[pepsico8]

[Cutiekirsty08]

can i have help, would these signs b right as i live in wales, Britain?

[domoarigato7]

I surprised at some of the similarities between BSL and ASL when it comes to country signs. (I'm a hearing american studying ASL) Some people use the sign you used for germany here in the states and well, US is the same as well. :)

i'm deaf too- most of the signs were right but spain is not signed like that!! so is australia

[lwfstars]

I am deaf and a bsl tutor and I use the same signs as you cep for Australia and spain.

[FallenAngell45]

I'm deaf and some of the signs were wrong.

please try and study them more closley please.

[thefriendlywolf]

These are possibly due to region differences.

Nice video but I'm afraid some of your signs look odd.  Your signs for COUNTRIES, SPAIN, BRITAIN, AUSTRALIA, and GREECE are incorrectly signed... I will upload a clip of mine on countries and show you how they're signed properly. I am deaf and a native BSL signer, by the way.

it's a long time since you posted your comment but you should know rihtly yourself that signs can differ per region. I am from Northern Ireland and some of my country signs differ..it's the same with signs in Cornwall and those up North like for example around leeds or donny (Doncaster).

It all depends on where and who taught you, or where you were raised.

Excellent!! Lovely presentation. Keep adding more videos.

great vid - one thing tho: the sign for Germany looks a lot like the loser sign (L on the forehead). Have I misinterpreted or do we just think germans are losers?

[artofvision]

Sorry, but you are incorrect, the sign is not an "L" sign, nor is it similar to loser. The signs used are correct, however regional differences will always occur. The sign for Germany is, I believe similar to the German hat worn by some of the army if I remember correctly.

to the girl in the video...you are beautiful..i wish i could sign language like you and take you to the park one day lol

[chesterfieldcompo]

i must admit not seen spain signed like that, i am deaf. i thought the girl lip movements were good, that sounds dodgy! but keep it up. well done

i will try do a sign blog soon

I am learning American Sign Language but am very curious about BSL and want to learn it next. Do you happen to know of any differences between the two languages, in rules, sentence structure, grammar, hand shapes, whatever?

[artofvision]

Please visit our website to contact us in the future and we will address your questions there.

In answer to your question, as we haven't been on a BSL Course yet, we have knowledge of the fingerspelling alphabet and single signs, but not grammatical features of the language. We hope to take a course soon though!!

[SparkyCola3]

Ok. Thank You =)

[SparkyCola3]

I really like your vids, they're very helpful - I was just wondering though, does it matter which side you do the signs on? Thanks - Elin

[artofvision]

That is a very good question. If you are left handed the alphabet is inverted, but it can vary with general signs. It's likely that other people will understand what you are signing, but it's best to keep to what you see other people signing. Hope this helps.

I'm studying to be a sign language interpreter and I'm learning Danish sign language.

It doesn't matter which hand you use, if you are using your right hand for most purposes I recommend you to use your right hand to sign, and your left if that's the hand you use the most. I personally don't find it harder to understand people who sign with their left hand, and deaf people can be both left- and right-handed like anybody else, and they still understand each other perfectly fine.
