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 :)

      Learning BSL, why?

      By Charlottemarie · Posted

      Hello, I am learning BSL because I’ve been intrigued by it for a few years and have enjoyed teaching my toddler some simple signs for better communication over the last year.

      A little about me

      By gegelkins · Posted

      Hi, I am currently a student that is trying to become a Physical Education teacher. My reason for learning sign language is because I have had students that are D/deaf and I would love to communicate better with them without the use of external help. Also I have some family members that are losing their hearing or lost it so I would also still love to communicate with them as well. I have only just started but very excited to learn and develop my knowledge further

      Why learn BSL?

      By Myriam · Posted

      Hi there,   The reason I have decided to learn BSL is that I want to work in healthcare and with the cochlear implant, and therefore want to make sure I can use it and make my patients comfortable.

      Hi, I support children in school who have an hearing impairment. Love my job. I have my Level 1 and 2 of BSL and doing my Level 3 (which is hard). I am on here to practice and improve, and of course to meet all of you who are interested.

      Introducing me.

      I'm involved in HE, both student and tutor, although very matured 😶‍🌫️. My reasons for starting to learn BSL are mainly two. First, I have a colleague who is very proficient and she has been helpful to several people in her use of BSL, I would like to be able to help too. Also, it enhances me in working with people. I have only just begun, but sometime soon  it'd be good to practice. I shall come back and check if anyone else wants to practice when I've progressed further.
