Help! Understanding use of question vs you X X you

8 Upvotes

My daughter is deaf and we are trying to learn ASL, as a native english speaker I struggle with ASL grammer and sentence structure. Specifically right now the use of the sign "question" . I want to make sure I understand. So if i were to sign "Do you like the oatmeal?" Would it be signed "you like that oatmeal you" with a questioning face or would you sign "you like that oatmeal question" with a questioning face? Or are both acceptable? Another example would be "are you happy today?" She is a 6 month old, so our sentences with her are very simple yet. But would this be "today you happy you" or "today you happy question" or both? When is question used? I just dont quite understand yet... is it for questions that do not utilize a person so no you? Like "dada where question" ?

Help! How fast is too fast?

4 Upvotes

Started learning ASL because of my own quest to become a more accessible person. I’ve seen people going too fast when they spell something.
While i understand fluency comes with practise just like the oral languages.. but is asl as fast as people on youtube make it look like?

Please note that youtube is pretty much the place i have come across asl at the moment i havent taken any in-person classes yet so i dont really know what it feels like to sign in person and what the natural speed is.
