"Next, we'll learn about questions. We'll go over the five W's, who, what, when, where, etcetera, etcetera. The first one is "what." This is the sign for "what." Another sign for "what" is this. Second is "when." When. Third is "who." Who. Fourth, "why." Why. Fifth is "where." Where. Now, it's important that you incorporate facial expressions. If you're asking question that's starts with a W, typically, your eyebrows are down. Where? Who? Why? Okay, good job."

on 12/17/2008 I absolutely love this site. I found it by accident and it was a wonderful accident. Unfortunately I can't forward it to work and I can't duplicate this accident at work. I will try again tomorrow. I am just a beginner and will always be a beginner. I have a club at school signing is fun. We are doing spelling and simple signs. Who knows maybe this will get the interest of someone and they will follow in a new career. I work in an elementary school so the basics is all we need for now. I tell them that our class is quiet because most of those that use sign do not speak so therefore they cannot speak unless I call on them to read what someone is signing. I do know some deaf people can speak but you know what, my club is very quiet. Again thank you.
