Putting into consideration what we said or rather talked about on our previous blogs, before starting a conversation with a Deaf person you have to make sure that you know how the sign example,"love" is signed because for one wrong sign or even the movement can mean something else. Example when signing love, you use hands cutting across each other with either "A" hand shape or clenched fist resting on the middle of your chest "wakanda" while on the other hand if you use open palm the same way it will mean friend.
keep in mind that sign language differs from country to country and it has a different meaning everywhere, in ASL they sign friend using their index fingers to show they will never be apart but in KSL if vertically placed it means umbilical cord for the attachment of the mother to the fetus.
