Moving Letter “J”  Because "J" is a moving letter (like "Z"), it influences the hand position of the letter that follows.  "JA", "JE", "JO"  The second letter is embedded into the final position of the letter "J".  It looks like the second letter is facing sideways  "JU" and "JI"  The second letter is also formed at the final position of the letter "J" and held as the hand rotates and faces forward  It looks like the second letter will have the palm facing you and held as it moves to face forward.  The bottom idea is to blend the second letter within the first and third letter of a word/name. Otherwise, you will look like you are stamping letters (showing each letter individually) and lacking flow.  Watch DVD 4:6 (P. 194) Rocking Numbers 67-98  These numbers require a twisting movement of the wrist o Otherwise, when you try to maintain your wrist in the same position, there is stress/tension in the nerves in your wrist (feel free to try) o Rocking (twisting) your wrist as you demonstrate these numbers will relieve yourself of that pressure  Smaller number first: twist up to a larger number o 67, 68, 69, 78, 79, 89  Larger number first: twist down to smaller number o 76, 86, 87, 96, 97, 98  Watch DVD 4:3 (P. 184)

Negation 





Diferent ways to respond to a question: o Negate the statement  Basically only saying "no, this is not true/does not have" o Correct the information  Saying "no," but adding a piece of correct information instead o Do both  Negate the statement & correct the information  "No, this is not true/does not have" AND adding a piece of correct information o Example 1: Are you pregnant? (YOU PREGNANT, YOU?)  Negate the statement  No, I'm not pregnant. NO ME NOT PREGNANT, ME.  Correct the information  No, my sister is pregnant. NO, MY SISTER, IX-loc, PREGNANT.  Do both  No, I'm not pregnant, but my sister is pregnant. NO ME NOT PREGNANT, MY SISTER, IX-loc, PREGNANT, IX-loc. o Example 2: Do your parents have a dog? (YOUR PARENTS BOTH-of-them HAVE DOG?)  Negate the statement  No, my parents don't have a dog. NO, PARENTS BOTH-of-them NONE DOG.  Correct the information  No, my parents have a cat. NO, PARENTS BOTH-of-them HAVE CAT.  Do both  No, my parents don't have a dog, but they have a cat. NO, PARENTS BOTH-of-them NONE DOG, BOTH-of-them HAVE CAT. Student Practice o Signer A: Ask a question (from below) o Signer B: Reply with a complete sentence  Use one of these methods:  Negate the statement (NO, ME NOT PREGNANT)  Correct the info (NO, MY SISTER PREGNANT)  Do both (NO, ME NOT PREGNANT, MY SISTER PREGNANT) o Signer A: Respond (i.e. NICE or OH-I-SEE or INTERESTING)



Caution: There can be confusion or misunderstandings if you mix up the handshapes for personal pronouns and possessive adjectives o "You're a baby" versus "Your baby" o It is common for students to say YOUR instead of YOU, and vice versa. It often leads to misunderstanding. "Her" can be interchanged though, depending on how it is used in a sentence. o I like her. (use YOU) o I like her house. (use YOUR)

Telling How old  A forewarning… o Learning age numbers can be somewhat confusing due to a variety of ways used to tell an age number in the Deaf community. o The one standard: telling age numbers always have your hand start at your chin in some form.  But first, let's view a video… o DVD 4:7 Telling Ages (P. 195-197)  If you are feeling uncertain, the safest way to tell any age is to sign AGE and then the number in one movement. o Example: 2 years old o In the following few slides, I will indicate all the possible ways to sign a certain age number. Some of these only have one way to sign an age whereas another group of age numbers might have three diferent ways (indicated ad 1., 2., 3.).  All of these age numbers can be signed using the above method, which would be an ADDITIONAL way on top of what is mentioned in the following slides o 1-8 Years old  Form the number on your hand and place the index finger of that handshape at your chin. Move your hand outward in an "Age" movement  In the Deaf community, this seems standard and is the only method to sign 1-8 years old. o 9 years old  Form the 9 number on your hand, but with your index and middle finger still open (not touching.) Place the index finger of that handshape at your chin. Move your hand outward and close your index/middle finger. At the end, you will have a nice "9" on your hand.  Form the "9" number on your hand and place the middle finger of that handshape at your chin. Move your hand outward in an "AGE" movement o 10-15 years old  Place your index finger at your chin and as you move your hand outward, chanfe your handshape to show the number.  Another option for 12-15, close the fingers (however many needed to form the number) and place your fingers at your chin. As you move your hand outward, change the handshape to show the number. o 16-19 years old  Place your index finger at your chin and as you move your hand outward, change your handshape to show the number.  Show the second digit number on your hand and place the index (or middle for 19) finger at your chin and as you move outward, twist your hand as if you were telling the number as a whole.

19 can be done with the 9 signed wither #1 or #2 method in the previous slide  Place a closed "5" handshape with all four fingers (except the thumb) at your chin. As you move your hand outward, change your handshape to show the number. o 20+ years old  Show the first digit number on your hand and place it at your chin. As you move outward, give the second digit number. o Less than One Year Old  AGE + the number is incorporated in the sign for "month"  Example: 4 months old - AGE 4+MONTH  For numbers 10 or greater, give the number and then sign the time length (separately).  Example: 10 months old = AGE 10 MONTHS  The above two statements also apply to lengths in HOURS, DAYS, and WEEKS Repeating: If you are feeling uncertain, the safest way to tell an age is to sign AGE and then the number in one movement. o This can be used for any age. o Example: 10 years old These age numbers are only used to give ages of people and pets Do not use these age numbers to talk about the age of an object such as a house or a car. So why about objects such as houses? Sign the number & the time word (i.e., years) separately. o 20+YEARS, 50+YEARS Sample Questions/Sentences o HOW-OLD YOU?  How old are you? o ME OLD-29  I am 29 years old. o YOUR SISTER HOW-OLD?  How old is your sister? o MY SISTER OLD-35  My sister is 35 years old o YOUR DOG HOW-OLD?  How old is your dog? o MY DOG OLD-8  My dog is 8 years old Before we start with students practicing sentences, I would like to revisit the possessive apostrophe. o Example: My son's roommate o Sign YOUR (which is also the same sign for HIS/HER) to show possession in lieu of the apostrophe  My son's roommate = MY SON HIS ROOMMATE  My Mother's father - MY MOTHER HER FATHER  My sister's daughter = MY SISTER HER DAUGHTER o Student Practice Sentences  My sister is 6 years old.  MY SISTER IX"sister" OLD-6  My bird is 3 years old.  MY BIRD OLD-3  My oldest brother is 20 years old  MY OLD+EST BROTHER IX"brother" OLD-20.  My daughter's roommate is 31 years old.  MY DAUGHTER HER ROOMMATE OLD-31  My rabbit is four months old.  MY RABBIT IX"rabbit" 4-MONTH OLD  My youngest brother (I have 3 siblings) is 11 years old  MY BROTHER [(wh)4/IX-pinkie] OLD-11.  My dog is 7 years old. 

Talking about Extended Family  As your family tree grows, telling relationships can get trickier If the persons are not present.  If they were present, you would simply point them out in a conversation.  Use the signing space in front of you to "visualize" and "draw a family tree.  So when mentioning GRANDMOTHER, you would point up higher in your signing space where a grandmother would be placed on a family tree.  Whereas, younger children would be pointed lower in your signing space as they are usually on the lower part of a family tree.  Now, to establish a relationship between two people on a family tree, you need to:  Establish the two persons of interest and point them out in your signing space where they're positioned in a "family tree" (use MAN/WOMAN/BOY/GIRL)  Tell the relationship by using HE/SHE and HIS/HER  Example: telling how A is related to B in the image below  WOMAN, point, BOY, point  SHE HIS GRANDMOTHER  Scene 4  The twins grow up [(2h)BE-RAISED)], get married (MARRY), and each have a child (BE-CONCIEVED and BORN)  The elderly woman is the grandmother to the children o OLD WOMAN, point, BOY GIRL, point/point. SHE THEIR GRANDMOTHER.  The elderly man is the grandfather to the children. o OLD MAN, point, BOY GIRL, point/point.
