  • I understand some ^^)

  • Just finishing BSL level 1 tried but failed to get a volunteer position using BSL during my course here in South East Kent...

    Will check out your website..thankyou!!!

  • you doing so well and keep going on ;-)

  • haha, my friend fingerspells stuff so fast sometimes i miss letters and get the wrong thing haha

  • i dont know BSL but i can understand with face expression! good job from USA

  • I know this guy he did level 2 when i was doing level 1 =D GOOD WORK!

  • Reading your vid here, and I'm wondering if I should start volunteering my sign skills.

    I had to give my job up due to health circumstances years ago.

    I still sign, and teach it to anyone who wants to learn it, but I would like to get back into it more.

    I am unreliable were my health's concerned, and if interuption would cause the deaf person a problem if I couldnt be around for a while, thats no good for them...

    So, do I just give it up as a none starter?

  • I think it might seem sped up because the subtitles are in formal written English which is a subject/verb/object structured language, whereas he signs in BSL, a topic/comment structured language. it's common to expect sign language to have one sign for each English word, whereas generally one sign will represent a larger part of the sentence than that.

    Hope that helps.

  • I am an American Sign Language interpreter and while I don't know BSL, this seems to be at a fairly moderate speed and the signs are excessively separated, which is common for formal register. Interesting though, I was able to see similarities in some signs...others I was able to understand in context. He fingerspells the website so slow even I could make it out. lol (remember in ASL we have a 1 handed manual alphabet which is very different from the BSL version). :)

  • this isn't sped up, you think this is fast, try and watch some people use sign in a converstation where both people are deaf or just well practised, now thats fast.
