Hello I work at an outpatient lab and I took sign in college but I forgot mostly all of it. I stutter with my hands and I get frozen on the spot of talking to somebody. I want to get better I’ve been watching your videos and I subscribed.. I want to have the people who come to my job to feel welcomed and I want to be able to interact for a blood draw I am a phlebotomist.. Ive learned some things but please help

First...relax. Don't be so hard on yourself. The person coming in is not expecting you to be an expert! Use the signs you know and fingerspell the rest. SMILE. Your desire to be helpful is a big deal.

Good teacher. I heard you say your dad was deaf. Was your mom deaf also?

[@signlanguagepractice]

Thanks. Yes, both parents are Deaf.

You’re the perfect person to ask. I live in SC. I’ve noticed that the word “sign” is now signed (2) different ways. The old way of using the “L” hand and rotating it towards your body. But now I see that it can be using all fingers like “many” is signed. So my question is, in what situation would you use each sign. Thank you for your help.

[@seniorlivingplans]

I have seen the "L" hand or, more common, your index finger rotating toward the body. To be honest, I have not seen the other one. Could be more common in your area?@@vickygreen8064
