Basic Conversational Questions and Answers in BSL 

4 bottles of wine, are you trying to get me drunk? 😏

lmao 😭

Not just you :)

yes!! I love him

Agreed

That's proper everyday conversation.

To say wine, take your hand and make a fist. extend the pinky and thumb out. Should look like this🤙. Bring it to your chest and then your thumb up to your mouth in the Sam position, repeat this motion twice. To say which wine meaning white, red or rosé- White: take your index finger and place it on either shoulder and pull of your shoulder Turing it into and upside down point. Red: curl your index finger a little bit, and place it the tip onto your lip and point but keep the curl in your finger Rosé: take your index finger to your cheek but do not directly touch it. Do circles quickly without bending your finger so it faces upwards. After any of these motions put wine in BSL after it.

which course are you doing? i'm a beginner trying to learn

@@Anna-xh6nc honestly anything you can find on a level 1 you can now find on youtube

And repeated them, making them *super* clear

I took my level 1 about 3-4 years ago now and I'm using this to brush up on BSL again.

@@Anna-xh6nc While it's true that you can probably find a lot of level 1 stuff on youtube now depending on your learning style you might find a structured class helpful. I certainly did. Having two hours of silence every week where a group of us signed helped me learn a lot of BSL.... and a lot about our teacher's unfortunate support for Hull football team lol

Now _that's_ what you call a 'good neighbour' 👏👏👏

How is it going 😁

@@rhianjones1561 it helps having someone who explains things so clearly.

Great suggestion, I'll add it into a future video. Thanks for watching! 🖐️

@@CommandingHands and I'm learning sign.. Please sign slowly as am a beginner. I know bits of this myself. Signing is more easy than reading a fast signing person give their answer. They need to slow down. I need to practice. Another sentence. Thanks.

What you do is I think in BSL it would be "You sign how"

In case you haven’t found it yet: Tea is this:👌🏻, with your dominant hand, tilt it towards your face like coffee, just with this hand shape if that makes sense lol

@@charlotterose2102 like how posh ppl drink tea...with two fingers

@@jayf5084 Yh I guess ahahah

huh

From what I've heard from a friend, makaton is different to BSL (possibly simpler??) but they are quite similar and generally signs from one can be understood by the other

British sign language is a separate language from English with different grammar rules and syntax ( order of words), the sentences are restructured to show the order of the words we should sign to make it easier for us. Hope this helps!

kinda like how french say chat noir instead of black cat... it has its own grammatical structure

im taking an online course right now and it includes bsl history... the person who started bsl gave it its own structure so the hearing/speech inpaired could have it easier or something like that... ima need to reread my notes 😂

Late to the day but think of your dominant hand as the 'writing' hand. That hand is generally more active in the signing

​@@quirkofchance924 that's actually really helpful, thanks ❤

@Holly Johns i was taught sugar was taking your index finger and rotating it where a cheek dimple would be

just looked it up and i think both are okay but predominantly shaking the first two fingers

I think he is showing the correct grammar as it will be beginners who are watching this, so we should learn the correct grammar at first, to then simplify it later :)

the sign for Batman is pointy ears on the top of your head ^ ^

because british sign language is not english, it's a whole independent language with its own grammar like other languages
