This video is absolutely correct cause my brother is completely deaf and can't talk we have big books of sign language my mam and dad had no choice but to learn how to sign language
since im bored in quarantine, i think im going to start learning bsl. i just want to be able to speak to a deaf person if i meet one. im drawing these out in my bullet journal, so this vid was very helpful! :)
Im actually death so i am indeed learning sign language but i already know the alphabet but this is very helpfull for people who want to lean sign language
I think this should be taught at schools, it only takes 20-30 minutes to learn and allows so many people wider communication possibilities where they would otherwise feel secluded.
literally!! Me and this girl who like were friendly with each other got put next to eachother in maths and we were both bored so she started teaching me the alphabet and i remember pretty much all of it (few odd letters i forgot) and she taught me in like the last twenty minutes of the lesson yesterday) her and her friend have learnt and also one of my friends knows it and we tried talking to each other in it and he was actually pretty good. Its so quick and easy to learn and imo should be an option for language gcse
i'm glad you put the camera to show your left and right perspective it was easier and quicker to learn the alphabet knowing where the hell to put your hands and fingers, cheers!:)
I'm ans ASL (American Sign Language) student here in the states and I have to say it's really interesting seeing other countries versions of sign language... Maybe British sign language will be the next thing to learn. :)
Ya, this is three years later I like to find comments that r 1 or more years ago and comment on them, don’t worry u r not the only one, I have done this to lots of other people so congratulations ur one of them😂😂😂😂
I used to know the elphabet in sign language when I was a toddler, but throughout the years I’ve forgotten ALL of it. I looked at this video now at age 11 and it brings back loads of memories so thank you so much 😊
The ASL alphabet is way easier for me. I am fully capable of hearing (slightly going away because I love to play instruments) and I am 15 and I was able to learn the ASL alphabet in less than five minutes.
This is very helpful since I've been trying to learn it from pictures not knowing which perspective it was from and the picture was the wrong way round! Watching the video makes it much easier
Lily Foley ahh so u watch doctor who, tell me about the new one, do u like it. Everyone thought that it was going to be ruined because the doctor was going to be a women but I find it really good but not as good as David Tennet (I don’t know how to spell his last name, I know stupid) when he was the doctor
@@shadowgirl8819 peter capaldis later seasons are really very good, jodi whitaker is ok but id say her variation perhaps isnt as intresting as the others
omg this is so helpful!! i went through starting from slow motion on playback speed to make sure there are no imperfections, then i sped it up each time when i got the hang of it and now i can memorise most of them.
It’s interesting to see the minor differences between what you do and me. I don’t know whether I do it wrong or they are irrelevant details that aren’t specified. C/D: I have all the fingers parallel with the index finger, not curling down behind it. K: I have my first two knuckles straighter. Q: I make the tail over the join of the fingers. T: I line up with the middle of the palm rather than the wrist. X: I have the right index finger behind the left one, like for W. Y: I don’t have a downward movement. I also have different ‘tightness’ in letters like L, M, N and S. I learnt the alphabet by myself as a young teenager over thirty years ago, when also Z was a crazy thing with the whole arm and the other hand under the elbow, so I just got into set habits.
Haha, on of my friends randomly taught it to me in primary school, just because they'd watched da video or something, and then it went round the whole school and everyone was signing thing using the whole alphabet. I've never forgotten it since.
Thank you so much for this! Being in the service dog community, I’m going to come across some deaf people and just being able to spell words is handy to know
I am 39 years old and when I was 16 I used to volunteer with the blind and deaf. One day a deaf blind woman taught me this kind of sign language and I've never forgotten it, but I never knew what it was called untill now.
I seen a video on TH-cam around 15 mins ago about a ‘deaf man vs drive thru’ and he was showing how hard it can be, this made me find this video so I can start learning bsl and I am so proud how quickly I am able to have learnt the alphabet from this video!
To all confused about k. First, point both of your index fingers. With your dominant hand, bend your index finger, and place the MIDDLE section (every finger has three sections) against the middle of the index finger on your OTHER hand. Hope this helps!!
im doing this for two reasons, 1 just cuz I think it might be fun to learn sign language and 2 because I might want to talk to a deaf person and know a few basic phrases or at leat be able to spell out words!
lee wightman I'm opposite. I can't sign my name. And I know my letters forwards, backwards(literally), the ASL...You'll get it. It might take longer than others, but you'll get out
For some strange reason (don't ask why) I'm British and I know ASL and honestly the ASL alphabet is so much easier I'm struggling to do the K sign for BSL xD
My father and mother are both deaf. I do not see them much due to the pandemic but I have never been able to have a proper conversation with them. When I was younger I have a sign language teacher but that did not really help. Thank you.
I had no idea that British sign language and Australian Sign language had the same alphabet, I guess it makes sense though. Also makes it easier to learn
Your five fingers on your hand are your vowels so A, E, I, O, U
This totally changed my perspective and helped me thank you
why did i only realise that now!
Nikki Maxwell and s
I only realised this fact after 90 minutes!
Funny
wow this was so much easier to understand just from having it with this perspective!
exactly agreed, when you don't look at it in this perspective it looks sort of different
Yes, I had been trying to follow other videos but only managed to pick up a few letters, but here I was able to clearly see the signs for each letter!
This video is absolutely correct cause my brother is completely deaf and can't talk we have big books of sign language my mam and dad had no choice but to learn how to sign language
since im bored in quarantine, i think im going to start learning bsl. i just want to be able to speak to a deaf person if i meet one. im drawing these out in my bullet journal, so this vid was very helpful! :)
I had the same idea! :)
It’s the middle of the night 3 days before school and I’m learning the alphabet in BSL lol
Same here! I'm also learning German sign language with my mum, but as I speak English more than German, I'm also learning BSL, but on my own
Na my school wants me to learn it
Im actually death so i am indeed learning sign language but i already know the alphabet but this is very helpfull for people who want to lean sign language
I thought ASL and BSL would be similar. Boy was I wrong
All sign languages are different, ASL is closest to FSL because that is where ASL originated.
I lived with a BSL teacher for two years and we couldn't come up with any actual signs that were the same.
BSL and Auslang are basically the same with the alphabet.
I'm deaf sign language but in USA and in UK BSL
Rachel D nzsl and bsl are practically the same
I think this should be taught at schools, it only takes 20-30 minutes to learn and allows so many people wider communication possibilities where they would otherwise feel secluded.
Also thank you so much for the video, it's extremely helpful :)
There was a British kid's show that taught BSL.
literally!! Me and this girl who like were friendly with each other got put next to eachother in maths and we were both bored so she started teaching me the alphabet and i remember pretty much all of it (few odd letters i forgot) and she taught me in like the last twenty minutes of the lesson yesterday) her and her friend have learnt and also one of my friends knows it and we tried talking to each other in it and he was actually pretty good. Its so quick and easy to learn and imo should be an option for language gcse
it is taught in school
It's so true it NEEDS to be taught in schools
plus this vid was super helpful
Off topic. What beautiful hands!
i'm glad you put the camera to show your left and right perspective it was easier and quicker to learn the alphabet knowing where the hell to put your hands and fingers, cheers!:)
Agreed! ☺
I'm fighting through a drug addiction and have to say learning sign language from TH-cam video's is doing wonders.
So is pointlessly commenting on TH-cam video's fuck me
im proud of you dude
I'm ans ASL (American Sign Language) student here in the states and I have to say it's really interesting seeing other countries versions of sign language... Maybe British sign language will be the next thing to learn. :)
Now I need to learn American
Indeed. I'm from Brazil and I thinked that BSL is much more visually expressive than LIBRAS (Brazilian Sign Language).
Irish sign language is very similar to asl
@@Legend.777wow there's irish too? i would've assumed that one would be really similar to BSL 🫠
@@bonjourmarlene nah, we got our Independence from Britain we dont want anything similar to them
Wow this is so much easier than i thought! After watching about 5 times and going over K 20+ times lol i know it perfectly! Good, thankyou!
i think "k" is confusing
same...
It really isn't once you know it XD
I think of it like the left hand is like the straight line in the K and the right hand is the curved/bent bit :D
Yep
Ya, this is three years later
I like to find comments that r 1 or more years ago and comment on them, don’t worry u r not the only one, I have done this to lots of other people so congratulations ur one of them😂😂😂😂

Omg me too!!!
I love BSL just because I love comparing it to ASL and seeing what's similar and how different the two are. Both are beautiful languages I love.
Oh, I now realise why the vowels are counted on fingers!
Wow. BSL is way different than ASL. I am fluent in ASL, 13 years old and hard of hearing .
The ASL alphabet is way easier for me. I am fully capable of hearing (slightly going away because I love to play instruments) and I am 15 and I was able to learn the ASL alphabet in less than five minutes.
me too
I kind of agree. Plus ASL you can do 1 handed.
Flabbymeat same, in my opinion, asl is easier for me
well, maybe that’s because I’m from the us lol
Same i am hard of hearing and fluent in asl
This is very helpful since I've been trying to learn it from pictures not knowing which perspective it was from and the picture was the wrong way round! Watching the video makes it much easier
I'm having a go at sign language after being inspired by Sophie Stone in Doctor Who so this is really useful
Lily Foley ahh so u watch doctor who, tell me about the new one, do u like it.

The hell, I did not write or post that
Yay now I've learnt the british and the american alphabet in sign language in less than an hour!😀😊
H.o.w i.s t.h.a.t p.o.s.s.i.b.l.e
Impressive!!!
impressive! took me about an hour just to learn this... yet i write down the hand movement instead of drawing... im very impressed.
*- Natalie sygrela kitty -* she said ALPHABET btw not the whole language 😂
Reborn Mum It took me a few mins, it’s a lot easier when someone teaches u in person I guess
I don't see alot from the signer's perspective, this really helped alot. Thanks!
Wow, this is much better from the signers point of view as I was getting muddled the other way watching someone, thank you.
I’m writing a book about someone who has to use bsl to communicate. This helped so much!!
took me under 10 minutes to learn this thank you.
K is tricky! Wow the letters really are different btwn bsl and asl tho i see the similarity in M and N. Thank you for this perspective!
Thankyou so much being trying to learn bsl so I could sign to a girl in my dance, having it in this point of view really helps
Phoebe Storm that is so sweet, I’m learning for my deaf uncle
I am learning in case I go even more deaf than I am or I lose my hearing aids so my mum, she doing it for the same reason as me
Aww that is so sweet. You're very kind. ❤
Wow this is the best video I’ve seen on here. The camera angle makes it easy to see properly. Much appreciated thanks! ✋🤚
Amazing and so easy to learn I’ve learnt it all in literally 5-10mins
Wow the way you did it so slow I can now do 'k' without getting muddled up since the majority of the comments are saying k is confusing so thanks!!!
TYSM , I'm new for BSL and you make it easier to get and understand it .
Good luck on your signing journey! ✋
omg this is so helpful!! i went through starting from slow motion on playback speed to make sure there are no imperfections, then i sped it up each time when i got the hang of it and now i can memorise most of them.

Just started a BSL course at Evening College - thank you for making my homework easier!
K is confusing 😂
are you a pro at k now ? three years on ;)
@@katherinejohns9974 I would like to know too lol
I guess we’ll never know if they mastered it
@@katherinejohns9974 I'm curious as well 😂
Haha, on of my friends randomly taught it to me in primary school, just because they'd watched da video or something, and then it went round the whole school and everyone was signing thing using the whole alphabet. I've never forgotten it since.
This perspective is so helpful, thank you!
I use this to communicate with my friends in art because we aren't allowed to talk, but she never said we couldn't sign
Oh man I wish more sign language videos were from this perspective. Thanks!
This has helped me a lot thx
So useful from this point of view
Thank you so much for this! Being in the service dog community, I’m going to come across some deaf people and just being able to spell words is handy to know
Is very very interesting
You are the best teacher 😀🙌❤️. Am doing the signs very fast🙌❤️🙌❤️🙌❤️🙌🙏. Thank You So Very Much🙏🙏
This really helped for my school work😂
Thanks you so much for making it the signers point of view.
Just learnt the alphabet (BSL) from you THANK U
omg i remember learning this in 2013, i forgot a few ltters but im so shocked on how much i remembered WOOOOW
Thanks for BSL
Really easy to pick up from this perspective
Thank you so much! I learned it in 5 minutes!!
I am 39 years old and when I was 16 I used to volunteer with the blind and deaf. One day a deaf blind woman taught me this kind of sign language and I've never forgotten it, but I never knew what it was called untill now.
Dear blind woman?
Well done I am British so thx so much
Thank you, I'm in Ireland but we use BSL

It's good I found this cuz I'm doing some sign language at school
This actually helped I managed to get the hang if it after watching the video about 4 times
I have learnt sign language since I was in year 7 and im now in college and I still learn it.
Really helpful from this point of view. Thanks!
This is so helpful , thank you so much !❤
Very helpful, thank you.
Wow! That is so wild! =) Way different from ASL. I would love to be able to do both ASL and BSL.
I'm English and also we do sign language so that help. I now how to spell my name now
To all confused about k. First, point both of your index fingers. With your dominant hand, bend your index finger, and place the MIDDLE section (every finger has three sections) against the middle of the index finger on your OTHER hand. Hope this helps!!
Thank you very much, it helped a lot 😄
Thank you 🙂🙂
I started to learn ASL before I realized British Sign exists (I'm British) and this is actually really helpful.
Took me a couple of minutes but I've learnt the letters to spell my name. Hopefully I'll be able to figure the rest out soon
Learnt this from watching once tysm
Your fingers and thumb are used for the vowels. A, E, I, O, U. Makes it easier to remember I think :)
im doing this for two reasons, 1 just cuz I think it might be fun to learn sign language and 2 because I might want to talk to a deaf person and know a few basic phrases or at leat be able to spell out words!
Thanks! I know how to do BSL alphabet now!
Very good! Thank you for this video!
i learnt this within an hour so now i think im going to move onto asl fingerspelling
Thank you, this was very helpful
This camera angle is so helpful. Would it be possible for any other videos to be shown from this angle?
Great I can sign but always have difficulty with the alphabet so I'm gonna watch it over and over so it's drilled in to my head
I have trouble with other things but the alphabet
lee wightman I'm opposite. I can't sign my name. And I know my letters forwards, backwards(literally), the ASL...You'll get it. It might take longer than others, but you'll get out
Thanks
Thanks I know it now, this is great
thank you this helped alot
Thank you! It's so much easier to understand from the signer's point of view
very helpful!! thank you!!
Thank you for this!
I learnt the alphabet at primary school and still remember it today .
Very informative
Thank you!
I'm starting to learn bsl for my cousin because he's a mute autistic ❤️
I should probably learn ASL but I think bsl would be cooler to learn also I wanna relearn sign language so this was helpful
that was great now i know my alphabet in sign language
And brillant actions👍👍
For k curve your right hand pointer finger and place it in the middle of your left hand pointer finger, that's just a simple way of putting it.
Thank you, this was much easier for me to understand and learn from than some other videos.
For some strange reason (don't ask why) I'm British and I know ASL and honestly the ASL alphabet is so much easier I'm struggling to do the K sign for BSL xD
There is different variations for K, also S
just realised i’ve been doing y and z the wrong way round for like 5 years 😬🤣
Thank you fro mocking this my kid is death so this help a lot thank you 🙏🏻 so much
i love this
soooooo helpful
My father and mother are both deaf. I do not see them much due to the pandemic but I have never been able to have a proper conversation with them. When I was younger I have a sign language teacher but that did not really help. Thank you.
i volunteer with kids and adults and it isnt neccessary to learn bsl but i think it should so i will
As a person learning ASL,
what is this
WOW..its like youve just worked out countries outside of America exist
I had no idea that British sign language and Australian Sign language had the same alphabet, I guess it makes sense though. Also makes it easier to learn
Waw Army silence yrs ago I remember now , I survived.ty4 this.
Cool alphabet😎😎
