For those of you who sign, what indigenous KSL signs would you borrow to talk about Korea in ASL? Of course, I use the "traditional hat" sign instead of the "slanted-eye" sign for KOREA (although I have found that only the most highly-educated Deaf people are familiar with this sign and I have to go back and use the old sign anyway.)

Is there a different KSL word for Korean langauge? Does anyone know the sign for kim-chee? I know I would have to contextualize that sign if I were to use it, but once it were established, it would be great to have it in my repertoire!

Are there any other KSL signs you would borrow?

I didn't read every post to see if this has been mentioned or not. For learning ASL this is an excellent online source for doing so.

It costs money. About $50 for 3 months of unlimited access. However, they do have free samples.

I have used it some and I think it's an excellent resource for ASL. I plan to try it out as a way of pushing the kinetic learning button when teaching ESL. I'll have to see how well that works regarding the syntactical differences.

Yes, I was a bit surprised be this. I don't think reedtea meant to disparage the language in anyway. Her tone suggested the opposite in fact.

Hello, Oigirl!

I have some pictures for you!



This is from ��ȸ��. 1998. ������ȭ. ����: ���� ����.

I see you already know the sign for �ѱ�.



To say "�ѱ���," do the sign for �ѱ�, then the sign for ���ϴ�.

These are from n.a. 1999. �ѱ���ȭ ù����. ����: ���� ����.



which means, "�ѱ� ������ ��."

Awesome! Thanks!

Would you use these as "indigenous loan signs" yourself?

Ordinarily, I don't use Korean sign language in English class,
but somehow, I'm stuck on that one particular sentence.

When I introduce the class to a new students, I have a round of "This is Larry. Larry is next to Sam. Sam is next to . . .," while fingerspelling the words. When I introduce someone who hasn't been assigned an English name, I fingerspell that person's name in Korean.
