Hi,

 

Im still a newbie but I think you can just get away with signing Question.  Rather than Topic>Subject>Question

THE SIGNS
QUESTION? - Index finger and thumb tips touch to make make "O" shape which traces question mark shape in front of body.
 

Unless you want to phrase it in a way that you are asking a specific question.

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:

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?

 

 

Hope this helps :)

      Hi my name is Gill and I've just completed lesson 3.  I started learning BSL a number of years ago and went to a Deaf Club in Chorley, Lancashire.  But sadly had to let it go when we moved.  Looking forward to learning again x

      Hi everyone

      Hi, I have joined BSL as I am retiring very soon from Special needs teaching. I have used Makaton signing in my classroom for many years but would like to be able to sign to more people. I also think it will be good for stimulating my brain and I have already become very competitive with myself playing the spelling game!!

      Ive just started to learn how to use BSL and I managed to use fingerspelling to get a message to someone when I wasn't able to speak to them. I am so Glad I started this course I think that it will really help me with my career path in the future.

      Why I am learning BSL?

      By Leunga · Posted

      Hi to all BSL learners, I have decided to learn BSL because as part of my role in healthcare I communicate with a variety of patients and think it will be a good skill to have.  Also my mother and mother-in-law is starting to have problem with their hearing... And I would like to have this skill to help them if they need to learn BSL in the future.

      Why am I learning BSL?

      By Julia Beagley · Posted

      My name is Julia. I am learning BSL because I am losing my hearing.  I have no hearing in my left ear now due to an acoustic neuroma and I have inherited otosclerosis from my mother's side of the family and I now have very little hearing in my right ear.  I also attend a lipreading class. I did start to learn BSL a few years ago but did not persevere! I am restarting my journey with it and must make sure that I practice, practice, practice!!
