How do you sign...

[Mayberry]

...'homeschool'? Do I just have to fingerspell it?

Also, how would I sign 'heartbreak,' 'heartache,' 'broken heart,' or something similar to convey the idea?

 

[Kenai]

Just sign home and learn. If I remember right.

Signing break over your heart w/ a sad face would express broken heart.

 

[Mayberry]

Yay, thanks.

...or 'home/school/learn' in that order. (then again, the order of signing these words may not be neccessary when the general idea/concept is being given)

"Home" + "school" (but I like Kenai's "home"+"learn")

and as for "heartbreak"/"heartache"
I sign "heart" + "wring" with a glum facial expression.

 

[eliotj]

yeah, here we use "home" + "school"

 

[eliotj]

ok..

sign for MANGO

Anyone?

I think the sign of "mango" has regional accents-- it depends on where you are.

I am in San Diego in Southern California, and I have seen people signing as if you are biting into it while mouthing during or fingerspelling "mango" afterward...
(Open five then bent your fingers; move it upward several times as if you are eating an apple or something).
