skills so I can effectively communicate with any BSL users I come across! It’s also a fun hobby ☺️
