Hello, I have been having the problem with asking questions to my mentor as well.. Kate, I would suggest to ask questions about how they process thier information in their head or if they just hear it and spit it out in the target language. I have noticed that most of my observation from what I have been seeing, is that hear it and then change it a little bit, not completly ASL but more of transliteration. I am seeing quite a bit of transliteration.. though.. I have been asking questions about how to interact with the people around me. There have been some friends of the consumer that have just came up to me and chatted with me.. and I am not sure where my limitations are on that, and what the ethical issues for that are. Hmm.. what else? I often put down signs I have never seen before, and asked them why they chose that sign, since some signs are meant for that situation, and used in that setting only and no where else. I have learned to ask lots of questions about sign choice, since the deaf person might prefer those particular signs only in that setting.
Hmm.. if I think of anything more, I will get back to writing again.. ;-)
All for now,
Prissy
