Learn Sign Language – How To Learn It the Right Way

Who, Why, Where, When, What

You should begin learning sign language by concentrating on ‘who, why, where, when and what’. These are known as the 5 W’s. No conversation of any kind can take place without these five key information. So learn these signs first.

To learn the sign for ‘who’, just touch your chin with the thumb of your right hand and your index finger pointing out towards the other person. Now move your hand forward two times so that your index finger comes towards you. That’s the sign for the word ‘who’

For the sign indicating ‘why’ all you have to do is touch your forehead with the fingers of your right hand. You then lower your hand down from your face and away from your head. As you do so, curl the fingers of your right hand to make the sign ‘Y’.

The sign for ‘where’ simply requires you to raise your left hand with your index finger pointed upwards. Now wave your index finger left to right as if you’re pointing to places along the street.

To learn sign language effectively, you need to know the sign for ‘when’. For this, you need to raise the index finger of your left hand up and then draw a circle round the finger with your right index finger. This motion signifies time.

And finally, the sign for ‘what’ can be made by raising both your palms upwards while shrugging your shoulders. It’s a universal sign that’s used even by people who are not deaf to convey the message that they don’t understand something.

You should learn the signs for the 5 W’s if you want to learn sign language the right way. They will help you understand any conversation by signing quickly and easily.
