Welcome to the channel! This is the place where you can learn British Sign Language and become more deaf aware. I am a hearing BSL user and have been using BSL for over 15 years. Subscribe to the channel for BSL and Deaf awareness videos every week!
PLEASE NOTE: I speak in my videos to help hearing viewers understand and learn the signs. However, when practising/using BSL with a Deaf BSL user, you should turn your voice OFF.
ABOUT BSL:
British Sign Language is a visual language and is the preferred language of the British Deaf Community and is an official language of the UK. BSL is a language, distinct from English, with its own grammar and syntax. BSL has regional variations; different signs used in different parts of Britain. This channel tends to use regional signs used in London and the South East of England.

Thanks. Very interesting
You shouldn't be preaching BSL as it is not your first language, it is a cultural appropriation.
Thank you for these lessons, I'm learning BSL for my deaf friend that i recently met at a roller disco. I love your positivity & great instrucion! X
thankyou so much very helpful!
Fabulous! Just what i was looking for. Keep it up! x 🥰
these videos are excellent - thank you very much.
Your teaching style is amazing to follow, I found you through Commanding hands channel and subbed. Many thanks 🙂🤘
Thank you. Very helpful and encouraging
the background music is too loud and is competing with your voice
Thank you for your videos ! I'm enjoying them so much ! And learning loads
Fab video!
Hi, i love your lessons but could you mute that dreadful background music, makes it hard to concentrate
I love the way you teach but the music needs to go. It’s too distracting and very fast which makes it tricky to concentrate. Take that away and you have a brilliant teaching tool! 😀
Thank you, I found this very helpful. I will be coming back each week!
Wonderful tips and advice! Very many thanks indeed. 😊
Hi, I have a son with hearing loss and I really appreciate your videos! Recently he has had glue ear in both ears which has taken his hearing loss down to profound. I have found your videos so helpful! And wondered if I could suggest a topic for your next video, around “every day useful phrases with children / school holidays useful phrases with children”? Some of the signs that I would find so useful are: Wake up Brush your teeth Get dressed Wash your hands Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Picnic Park Theme park Play outside Garden Climbing Swimming Birthday party Play date with friends iPad Is your iPad running out of battery? Let’s charge it Hold my hand please Let’s cross the road Stop, look, listen Don’t run please Sit on your bottom please That’s dirty (i.e. in a public toilet) Don’t touch anything in here please Play nicely Sharing Whose turn is it? It’s your/my turn next/now Can you hear me? What did you say? What happened? 5 minutes until we leave Time to go home Did you have a fun day?
Thank you very much, you are an amazing teacher❤

Thank you! 🎉 Just what I have been looking for!
I did my BSL level 1 in Scotland where I'm from, but I moved to England and realised the signs were different here, so I did my BSL level 1 again in England to know/understand the differences. Someone said to me..... "remember, signing is language and all languages, despite which, all have accents in different areas. BSL is the same, the differences are just that...... accents"..... That stuck with me and I feel it's a good explanation too. Well, for me it was. I only sign because I enjoy it and it's nice to be able to communicate in BSL when I come across someone using BSL in the deaf/hard of hearing community. Thank you for this video, it's 11.38pm and I'm working tomorrow but all of a sudden, my brain decided to try and remember the signs for England Ireland Scotland Wales and that's how I ended up watching your video..... So thank you for this, it's very well shown/demonstrated. ❤
Very informative
Thanks x nice and clear x
That music is too loud!!! Can't hear properly!
I can't stop watching your videos!!! You're fantastic!! Thanks so much for helping us to learn BSL. You shine all the time.
Thank you! super helpful and engaging!! Do we have any Black BSL in the UK?
Thanks!
Thank you for this video! About to start my level 1, like you I wasn’t that good at language in school but I’m gonna go for it 💪🏻 looking forward to watching more of your videos :)
Very helpful, thank you
I love how you did this as phrases not just a list. I had to keep rewinding so I could work it out but in the end I got it! Thank you!
