God i got so excited when i put together the name

TIP: all vowels are on one hand, with A starting from the thumb.

i have a gf who lives in england who’s mute, so i’m really glad i found your channel to help me learn bsl

Is her name Scarlett? This is an excellent resource as well, having the different viewpoints was really helpful!

I’ve been wanting to learn BSL for years as my mum is severely deaf and my sister is profanely deaf. This was so helpful thank you so much :)

Thank you. I've known the alphabet since I was about 12, but I get in a pickle with which hand to use as I'm dominantly left, but use both. So seeing this from both angles really helps. The lady's name was Scarlett. :D

Gonna be watching this video on repeat. I'm American and learned the very basics of ASL as a kid and with taking care of kids. It had potential to come in handy when I was in hospital and intubated, but couldn't talk. I tried signing to the nurses. I'm applying for my UK visa soon, and figured I should learn BSL too. Thank you for this video!

I got Scarlett too. Learning as a leftie :) Very helpful!

I have not felt such satisfaction with learning something new for a long time. Her name is Scarlett, and I can introduce myself to someone who is hearing impaired. It's 3am and I'm learning new stuff from these videos. Thanks!

Scarlet! Finally went through 10 times with no mistakes. Now to just keep practicing and learn. More words and phrases. Thanks for the videos!!!

The signer's view is super helpful thanks a lot!! Scarlet

2:18 is right handed (signer point of view) it was the most helpful part for me

omg yes this is so helpful I am right handed and I did it along with you changing the video speed from slowest to normal speed and done it a few times with the video and now I’ve just done it 3 times without the video! Learnt the alphabet in one evening, less than an hour ! Thanks so much

Such a clear and easy to follow video! So pleased that I got the name correct at the end 😊

Maybe you could do a series which are like little tests to see what we have learned. I liked the name test you did at the end of this video. I didn't pickup all the letters but figured it out in the end.

Your videos are the most helpful and clear to understand, please keep them coming.

Been wanting to learn sign language for ages...just came across your videos and your really good didn't realize it was different for Americans, so glad I found the British ones. Trying to get my hands in the correct way is a little getting use it, but I'll get it. Thank you for uploading your videos and glad I came across them.

The viewpoints for both hands are the best thing ever, thank you so much.

Brilliant sign language lesson, thank you. I knew the alphabet from years ago but had forgotten some of the letters. Would love some more videos from you, please.

That K gets me everytime!

Thankyou for this video. Very helpful and easy to follow. I know at least half the alphabet just from watching once. Great work

Crazy! I'm 47 years old and learnt how to sign letters at around aged 10 and never forgotten. Guessing its partly muscle memory and I can't even remember who taught me but it's all there! Thought I'd check this video that it was still correct and 37 years later it's all still there! I think ALL kids should be taught to sign as a second language and part of the curriculum.

The different point of view is a life saver. Corrected a couple of issues.

Was about to write a comment saying how I just can't seem to get the alphabet, then you magically started doing it from the signers point of view. Thank you 😊

You are the best sign teacher everrr!!!!!!! I actually did it. I learnt the alphabet. I'm actually proud of myself now😂 and I understood it aswell. I'm having a hype overload now, that's really made me happy😂😂 thank youuuu ♡♡

i’m working with someone who is deaf and by watching your videos, we’ve been able to communicate with each-other. i need to learn how to answer questions better because when he asks me things, i often end up signing ‘sorry, my minds gone bank’ 😂 thanks for all of your help Dan!

I've started learning because we have a few deaf customers and I'd like to make them feel a little more comfortable thankyou for these videos x

I came here to remind me of BSL from forever ago, because I was so moved by Rose's performance on BBC's Strictly this evening, well done Rose 🌹 x

I can hear but due to radiation treatment for cancer many, many years ago, I can now no longer talk. This is so good for me. im teaching my grandchildren and my walking group and my daughters cleaning lady and anyone who will be patient with me. happy I found your site. 🙂 thank you

Scarlett? Thank you for these videos, they’re helping me with my best friend 😊

I loved this! Hoping to start learning BSL as I have with it being lockdown and its always interested me :) would you do anymore lessons from the signers point of view?

I love your channel sir. I really am getting better at sign language. I was deaf for pretty much my whole life and some people at my school now keep asking me how to do what in sign language. You really help 👍

This was so helpful, thank you!

Subscribed, thanks. I was super excited when I saw people had Scarlett in the comments because I thought it was that after one play.

Love this channel so much. Bloody legend you are

I have always been interested to learn to Sign and thought that anyone who could Sign the whole alphabet must be some kind of mystical genius. I realise now that this can't be true.....because I can now Sign the alphabet 😉 thanks to these videos. Thank you! Your videos are clear, at a good pace and easy to follow. And the name at the end is Scarlett I think 😊.

I know this is a old but good video but I thought I'd comment anyway. I like how you did it from pov and from infront. I also wish you spoke in your modern videos/ shorts as I find it helps confirm/ elaborate each step. Haven't worked out her name yet will comment again after practice. Thanks for your great videos and work as always, keep teaching 😊

Now I know the whole alphabet and can spell name. Thank you!

Thanks so much for both the right and left handed alphabet. Interestingly I'm Right Handed but I sign left to right so therefore the left handed alphabet visually made so much more sense to me. If I'm teaching others obviously I switch hands but it's more laborious and slower which is fine for beginner learners of course but for me it feels awkward and clumsy.

Absolutely love this channel I’m learning from your channel the BSL I’m an absolute beginner, I’m registered deaf and should have learnt this years ago. How long does it take the average person to learn the basics of BSL and how many hours a week or day to retain what you have learned. Keep up the amazing videos.❤️👏🇬🇧

Very well explained 👏🏽

Thanks. I've been learning the alphabet as a right-hander, but been confused by some other videos and descriptions because they often don't explain that theyre demonstrating left-handed signing. I thought I'd been oearning incorrectly until you clarified this.

Thank you for this!! Name at the end.. Scarlett

Thanks you so much! Can't wait to learn more~ This helped me the most ✨💜🖤 2:17

Thanks you soo much for this video it's really helpful 😊❤️

This is so helpful i am not deaf bug really want to learn so thanks so much

Thank you soo much for helping me lear sign language. We never did it in school and now i have leant so much stuff in less than a hour 😊👍🏻

This is SO USEFUL having the hands only view 👍

Great video thanks

Wanted to learn BSL for years. One of my wife's family is deaf and she's getting married to another deaf person next year. Would be good to learn at least a few basics before the wedding day.

I learnt fingerspelling in brownies and im trying it out again this is so helpful!

her name is Scarlett! These videos are really helpful for learning, keep it up!

Hey Dan, I'm waiting to see audiology with my 5yo , we already use some hand signals and flash cards but I already knew some very basic signs and have been using your videos to try learning more just incase my son needs to learn too then I can help him , he can speak and hear but his speech is very delayed and he struggles and gets frustrated when people don't understand him and as his mum it upsets me too as I know he wants to communicate so between this and makaton with Alfie we are learning together. Thank you for making these videos because even if callum only needs wee grommets or his hearing is fine we will still have learned something worthwhile and hopefully be able to use it in the community to help someone else 💖💖

Hello All, I am slowly teaching myself BSL through these fascinating videos, getting there slowly. It took me a while even for the 'penny to drop' learning the alphabet that the stock five vowels a-e-i-o-u are all simply signed on the thumb and sequenced four fingers! Once this I realised this it made spelling much easier! Sorry for being slow to pick this up!

Thanks for the content. I think I'll really get the hang of this. I just don't know when I can practice with someone to know if I'm doing a good job or not.

I knew the alphabet and I nearly cried the day I found out I was doing it in ASL

I picked this up in 20 min great video

I'm genuinely ambidextrous and I find myself swapping over from right to left from time to time.

I am learning BSL and it is marvelous

Thank you - since learning the alphabet I'm signing to against a metronome to try to improve pace and speed 🤗

Just started learning BSL .The video is quite easy to follow. Her name is Scarlett

Nice to meet you Scarlett 😊

I genuinely don't know whether I'm right-handed or left-handed at times, so the dual perspective really helps! 😅

I would love to be able to communicate with deaf people but all the apps are expensive so this is really helpful. Thanks.

Hi Dan. I practised the alphabet signs and I was surprised how they stick with me. I've always wanted to learn BSL, and also makaton and ASL, just as an interest. Thank you for this resource, I've enjoyed learning, and the different angles are really helpful

This was cool I had to slow it down since I can't process things very well but otherwise brilliant :)

This is useful I kept confusing my hands while watching some videos trying to follow along with them lol 🤣

Ooh! Scarlett! Nice name :)

Many Thanks Commanding hands I've learnt so much. Her name is Scarlet

Great videos. Can you do some of the nursery rhymes in bsl? Many thanks

2:21 is the best version

I had to run it 3 times, but then I got it. What's the sign for "Please repeat" ? :-)

Scarlett!❤ My name is pretty long, this will definitely be a challtenge😂

I had to rewatch her finger spell her name several times, but finally got that it's Scarlett! Would've had to ask her to repeat several times irl 😂

i seem to be going between both hands as right and left mixed is that a problem i will need to fix? will it make any difference? today was the very first video i have ever watched with sign as im wanting to learn.

I am good doing sign language

My mum taught me this alphabet 50+ years ago. Most of it is the same as I learnt. However although I am right handed I use my left hand for the vowels & am aware I probably swop hands rather than using the left or right hand consistently. Do I need to relearn to use the left or right hand consistently pl. thx

I find it helps learn by singing the alphabet song at the same time.

Hello, thank you for the great video! Is her name Scarlet?

Thank you for this the name at the end is Scarlett

Yay her name is scarlet my happiness when I knew I felt so accomplished yet deaf people learn this when they can't hear. How they do it is insane I give a pat on the back for that

I learnt a name in BSL!

Scarlett!🎉

I was acually so excited to learn this, Her names Scarlet right

great content showing from both sides, only complaint is that you change from one sign to the next very fast

I found your channel with your 100 bsl words video and was wondering if M and mother are the same sign?

i’m not sure if your going to reply but while i do sign language i’m more comfortable using my left hand even though i’m right handed is that normal and does it matter?

Now i can sign the whole alphabet in 10 seconds!

Good grief…as an ASL user…I can say without question this finger spelling system is much more difficult lol. In ASL you can make every letter with one hand…plus BSL sign for KZfaq is our “kill” or “murder” lol. Thank you for the video though…gonna practice everyday. How do you guys spell something if you have something in your other hand?

Scarlett

s 3:12 k 2:51 Y 3:27

jus wondering what a finger space is

Im an ASL user learning the BSL alphabet purely to flex

Scarlett!!

Important Tip: Don't forget to put your finger together for consonants like this"✋" irrespective of the variations and put your fingers slightly apart for vowels like this "🖐️".

Me guessing her name: I struggled on the first letter and I didn’t want to rewind so I started on H and got them all right and then I figured it out :)

coolll

Scarlett - I've known the BSL alphabet for years (my old friend had a deaf uncle who taught me). I've always wanted to broaden my knowledge past spelling but I've never really gotten it down, I think the order of words (topic first) has always confused me... That plus having terrible coordination 🤭

I like to do the alphabet with my right hand and other signs with my left since I am left handed

Is it easier to read bel? Or asl? I bet Val because two hands must slow it down
