Hey guys,
Very novice signer here (about 3 hours of in-class instruction), but I already have tonnes of questions. I wondered if someone could help me out with these two:
1) In class, we signed "exchange personal information". When the teacher signed personal, he did something like moving an A-shaped hand (I think :P) from the left side of his chest to the right side of his chest. I was trying to look it up online, but the sign I keep seeing is an A-shaped hand with big finger directed towards the signer, at mouth level. What gives? Which one is correct and why can't I find the other one?
2) When we were learning how to sign "your name what?", the teacher used this one for "what":
Sign for WHAT | ASL Sign Language Video Dictionary and this is also what our textbook uses. But in other places I see this sign:
Sign for WHAT | ASL Sign Language Video Dictionary Are those two interchangeable?
Thank you!
