ASL and BSL Similarities and Differences | A Conversation With a BSL Teacher 

🤩 Hi Meredith, we really enjoyed comparing BSL and ASL. We look forward to doing more together.

Loved this brilliant 👏. I am on level 2 bsl and really enjoyed watching the difference between ASL and BSL.

I loved this! Well-done, both of you! And my favorite part was learning the BSL sign for "dog," which is, by far, the cutest sign I've ever seen. Thanks very much, both of you, for this wonderful video!

This video was very interesting. Seeing how much sign language is different between England and USA is awesome. I know they have different words for many things than what we use. Thank you Meredith for these videos!

Please do one on musical instruments! Yeah I could totally see you doing signs like that, and it would be great with your kids!

You’re conversation was extremely interesting! So beautiful!🥰❤️

I really enjoy learning the language and hope to receive updates from you

Thank you Meredith. Well done! Keep it going!!!!

Fantastic video! Thank you both for this fabulous comparison between BSL and ASL! 👋

Would love more like these!! BSL or other countries/regional sign languages 😊

this was super interesting !!!! loved the video and dialog between you two.

Amazing love the video and to see the differences

Excellent video. Thank you very much for sharing. One funny fact, the sign for "England" in BSL is a curse sign in LSM (Mexican Sign Language).

Great one. In Nigeria we learn more of ASL than BSL. I learnt ASL interpretation. It's great to see BSL

This was really interesting. Thank you for doing it.

Interesting to see the similarities and differences

I want to watch and listen to this, but I can’t invest an hour right now. So I’m going to watch/listen to your 9 minute post below now, and come back to this.

This helps me so much You should do more collab videos Kudosssss💖👑😘

Yeah these differences were so amazing

WHAT only 5 comments you deserve 5000 comments because you are so great and have been teaching me so much thank you! (Ps I am also an ASL nerd lol 😂)

What a wonderful comparison. I have only found this video by accident today! (11-14-22). I would have great difficulty learning the British alphabet. I like the American alphabet because each letter "looks" like the letter (in most cases). ASL letters use only one hand. In BSL, there is a need to use both hands at times---just too difficult. My age and memory difficulties wouldn't have a thing to do with that, of course---LOL!! 😀

This should get more likes and I subscribed I LOVEEEE THIS CHANNEL

Fantastic

I remember back in school when I was a child these people came in the room after the teacher announced we had special visitors... handed out books.. pointed to what we should read it discussed our senses in addition The sixth Sense... I felt compelled to not look at them... they explained everyone's getting the books don't talk to anyone about what you're reading don't talk to each other about what you're reading they said individually while handing the books out.. maybe they're reading something different maybe they're not ..but then they pointed to this little paragraph where to read. Then they picked up the books and they left.. I wonder what that program was at the time and how often they were doing that.?

Really interesting. The BSL alphabet seems really complicated, using two hands. Would be great if you could find other people to discuss other sign languages.

Have you done a video on ASL slang and idioms? That would be fun

And more importantly I feel compelled to search the world for someone who's had the same experience... I know all the people in that particular classroom did of course.

I guess best chance would be learning alphabet in whatever language you're trying to communicate in.. plus learning that language as much as possible spelling.... Also the concept of telepathy.. whereas I have a working knowledge in I wonder although it's very esoteric.. maybe a conversion can be made.

A little orientation you can experience what you like I suppose they would arrive from a distance to allow you to see them you'll know when to look up

Woahhhh I didn’t even know about BSL. What a ride

What about Australian and New Zealand sign language?

LOL, 51:30 I thought she was saying "I have a side arm!" hahaha...

Would you be able to get into contact with someone speaking BASL? Black American Sign Language is something I want to learn along with ASL and I havent been able to find signers online to help.

i would say make a video on medical help/care

can you make a video on how to get better at reading asl?

I have a question I am learning sign language right and I don't know which to use ASL or bSL unless theres more what should i use

Which bags an obvious question.. fertility can be sensed population rather can be sensed and fertility reacts.. in an ideal scenario

Love go

It is really traumatic to find out how bad and behind is USA compared to the UK and EU . If you are an adult in the USA and need Sign language you are not able to find a place to learn it . I am deaf , read lips and since pandemic started I have been looking for a place to learn ASL in Florida and I haven’t been able to find it . I do not need a degree in ASL . Even calling the local college, Miami Dade College , no one could give me information. Still looking to connect with the deaf community. I need to learn ASL because it is close to impossible to get help in medical facilities . It is really traumatic

It's also impossible to disbelieve the telepathy ..we all have latent abilities to some degree.. as a matter of fact resource tool that we utilize continually.. to most it's intuition.. on a subdued level

I think most of this also goes for Dutch sign language 😄

I’m BSL and ASL are very different 😊

Regimented eating is systemic suicide... Such a tough thing for us we're so happy resilient and tough like Rolex watches.. and people could just realize what they have so close to their grasp.. at remedying so many ailments.

Contribution I'm trying to make is to assist humanity a little more resilient.. and become aware of our cravings for food and drink.. we need to stop extrapolating what nutrition is for the foremost do not let anything pass the gate of entry without meeting criteria of desire. This helps chemical balance in the brain etc. To be more stable and resilient .. to perceive and conceive reality.... And don't force water.. a pet peeve of mine.. people are so effing stupid sometimes.. working science we have to live with it though.

Something we must learn hopefully not the hard way.. eliminate the word want ... We might say disillusionment and replace it with enjoy

She's the epitome of a professional student

Can you help me with a sign my little brother does? I don't know what it means

My recurring childhood memory after being carried back to the room the grey alien apparently Id consider him tall gray alien.. as it seemed he was looking down from rather high around the corner.. at me explained formulating essence of words with his mind.. it's better this way... Didn't formulate words for this but he meant subdued state.. some very common Hallmark things were left as evidence on that particular encounter.. me across the bed slightly angled nude on top of folded sheets and clothes folded in the middle of the floor.. and then what seemed like levitated in the morning and dropped down onto the bed a bit.. I set up and said out loud calmly.. I must have been abducted.. my impression was the whole family was I was laying in the room with them downstairs before. And remembered the entering of the house by them.. was curled up looking away on the floor but could hear clearly the encounters my family was having.. discussion was made that I should stay there one of them watching me. But apparently I got to be one of the research subjects also.. what they did or didn't do to me I can't remember that part.. as of yet.. I guess that's my initial encounter.

Yo don't u think we should have a global sign language? For travellers and ppl who loves exploration

Although English and Spanish logically would be closer to universal I guess both English.. maybe there's Castilian Spanish sign language..

Trust your memory you can learn Spanish.. a mental block for a lot of people in the states.. kind of a dichotomy between English and Spanish with admonishment... But the sign language for Spanish and English both.. pretty good project.. my neighbor speaks four languages fluently.. 8 working.. black lady who used to be in soap operas wants to be an ambassador she said.. I think maybe disillusionment she probably should have stayed in soap operas.

I thought I would investigate sign language 150 to 300 different varieties no universal.? I need the sign for oh my God...

I'm pretty sure my first alien encounter was after that classroom event.

You should observe a gradient of health overall improvement weight loss etc the balance will be good you'll be stronger.. with patience try to understand we are sensory feedback machines.. food is yummy.. but don't make it your life make it a resource.. it needs to process be broken down into glycogen.. try to understand your unidirectional lymph node circulation within this circuit.. the glands also

Of course precipitates longer life.. how to struggle through the muddy zones... Basically just hang on to something and hold your breath... At worst.. but make sure you eat what you feel like in the way you feel like.. and keep forgetting that your body is throwing off excess moisture and that's why somehow you need to put more in no no.. only thirst is your dictator of that particular substance known as water which of course pure water has no value it's even dangerous if you can manage to obtain some from a laboratory.

Would you like to make Russian sign language videos? ))

Let your body circulate hydration is not as simple or complicated as it seems.. your body has different forms of hydration blood mucus etc must be present and in dynamic functioning as necessary. Try not to put constituent catalyst mucus one of them down the toilet. Supposed to reabsorb in the colon ideally.

It's almost impossible to believe that's a true story

When we think about the witnessing the probability we have to be very extremely myopic not to believe what we here or witness isn't real in our skies.. all of the individuals passing polygraph test... As we extrapolate that maybe they just believe what they see ... kind of out of phase with probable logic.

America alphabet is better. all those crazy signs if you need to spell something would be difficult.
