  10. ALL • In addition to meaning "all," the above sign can be used for most related concepts.  For example it can be used for "whole" or "entire.“

  11. ASK •   "ASK-to" starts as an index finger and changes into an "X" handshape as it moves toward the person being asked

  12. BAD/GOOD

  13. BATHROOM The sign for "bathroom" is made by forming the right hand into the letter "t."  The palm side is facing away from you. Shake your hand side to side a couple times. Some people use a twisting movement instead of the side to side shake.  Either is fine.

  14. Bedroom • To sign "bedroom" combine the signs for bed and room. There are several ways to sign bed. Two handed, one handed, palm to cheek, back of hand to cheek.

  15. Living Room/Family Room • Combine room and family or room and live

  16. Kitchen

  17. BIG • Notice in the sign below the "L" hand index fingers are bent?  That is a generic sign for "largeness" or the state of being big.  If I use "normal" "L" hands then the sign becomes an initialized sign for "LARGE." 

  18. CITY • To do the sign for "city" touch your hands together as if showing a roof top. Separate them slightly as you move the hands to the side and touch the hands together again.

  19. Stairs • Walk your fingers like they are legs going up the stairs

  20. FLOOR/LEVEL

  21. COME COME:  Uses a single quick movement:

  22. GO

  23. FAMILY • FAMILY: The hands trace the shape of a circle.  As if representing a family sitting around a dinner table.

  24. FAVORITE •  Note: the middle finger "jabs" into the chin (gently) it doesn't stroke the chin -- it pokes (jabs) twice similar to the motion of tapping the spacebar on a computer.

  25. FINE • Touch your thumb to your chest. Use a "five" handshape.

  26. FROM • The sign for "from"  starts with the dominant hand in a "1" handshape (as an index finger), and then changes into an "x."  The base hand:  Starts and STAYS as an index finger.  Pull the dominant hand back away from the non-dominant hand as if pulling back a string on a bow

  27. HERE Handshape: Both hands are in a relaxed flat hand shape..  By "relaxed" I mean the fingers can be together, or they can be loosely separated.  The hands are not "rigidly" flat, but have a very slight curve.  The thumbs are open a little bit, but certainly not "extended."Location:  Out in front of you, about belly height.   Orientation: palms facing up Movement:  Each hand moves in a small circle.  They don't go up and down.  They both move forward, then out to the side, then back toward the body, then in towards each other.

  28. HOUSE

  29. LIKE

  30. MORE Handshape:  Both hands use a semi-flattened "o"Location: Normal signing space in front of the bodyOrientation: palms facing each otherMovement:  Inward. Bring both "flattened-O" hands together.

  31. NEED Handshape:  "x"Location: In front of you, off to the right side a bit. Orientation: starts palm forward, ends palm down Movement:  "x" hand bends downward from the wristNon-Manual Marker (Facial expressions and or body language): Use a stronger facial expression to indicate a greater degree of imperative.

  32. SCHOOL The sign for "school" uses loose flat hands. You lower your dominant hand onto your base hand twice as if clapping

  33. SO-SO

  34. SMALL

  35. THINK • Location: forehead, off to the right a bit Orientation: palm back Movement:  The sign starts an inch or two away from the head and then touches the index finger to the forehead.

  36. RAISED/GROW UP • Show the height of a person as they grow up. Put your hand out in front of you, palm down. Lift the hand upward in a smooth steady motion.

  37. WANT • Start with "5" handshapes.  Palms up. Flat.  Bring the hands back toward you and change them into "claw" shapes.

  38. Negation • For most simple negation you don't need any separate sign--you just shake your head negatively while signing.For example, if I sign "I TEACHER" while shaking my head negatively, it means "I'm not a teacher."

  39. LIVE • The movement is straight up

  40. HERE • Handshape: Both hands are in a relaxed flat hand shape..  By "relaxed" I mean the fingers can be together, or they can be loosely separated.  The hands are not "rigidly" flat, but have a very slight curve.  The thumbs are open a little bit, but certainly not "extended."Location:  Out in front of you, about belly height.   Orientation: palms facing up Movement:  Each hand moves in a small circle.  They don't go up and down.  They both move forward, then out to the side, then back toward the body, then in towards each other.

  41. SIGN • Form both hands into "index finger handshapes."  Then draw a couple of large circles in the air with the tip of each index finger.  The movement for each hand is: up, back, down, forward, and so on in an alternating circular movement.  Both hands move at the same time. When the right hand is up, the left hand is down.  when the right hand is forward, the left hand is back. 

  42. WHO Place the tip of the right thumb on their chin and extend the index finger. The index finger is then "fluttered" up and down a couple times by bending and unbending it at the middle knuckle.Memory aid: Think of your finger fluttering in the air that flows from your mouth when you say "who."Notice, some people do this sign without touching the chin.  They hold an "X" handshape in front of their chin/mouth and wiggle the index finger up and down (quickly changing it from an fully bent X to a partially bent X a couple times).

  43. WHAT Hold your relaxed "5" hands in front of you. Hunch your shoulders a bit. Jut your head forward a bit.  Use a WH-Q (wh-question) facial expression. The hands move slightly farther forward and to the sides.

  44. WHERE • The sign for "where" is made using your index finger. Hold your hand in front of you and "waggle" the finger side to side a couple of times.  Imagine yourself looking at a map on the wall.  You put your finger on the map and move your fingertip a bit to the left then a bit to the right as you try to finger out "where" you are on the map. 

  45. WHEN • The sign for "when" is made by holding your left index finger up. Your palm should face right. • Bring the tip of your right index finger near to the tip of your left index finger.  • Circle the tip of your right index finger in a clockwise motion around your left index finger and end with the tip of the right index finger touching the tip of the left finger. The movement is in the wrist.  Your arm doesn't move much on this sign.

  46. HOW • Form curved handshapes on both hands, palms down and/or slightly back. Place your hands together with the knuckles touching. (Looks kind of like McDonalds' Golden Arches.)  Roll the hands forward until the "arches" are upside down--ending with your hands palm-up in "cupping" handshapes.

  47. WHY

  48. WORK • The sign for "work" is made by shaping both hands into "fist shapes" (the letter "s.")  With your palms facing downward, use your dominant fist to tap the wrist or the side of your non-dominant fist a few times.

  49. Apartment • Just fingerspell "A-P-T."

  50. How to set it up • Things to remember when talking about a place • It is always from the signer’s perspective • Must set up your subject before you talk about it • Hold your place • Once something is set up, it stays in the same place • Reference with your index finger
