    This really should be mandatory in all schools instead of french, since leaving school I've encountered a few deaf people whilst working and it's embarrassing for both of us to find pens and paper. Thank you for this video.

    This should be mandatory in school in the UK. My brother has deafness and I start taking classes so that I can communicate with him but I have to pay for it. It should be compulsory so people with deafness can communicate with everyone. I’ve saved this to my playlist so I can always refer back to it in case I forget. Thank you for posting ❤️

      Absolutely agree. Why teach us Spanish and French? Unless you go on to be a high school teacher, most of us will barely remember a sentence by the end of our exams. Sign language is much more useful and personally, much more exciting to learn. After learning some basics, it makes you feel so nice knowing you could help someone using bsl or just exchange a conversation.

I noticed he was using sign with his friend and I said thank you in sign and he was so shocked and incredibly happy he returned the gesture and I thought “that guy is so used to not communicating he doesn’t expect it anymore” can you imagine not being able to talk to 99% of the people in your home?

    This is an amazing video. Clear signs, multiple angles, and a steady pace... But I don't understand why there's such a stigma for people without hearing impairment or who aren't mute, learning BSL (or any SL for that matter). This really should be taught alongside English around the world. You never know when someone might be mute or hearing impaired, or whether you'll lose your hearing or ability to vocalise words... And if that happens, you're stuck without being able to communicate, especially for help. I might only be in my early 20s, but I've come across a fair amount of people with hearing impairment that I never got to converse with, especially in the workplace. Hopefully if I learn BSL to some degree, they'll have another person they can chat to :D

      What a dumb idea. Why don't you also learn Spanish if you meet a Spanish person? Or french? or Romanian? Who has to learn BSL will learn it. Leave the rest in peace. SL also differs from country to country, so you can't use it anywhere else.

I am now 13 and am still learning how to play it. Me and jojo are both interested in acting and we love to do it we are doing gcse drama together and we both want to be actors when we are older, I look up to Rami Malek a lot, so for acting I’m leaning sign language as well hope everything’s going good for you.

Im very insecure about my hearing problems but reading these comments of how kind people are really made my day and made me feel not so ashamed of being the way I am. I was born this way and will die this way. But thank you all for your willingness to learn such a language. You really make people like me smile

    Hi Dan. I'm 58 years old and have been deaf all my life. I could hear sounds when I was little, but couldn't pronounce any words, so it was thought that I was a "backwards child". I was 9 before anyone realized I was actually profoundly deaf. I got my first hearing aid and gradually learnt to talk. However, my hearing was all gone by my late teens. Luckily, I can lip-read, but my voice is nasally and can sometimes sound garbled, especially if I'm tired or stressed. I have always worked and adapted to suit my employment situations. I find my deafness is hard for people to understand. I've been to many sign language classes, but these are always for hearing people. I can't learn in a group setting as there is too much going on and it confuses me. Your series of BSL has been so helpful to me. I have tried to find sign language tutors for people who are actually deaf. Do you have any recommendations? I'd love to 'have a conversation' with someone in sign-language. I'll keep following your wonderful classes. Many thanks, Jane :)

      ...because when I was tiny, Play School would sing "Which finger did it bite? This little finger on my right." When really they had their left little finger up for the children watching on the television.
      It's good to now know the answer. If you're left-handed you do the major parts with your left hand.

    And so, I phoned the BSL centre and asked if I, student Nurse with a little Makaton, could get classes in BSL at a small price?

    Me and my two sons watching "sing and signs" for kids when they were pretty young and they really enjoyed it. That time I did not realise it, that I will use the signs for purpose later on. It happened that my youngest child was diagnosed with ASD and severe language development delay. Now he is 10 and even he can nicely say words, singing like angel and telling stories, he has no receptive language. I started to prompting him with the old well known signs and he is following me and so happy with them. I decided to learn more and I am so happy to find your videos. I agree with other comments that it would need to teach children in school for at least the basic sign language; it should be fun for them and kids has a tendency to help others, so...Thanks a lot :)

    This is sooo useful, the different angle helps me a lot, since I have terrible spatial awareness and usually struggle to copy mirror images. Thank you so much!

    I've recently begun learning sign language as at first just a hobby, but when a customer at the place I work (who was deaf) came in she seemed nervous so I gave what I'd learnt a try; and she was more than surprised. My signing wasn't great or "perfect" by any means, but she felt appreciated and that made my day as well as hers. It's handy videos like this that make learning sign language not so difficult as it first appears. Thank you once again!

    I used to translate BSL I've forgotten a lot as it was over 20 years ago. It's funny but when I watched this video it's like being reminded again. I'm getting arthritis in my hands and I am finding some of the signs difficult. Maybe if I'd continued signing I'd still be able to do it easily. There is a deaf gentleman that comes into the shop where I work and he always comes to find me despite my signing being terribly rusty nowadays. I do like having the opportunity to practice again with him.

    Like everyone else i seams I thought BSL would be something useful to spend my time learning and this video was extremely clear and useful. Definitely going to watch more of your channel to learn!
    Showing the different angles was extremely helpful for positioning and hand shapes and it was really easy to follow
    Good luck to everyone else learning!

    This is amazing I have been trying to learn sign language since late 2019 but have been really struggling to remember them especially with my very bad hand to eye coordination but with the different angles this makes it much easier to understand. I have sever panic attacks and I can't talk when having them so I think bsl is amazing to help with that. Could you show the signs for emergencies like if i required an ambulance and needed to sign it?

    This has been really helpful. Fairly often (although not often enough to stay current) patients will come through my ward that either sign, use makaton or gross approximation of signs. So it's really good to have these demonstrated to remind me!

  • @ajc94

    I don't have a hearing impairment but I'd really like to learn BSL one day. I used to work as a waitress and we had a few Deaf customers come into the restaurant. I thought it must have been a difficult situation for them that hearing people take for granted. We were able to communicate but I felt embarrassed that I didn't even know any simple signs to make them feel comfortable. Even though this was 5 years ago I remember it so clearly!

  • @samuelthomas7755

    I've always wondered if there's a universal sign language, like the English equivalent amongst the various sign languages of the world. If there exists such a thing, I would really love to learn that. I started learning SL only to later discover that SL varies according to region or country and now I'm getting things mixed up, its quite frustrating😪

    • @andrewjones9991
      @andrewjones9991 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree. ASL is the most common in the world so I would learn that. I understand why Chinese would be different but it's stupid to make a different one for the UK. The UK should just swallow their pride and use ASL. If you're really butthurt about A being for American maybe whoever owns the name would agree to making it USL for universal or something. I think it would be great for the hearing impaired to be able to communicate globally in a way the hearing can't always.

    • @charliemonstah1
      @charliemonstah1 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@andrewjones9991 All sign languages evolved as Deaf people communicated with one another. They were not created by Hearing people. I'm pretty sure people won't give up their native languages willingly. Same as there are many different Hearing languages and they will continue.
      Maybe one day we'll have one currency, a universal language and a president of the world ruling over us. Sounds good? But will it be English, Mandarin, Korean, Swahili or Icelandic? Guess we might adapt one sign language too. But will people be punished for using their own mother tongue or sign? Sounds problematic in a whole new way. 😊
