Navigator: Miyake Ken
Instructor: Hayase Kentaro
Assistant: Kaneko Mami
First, we can see Hayase-san & Kaneko-san are chatting with sign language together. Later Ken is approaching them.
Ken: Good afternoon. Just now I saw sign language of ‘work’…
Hayase: Now we’re talking about work. I work as a tutor. My wife is a pharmacist.
Ken: I see. How about Mami-san?
Kaneko: Me? Now I’m a graduate student. I’m doing a research about information support for deaf people.
Ken: I see. But studying is hard, right?
Kaneko: But it’s fun!
Ken: It’s fun?! Eehh~~ Studying is ‘fun.’ (showing sign of ‘distress’ instead of fun, LOL)
Kaneko: ???
Hayase: That means distress! It's supposed to be fun.
Ken: Fun, right? (while showing the right sign XD)
Lesson 1: Basic Sentence
Theme: Work
Sign for ‘work.’
“I’m a company employee and I work as a clerk.”
Let’s learn from Hayase-san first.
I'm a company employee and I work as a clerk.
Point:
1) Sign of ‘company’ & ‘badge’ must be done without pause, do them as one sign.
company + badge = company employee
2) Do signs with good rhythm.
Let’s see how Ken did it.

Chef = cooking + finger spelling ‘し’ (shi)
Fireman
Fireman = holding fire hose to put out the fire + finger spelling ‘し’ (shi)
Ken: How to express ‘doctor’?
Doctor = checking pulse + man
Ken: How about ‘teacher’?
or
Teacher = teach + man/woman
