because it's so cold. COLD
ICE ICE
This is also the sign for frozen. Think of the water freezing together.
ICE For certain names of drinks these
are going to be fingerspelled, such as AMERICANO or MACCHIATO, but always have a menu nearby so
that way you can point and reference to what the person wants. Now it might seem easier to write
back and forth to get the person's order, but try your best at signing and pointing to things
to get the order across. Let's practice some sentences so you can use them at your coffee shop.
How can I help you? HELP YOU HOW?
Do you want hot or cold?
YOU WANT HOT COLD WHICH?
Small, medium, large? SMALL MEDIUM LARGE WHICH?
What is the name for this order? YOUR NAME WHAT?
Anything else?
OTHER?
It's always great to have a pleasant attitude when anybody comes into your store.
So let's practice these so a deaf person can feel more welcome.
Hi my name is Meredith. Hi my name M-E-R-E-D-I-T-H.
Nice to meet you. NICE TO MEET YOU.
Come again. COME AGAIN.
How are you? HOW YOU?
I love your, and you could sign EARRINGS, HAIR, COAT,
PURSE. I LOVE YOUR PURSE.
I hope this video was helpful for you. Don't be afraid to practice these signs whenever a
deaf person comes in. They are always so encouraging and love to see people
