Hello! I recently started learning BSL and I have a couple of questions about sentence structure/grammar which I'm hoping someone can help me with! It's my first time posting on the forum so if I'm in the wrong thread please let me know!

 

I understand how to order simple sentences in BSL but am really wondering the word order for the following sentences when signed - could anyone explain the word order for the following? 

 

1. What do you want to do? (I understand how to sign 'do you what?' but that's not the same question)

2. Where do you want to go?

3. How was your day?

4. Did it go well? 

 

Thank you so much for any help!

There are variations but basically:

1) you want + do/make + what?

2) you want + go + where?

3) day (or: your day) + good?

4) Depending on the situation you might just use 'good?' (thumbs up) and make it a question (eyebrows up, head forward).

When it comes to forming BSL questions the question word goes at the end.

you want what?

we eat where?

you go with who?

you go when?

How I think may be a little different but I am not sure..... If anyone knows please comment :)

    • Just added a deaf pub in hartlebury to my website. they run on the 3rd monday of the month, if you view my website, dont forget to change the duration to at least a month to display this meetup.
    • Hi, ok, so the Goose hosts a D/deaf Pub, which appears to be a Thursday Evening (I'll put more info on my website when they approve my FB Joining). I highly recomment D/deaf Pubs and Clubs to attend, because you get to see BSL in the real world, where as other students will sign how the tutor has taught them and (in my case) not all tutors sign the same way, so real life experience can be a huge bonus. (check out the website, just added the goose deaf pub info at deaf.mymentalwellness.uk)
    • Hi. erm... so, the deaf.mymentalwellness.uk page, you dont have to log in for that, it should give you two buttons, pressing the deaf pub / resources will take you to deaf.mymentalwellness.uk/events.php This is up and running, I have 30 venues listed, adding more when I get time. The bsl.mymentalwellness.uk page, im having to put in security measures for that page. This one you will have to log in, so the system can remember you and give you a distance based on postcodes. It will also have a block function as advised by my legal guys. The idea is to bring students L1/2/3/4/5/6 together with Native BSL Signers which will provide practice opportunities for the student, and social activities (Meetup for coffee) for the D/deaf person. If your interested in helping test and give feedback, please message me privately and ill give you instructions on how to access the page. Thanks Kim
    • Hi again do you know of any body in the Midlands that would like a BSL Buddy. Kate xxxxxxx  
    • I could not find this "...Deaf Pub listings at deaf.mymentalwellness.uk..." Do I have to sign in ?
    • Hi Kim, i'll be interested. I have posted a need for a BSL buddie, and the location/distance is an important part of being a buddie. I think we all need it to be convenient to meet and practice.
    • I wear a BAHA for my moderate to severe unilateral and I would like to be able to communicate in bel because it feels easier.
    • I'm a 13 year old girl with moderate to severe unilateral deafness, I currently wear a BAHA on a headband and I want to get the implant and I have recently started learning BSL. I know that my hearing loss is quite low but I still really want to be involved in the Deaf/HoH community but I have no idea how.
