    Hello,

    So I would like to learn BSL as I want to be a teacher, but I am having difficulty with the grammar.

    So far I know:
    1. timeline
    2. location
    3. object
    4. subject
    5. verb
    6. question

    However, where do I put nouns, pronouns and adjectives within this?

    Thank-you

    --
    Also, how is this for a translation of Boy George's ''karma chameleon''. [Verbal English is in brackets]

    Forever, desert your eyes loving [Desert loving in your eyes all the way]
    Your lies, I hear, you say [And if I listen to your lies would you say]
    Man I convict no [I'm a man without conviction]
    Man I contradict sell no how [I'm a man who doesn't know how to sell a contradiction]
    Mind changes yours [You come and go, you come and go]

    Hope you don't mind if this is absolutely terrible. It took me 20 minutes to try and work out what the last line was trying to mean - it's weird when you look at the song and realize it doesn't make sense to you even though you're fine when singing it.

    Thank-you again.

    No, sorry, ASL is quite different from BSL. Luckily the ones I remember from "Switched at Birth" are the same or similar. I do wish they had a British (Sign Language) version of SaB.
