Basic British Sign Language | Learn BSL with Alice | ARTWORKS 

Yeah I’m autistic ❤️

@@Kassiedoesstuff4life not autism, mute people

@@definitelynotavaa some people with autism have selective mutism that’s why they said that

@@a.spe2419 oh ok

Here because I’m teaching my friends infant daughter with selective mutism from trauma BSL. (And some makaton symbols) She’s really loving it!

wym talk 😭

Hello! I'm not comfortable using facial expressions either. I know it's a good idea to mouth what you're signing, because some words have the same sign and people will rely on the shape of your mouth to understand. But I don't use facial expressions and I've never had issues. Good luck with your signing!

thank you! :)@@harrietbrown6415

Facial expression is very important in BSL. it tells us what you're saying and how you're feeling. We need see you eyebrows up to show a 'aha' kind of meaning. Eyebrows down, is show us a queasiness or your not sure. Frown Check bore Tongue out 2 cheeks blow out All these things vital to us. If you don't use expression we don't know what you're saying, is it negative or positive? Also you need to NOT teach yourself BSL from learners. Many signs are wrong and so you're learning wrong sign. BSL is our language, we want people respect this. We don't want people who are learning teaching others who want to learn.

I'd say BSL

depends what country u live in

Hi Richard, we don't run BSL lessons ourselves, we run art sessions for people with learning disabilities, autism or both. If you are interested in finding out more about ArtWorks our website is www.artworks-sy.co.uk

@@artworkssy ah I see. My apologies. Maybe I have contacted the wrong person. But moving forward yes maybe a good contact for me. Thank you

Diamond is a naughty word!

Ask her if you did it correctly

CORRECT!!!!!!!!!

Nicely said. I started learning BSL today, but fortunately watched some better quality videos. It was confusing me why things didn’t match up and I thought maybe the language had changed. Now I know this is just sloppy work. Am pretty sure the sign for evening is wrong as well. Should be two motions in the same direction, like half of night (or dark, think it’s the same I couldn’t make it out before)

Why does it bother you, some people have deaf relatives or friends and want to be able to communicate with them, if u don’t have anything nice to say don’t say it😁

What are you talking about? I work with Special Needs Children and a lot of them want sign language but none of us know only do the most basic Monday-Friday so I think this is a great thing to learn. If you don't like this just don't watch.

​@@jasminenjoroge1667 literally my deaf father its way easier to learn if you teach even the basic things to other people who are keen to learn a little

Why no subtitles for deaf people please?

Because we can't HEAR it. Subtitles inportant. So please use subtitles.
