Sign Language
of
This Month
The structure (order) of Japanese signlanguage is a little different from that of Japanese language.
You should learn signlanguage as if you are learning a foreign language.
Also your facial expression is very important when you use signs.
Please practice sign in front of a mirror.
The theme of this month is "Cold".
"It's cold. Please be careful not to catch a cold."

Notes!
��Pointing to outer space expresses that the weather is cold. And the space is altered depending on the sentence. One's facial expression is important.
��One's facial expression shows how cold it is or how bad your sickness is, when you sign "cold" or "a cold".
��In the case of signing "take care", facial expression is also important.
