100 Words in BSL for Everyday Conversation

I'm india from

I'm doing BSL 1 and I'm finding it hard going. This is the most helpful channel out there and beats the ones I've paid to subscribe to. It really is excellent. Thank you.

To say 'I can', would I use the sign for 'me' and then the sign for 'can'? Thank you for the amazing videos!!

Love your vids! Im learning the basics and you have the clearest explanations/descriptions!

Does it matter much if you sign with your left or right hand?

i’m learning BSL because my mum is deaf so this is so much help

👍👍

i really want to learn BSL but i have ADHD and i really struggle to sit through long videos so i’m trying my best to actually sit and watch this
but i will end up learning it somehow! i don’t know anyone who is deaf but i just think i might as well learn BSL because i’m going to come cross someone that speaks it at least once so anyway if your trying to learn like me just don’t give up because i’m sure you will need it!

Thanks for this! I'm Deaf native ASL (US) and I'm going to a workshop in the UK and possibly grad school so trying to become fluent in BSL so my interpreter isn't super confused 😂 i find it really funny that we sign "whore" for "everything" (in BSL) and our "stop" is your "sure" 😆

how do you know so much ???

Very helpful, thanks❤

I've been a job for 3 or 4 years now where I occasionally find myself having to interact with hearing impaired people. Those people usually have someone to help ineterpate for us.
But I think it would be much better if I could interact with people directly, more professional, better manners of me, to do so.
So in a bid to be better at my job I have taken it upon myself to learn BSL.
Your videos are extremly helpful, thank you.
Just need to learn how to string it all together to make for proper conversation. That will come with time and practive though.

Thanks for this! Wondering if in sign, you'd use the same "must" sign in these different contexts...
like for example: "he must go to the shop" (because he's required to) and "he must be here" (because we know it to be the case)

I've been learning BSL at college and these are totally different signs to what we've learnt!?

Hello Dan we love you're videos, I'm doing level 1 and need to learn seasons and weather, do you have a vid on it? we couldn't find any, my tutor was looking too. if not can you make a vid please. Thank you

I loved it... this is amazing you taught so many signs. I wanted to learn and learn again. I will practice a lot. thank you so much for your super helpful !! =)

Dan, should I use the lip pattern for all the words or just when the sign can mean different things?

After a laryngectomy, I can speak but it is a bit stressy. So I have been miming a lot, and writing.
This shows me how to do it; much is I think pretty understandable at first look.
I just have to practice. Many thanks.

So appreciative of your videos 🥰 thank you so much for sharing them!

I think i am managing to put some sentences together with these words, thank you!

I really find your video clips helpful for I did BSL level 1 ages ago and need to practice daily as to prepare for level 2. Thx Dan

I’ve wanted to learn BSL for ages, but what finally pushed be to start is a guy that goes to puppy training classes with me. He’s deaf and really struggled to understand the instructions given to him since no one there knows BSL. So I’m trying to learn a few basic things first to try and help him however I can. Hopefully one day I’ll be fluent enough to interpret for him to help him train his assistance dog.

Thank you very. much.

What I find difficult about BSL is the way that some words, such as "know" has a different sign to its own negative, e.g. "don't know" whereas in a spoken language the negation would be usually caused by some other word (e.g. "je sais" / "je NE sais PAS" in French). These videos are great, though. I'm addicted!

Hi 👋 I’m Honey Holland and l would like to know why do you do BSL?👋

Thank and God bless you.

Loved these…Thank you 👍👏🤗

Ive just started learning BSL and I'm shocked at how much I've subconsciously remembered from nursery school, and watching CBeebies as a child haha

As a Brit living in Australia learning Auslan, I always like to check for similarities and differences these videos are super helpful :)

Wow I talk with my hands , and I've just realised this is universal 🔥❤❤❤❤❤❤

Does it matter what hand you make the signs with. I think I’m doing it backwards 🤔

Thank you loving the videos. Watch every day.

So the same movement can mean more than one thing. And different movements can mean the same thing

Really useful. Is there a video with signs about the weather please? After all British people do like to discuss the weather.

I’m Lurning Sound Language at the moment. So This is Brilliant for me to watch and Lurn

Brilliant, thank you. Isolating at the moment, been meaning to learn some sign language to help with deaf customers at work. No time like the present

You dont make the signs completed at all have you got one that like couples say to eachother my partner is deaf

Some excellent new signs, thank you

does the hand matter? cause i do it with right...

may i ask a question? are you deaf sir? it's just a question.. or are you just teaching?
