AW: [sw-l] CZJ - Czech sign language: SKOLA (school) - video

[Honza]

Hi Stefan and everybody.

it is funny to see SKOLA written with mouthbuilder :)
Yes, sure, it depends on situation when is the signlanguage used.
Signs like on video are signned in this way often in schools or on TV 
(because as they say "not only Deafs are watching broadcasting for the 
deafs, but also hard of hearings, loss of hearings, so we use the way of 
language the most people can understand").

In general mouthing (as articulating words) is not fixed part of czech 
signs (even if some people use it)
Anyway, SKOLA is mostly signed like your second picture  ;-)
