Last Saturday, I asked my instructor what's the grammar like in Sign language. She told me Malaysian Sign Language is not like English or other verbal language. She gives me an example:
English:
May I know where is the toilet please?
Sign:
TOILET WHERE?
See the difference? The challenge is to tell story with sign so that other party can get a picture rather than "speak" proper sentences with sign. They will not understand if I sign the full sentence with proper grammar. Next week I'm going to tell story with proper signing!
"Thinking is portable, inexpensive, and environmentally safe; it requires no equipment and you can do it even with a serious physical disability. Best of all, since thinking is universally applicable, you can make progress on any problem of interest simply by directing your attention to it." -- from the book, Mind Performance Hacks
