Signing Notes:
The phrase “Can phone you?” means "Are you physically able to use the phone?"
 (It is a deaf thing. Most hearies think that phrase means, "Can I call you?" But that isn't what this phrase means.) 
Suppose two Deaf are at a party…one of them might ask the other “Can phone you?” He or she is probably trying to find out the level of the other person’s hearing and/or to find out if the other person is able to make phone calls. It depends on the context.  If it is near the end of the party and the person is looking for a way to get home he may need to call his (Hearing) mom for a ride. 
Those that don't speak on a phone can still make use of the phone system by using a TTY.  But use of  TTY is becoming rare due to the use of "video phones" and text messaging via cell phones.  See: "TTY" for more information.

Curriculum notes:
The phrase "Tell me about your teacher" is good practice for this vocabulary list, but please know that there are other ways to express this.  For example, eventually you will learn:  "YOUR TEACHER, EXPLAIN HE/SHE. LOOK-LIKE?  WHAT-DO?"

Story 11
I LIKE READ. CAN'T STOP ME. ALWAYS READ, READ, ANYTHING. WATCH TV, I NEVER. SOMETIMES PEOPLE CALL-TO-ME CHAT. I TYPE, (bodyshift left)-READ, (bodyshift front) READ, TYPE, (bodyshift left)-READ. FATHER he-SEE-me, MAKE HIM ANGRY. I THINK, FOR FOR HE MAD? I CAN BOOK AND TTY.

Discussion:
Here is an English interpretation of the story:
"I like to read. I just can't stop reading.  I'm always reading anything. I never watch TV.  Sometimes people call me on the tty to chat.  I read while chatting on the TTY!  This makes my Dad angry.  I don't know why he gets mad about it since I can do both at the same time!"
Scenario:
The TTY is in front of me, and the book is off to my left.  I read the book as the other person is typing.
Dad is mad because he thinks I should pay attention to the TTY and not try to do both at the same time.


Webmaster's note: From time to time I need to change the stories.  For example now more of us are using VP and texting and not so much TTY's.  Soon I will update that story and insert a better story to keep the curriculum modern.
