I am losing my voice due to a neurological condition, so I'm learning to sign. Your videos are so helpful, and are giving me the confidence to carry on communicating, albeit in a different way. Thanks so much for putting this resource out there.

Shorter clips have been brilliant for fine tuning signing , expanding vocabulary and understanding sentence structure. Love the format you use really clear to follow .

🖐on another of your video you made you have used the full palm for 'stop' and this one is like a beak pecking for 'stop', and the other one i noticed is using the thumb into the palm for 'hard' and this one you use a fist. When there are more than one way for a word please keep using both in your videos as it gets confusing when i have learnt some signs only for them to change. 👍👍Thank you for making as these are great with lots of variety.

I’ve noticed that the hand with just the pinky finger sticking out is often used for words with negative connotations, like ugly, dirty, worse, fail etc. Is there a similar pattern with any other hand “positions”?

@CommandingHands 3 жыл бұрын

Good observation, the little finger extended is associated with a lot of negative signs. The thumbs up handshape is often used for signs with a positive meaning. Some handshapes are representative of shapes, for example a fist will often be used to describe anything spherical like a ball. Thanks for watching.

There's an online dictionary for bsl where you can search a word to see a video of the sign for it, if that helps...

@WW1 that helps but it's a case of finger spelling some driving terms. Thanks anyway

Isn’t what you sign “poor” (around 35:05-35:40) meaning brown? What about one index finger slide down from wrist to elbow? A bit confused. Thank you.

Are we ment to copy or mirror? or either?

@hannahdebs4616 Жыл бұрын

he uses his dominant hand to sign. So if you are also right handed, the signs mainly use the right hand (rotate yourself round to where he is and then do the same sign - his right hand does the same sign as your right hand), if you are left handed then you mirror him (his right hand is your left). Sorry, may not describe it in the easiest way but hope it makes sense.
