      Yes I keep getting the vowels mixed up aswell. I only started learning 3 days ago so when they started getting fast i struggles quite a lot. But. Practice makes perfect 👌🏻

      To remember the vowels I use this trick - A is easy- thumb, middle finger is I the tallest like the dot on the I, ring finger is O like a ring - that just leaves E And U is the pinkey

    I’m learning sign language during quarantine so this really will help with fluent signers, I’ve only been at it for a few days but I’ll hopefully get the hang of it. This channel is great
    After doing the challenge and doing atleast five days of sign I got 14/35, I’m quite proud

  • @margarethammond4698
    @margarethammond4698 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I got them all right after I slowed it down to half speed and played each one about 5 times! Ha ha . Without the lip pattern that you would normally have when fingerspelling, it's sooo difficult for me. Good practice but really helps me appreciate what it's like to be dyslexic.

    This is an excellent way to practice when you know the topic. I struggled when it went faster and had to replay the clips several times. Some I didn't get at all. Thank you for this, will have a go on some of the other quizzesafter my brain has had a rest!

  • @lecolleenklaas6897

    I've just begun learning BSL, mostly because I watched the most heartwarming series and the girl who was deaf in it just lit up when her friends showed interest in learning how to speak to her so she doesn't always have to lip read (although this was a Japanese series and so they used JSL) Anyways, I also began learning it as I think being able to one day help someone deaf would be amazing and it would give me the chance to finally meet someone who won't interrupt my music as we converse 🤣
    So a massive thanks sincerely to this channel and the others for making it easier to learn at home.
    I was able to get 26/35 after learning the alphabet and my vowels, which I just happened to stumble upon learning on accident while trying to remember my fingers for this quiz.
    If anyone sees this I'd like to know any advice on how I can get better at reading finger spellings quicker outside of just practice if possible.
    In the quiz I found I mostly messed up on seeing the differences between U and S when said quickly, but I'm also just slow in general so most of the faster ones I had to keep going back to see it again in the moment lol.

    No problem from 1 - 21. I struggled with 22 (see comment below). 23 - 30 were generally okay but watched twice to check. 31 - 35 were hard and watched them 3 times but got them after 2nd or 3rd time
    I really stuggle with the vowels. They were the first thing I learnt and I know them but when actually reading someone spelling them, I really struggle, which is why I struggled with Maisie.

  • @jodia2125
    @jodia2125 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I got 31 right if it counts, because in all honesty some of them, pretty much the whole last half, i had to put the speed down because i too didnt see the increasing difficulty warning and just got annoyed at how fast it was. It wasnt the letters that got me really, it was mainly just the speed so i had to slow some and repeat them. I got jamie for james, maria instead of maisie, didnt notice the extra T on scarlett and got judi instead of jude. I also got ro?er and guessed it was roger so gave myself that point lol. Im pleased how well i did though, and if it was all a reasonable speed like it started, id of probably got more
