I feel like for someone growing up with BSL learning ASL must be similar to me growing up speaking German and learning English. Some words/signs are the same or very similar, but it's still a completely different language.
German is so weird as an English speaker. English and German spellings both became standardized at basically the worst possible moment, because it was shortly before or during massive sound shifts. But not being able to speak any French, it's surprisingly easy to read and pick out the main ideas because we stole all their spellings.
@@Kaeinlya I actually think German spellings are fairly phonetic, especially compared to English.
@Solar powered potato except for loan words that can be spelled in a German or in a "foreign language" or in a mixed way. Same goes for pronunciation
Interesting what you say about the root language - ASL was based on French Sign Language, because the people who developed BSL basically refused to share. Charming!
Yah I was suprised when I learned this when I took ASL1
This is one of my favorite pieces of trivia about ASL vs BSL
I love how you always say "ooh" about your own outfit 😂😂 you are so fun
I love finding out the differences between ASL and BSL, and any other national Sign Language, but I've always been more intrigued by our own regional variations. It struck me with your sign for 'present' because that one is more connected to the giving or receiving of a gift, whereas my sign (either Manchester or Liverpool) is more reminiscent of the bow on top of a present.
You two should meet up for the next collaboration!
Yes please!
The ASL/BSL differences are so interesting
When in ASL she signed eve she was actually just spelling it. Your sign for turkey is similar to the ASL sign for pig except all the fingers stay together
and the ASL sign for dirty (all the fingers wiggle like BSL turkey except they aren't bent)
While I prefer BSL (not only because I'm Canadian and Canada is part of the Commonwealth and our countries are interwoven but that my heritage is English and I grew up in a very English household) its interesting that you can see how each sign makes sense in its own way. I'm getting a really interesting lesson on BSL and learning all the different sign language. The other day when you taught us how to sign Merry Christmas, I just went around the house signing it all day and I've been waiting to find a deaf person who I can wish Merry Christmas to! lol
For some reason, my brain didn't realize that fingerspelling is different! It didn't hit me until the spelling of 'eve' in 'Christmas Eve' and 'Kwanzaa'
ASL is a one handed alphabet and BSL uses both hands. ASL has different signs for all the vowels, and BSL counts them out by pointing to fingers on you other hand.
They are basically unrelated linguistically because ASL was developed in part by a French man named Gallaudet working off of French Sign Language (LSF). BSL was developed completely independently. Most sign languages are not tied 1 to 1 with the spoken language of their country.
I think you might be one of the only UA-camrs who I don't mind watching a full 29sec advert for 😊
I recognized "We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year" in BSL without reading what it was! I can show it now thanks to your tutorial
Genuinely, do you know what a great person you are? You have the most informative and genuinely lovely channel. So glad you decide to put your precious energy into youtube.
What a nice ending- with Claudia, steaming food, you two in front of the tree and a cute little pup saying hi to you in the bath. Too adorable.
Okay but I was literally thinking about how great a collab would be with you two THIS MORNING. I have powers, apparently.
Hey Jessica, I have been troubled by lots of illnesses for most of my life and only recently we finally figured out what was actually wrong with me. Since my diagnosis and the beginning of treatment I have improved a lot. However, I was still (quite impatiently) waiting for the moment I will finally be ‘normal.’ I have been binge-watching your videos for the last few days (and it’s my exam week, not the best of ideas) and I feel that watching you has made me feel a lot better about myself. It will not be the end of the world if I don’t get completely healthy (and being realistic, I never will, because it is chronic). You showed me how amazing you can cope with it and made me that I wasn’t just able to cope with it just fine, but that I actually already am!
I really enjoyed this video! I particularly loved hearing your explanations of the signs. I think for those of us who don't know any sign language at all, it's interesting to hear the reasoning regarding why certain signs might be the way they are.
I am mostly fluent in ASL, last year I took the time to learn through youtube, the alphabet in BSL. It amazed me. I still remember the alphabet but I struggle with spelling using BSL. I always seem to revert back to ASL. I would love to see a video about the colors or even numbers in BSL. I know in BSL when you get to 6, it is completely different then ASL.
I love this! I plan on taking an ASL class next semester and I am excited. I work with little ones and sign language is so beneficial when they haven't developed vocabulary yet.
The end of this video is so warm and Christmassy and it just feels like a real home.
So neat seeing the two different languages compared to one another! 🌲🎁🎄🎅🤶
Watch koe no katachi! It's a Japanese anime movie but I'd love to hear your views on it if possible as the female lead is deaf 🌸
Duskleaf A beautiful, touching movie with accurate JSL
This was so interesting!!! I'm just starting to learn BSL and am finding all of the videos really great to watch :) I can't wait for you to open your PO Box though!! I'm dying to see your reactions! ❤️❤️❤️
Jessica already has a PO Box. :)

(Or do you mean you have sent something, and can't wait for her to open the thing you have sent? )
Maghouin Beg hi!! Yeah I sent something to it a little while ago and I'm dying for them to open it!!! 😄 ❤️❤️
Please do more of these. I am fascinated with your videos partly because of the differences in ASL & BSL not to mention your way of handling your various disabilities. It's a struggle
I tend to sugar coat so that others can't see the toll it takes on living or atleast it does for me.
I'd love to do an ASL/BSL collab with you! Or really, any collab!
I came over from Rikki's channel and have only seen this but you already have a new subscriber. Your videos are so beautifully filmed that I lost track of time watching this video and didn't even realize that it was 16 minutes long (which is impressive only because I have a short attention span). Your fashion is also amazing and you just seem like a genuinely cool person. So hi! I don't know much sign language, just a little ASL but I am a linguaphile so language differences/similarities of any sort make me SO happy with life. You doing the ASL/BSL comparison won me over as a suvsriver.
I’ve been home sick unable to be very productive the past few days, and you have kept my spirits higher than usual! It’s so nice to not feel alone and be reassured that everyone’s “normal” is different, and that one day too I can hopefully find someone who loves me just the way I am! Thank you for helping my days go by a little easier:) you’re such a breath of fresh air!
This was amazing. Thank you for sharing these differences. I found you several months ago from Rikki's channel. I think the BSL signs were more creative or descriptive, prettier even than our ASL signs, of which I'm still learning. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Hi Jessica. I know you seem to wear more 1950 clothing but I just wanted to tell you about the 1940s weekend we have every year in September, it’s in Sheringham and Holt (NorthNorfolk), lots of people dress up and the town also gets a 1940s makeover, its very fun. Not sure if you read this comment and if you do I apologise if sound a bit gibberish yay for spell checker thingy otherwise it would be a lot gibberish,I should not be writing when tired it’s taken me like an hour. Keep smiling 🙃🙂
I really love this. My boyfriend is English and we spend a lot of time pointing out how different we say things. It is so fascinating that BSL and ASL is so different.
I loved the way you shot the dinner that you had. Especially the ending, very creative.
So good to see you having a bit more pep in your step 😊
That's a sharp looking turban :)
Showed this to my fiancé and he loved the ASL/BSL comparison bit! Please do more fun educational collabs in the future! ☺️🎄
I think it was pretty interesting knowing the Indiana ASL signs. Some of the states have varied signs and seeing the difference between that ASL and BSL vs what I know is so cool!
You always look so glamorous! Like a 50's celeb or something. It is so gorgeous! Also, this video was very interesting because I know to some level ASL and when I came to your channel, I was like "Those words are different" so this was great!
I love how happy smiley and informative you are...i also cannot get enough of your style.. happy Christmas from you're new fan!!!
I love watching your channel. I'm from Texas, USA and of course I'm learning ASL, so to watch BSL is for sure super entertaining for me!
I know a tiny bit of Irish sign language and it was really interesting even just to compare the little bits I know with the American and British! Great video
I nearly freaked out with excitement when I saw that today's vlogmas was a collab for both you and Rikki Poynter. It was so hard to decide which one to watch first. But huge huge YES to another collab with you ladies showing the differences between BSL and ASL.
Maybe a cool challenge would be that you and Rikki learned ASL & BSL greetings then tried to sign them from memory? Something fun like that maybe.
Hello! I loved the way you filmed the food; it looked delicious! I actually was in Brighton a year ago (for a term abroad), and every time a video features food or something cool about Brighton, it makes me want to go back!
The candle was a lovely ending!!
I am learning ASL and it is very interesting how different the two are! I would love to see more comparisons of them! I was looking for sign language youtubers when I found your channel earlier this year! Although ASL and BSL are different, I am still interested in how you use your signs. It is amazing how language evolves!
I was just going to mention that in Makaton we "draw" the Christmas tree but you beat me to it!
Great video !! Wow, sign language is really interesting! Really enjoyed you two comparing BSL and ASL. Would love to see more of that!
Yes they still releasing newer version of tamagotchi. Also, your turban is so pretty
That thali looked great! Sounds like you were able to eat all of it, which is great !
I love the since for Channukah! And it's interesting that the sign for 'holiday' (not vacation holiday) is Christmas.
My mum used to use real stockings for our Christmas stocking, so actually the sign makes complete sense in my family!
Loved the comparison ASL AND BSL. I always find myself trying to read BSL when watching your videos, even though I know its not the same as ASL.
I've noticed from watching your videos that BSL is simular to Auslan (Australian sign language)
It's 19th century politics. ASL is derived from French Sign Language cos the USA had a strong relationship with France after independence. Australia was probably still a colony when BSL was introduced.
spankeyfish I thought it was cause the guy Gallaudet brought over to create ASL was a French deaf guy from this really good French deaf school
This was the perfect video for what I was looking for the other day!! We r learning to sign for my youngest daughter and we get very confused as to which signs to use. We much prefer the bsl way to sign we wish you a merry Christmas.
It would be super interesting to watch a video of you trying to communicate with someone who only knows ASL!
I’ve been seriously loving your vlogmas - and that green dress + turban combo are stunning ☃️
When you sign Turkey in asl that’s practically dirty I know asl and when I see you sign things I’m amazed on the differences it’s so cool
I look forward to your vlogmas videos everyday! It's the first thing I watch every morning after I wake up! I'm from Malaysia, maybe you should organise a meet up for your fans here? My favourite Christmas emoji is 🎄.
I really enjoy your videos about sign language. I'm from America, so we use ASL, but I got into this one because I live Christmas, hope to visit England some day, but mainly because I have trouble reading captions and watching videos at the same time and so it is next to impossible to follow signs while reading captions. Love your videos!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is very informative, I live in Canada (my area uses ASL) and I kept getting partially confused whenever I see a sign I recognise in your videos because I know you use BSL (I was a little worried I'm learning the wrong signs) but it's very interesting (and relieving) to see that the two can be similar - thank you!
Love seeing the difference in the sl. I'm learning asl as I've lost over 90% hearing due to MS and can't fake it anymore by lip reading lol. 🎄🐧
you could make an entire series of these and i would LOVE IT.
Was great to see you!
So great to see you too! ❤️
That hat and hair! Oh my!
Oliver is cuuute
*ehem* I mean: what an informative video! I enjoyed that very much. Also, that turban is distinctly fabulous!
Interesting and fun video.
I learned ASL, after a friend's little sister lost her hearing, back when I was seven; now at twenty-two, I still use it, a bit less but it's still there. Kind of second nature to my hands. And since I've left school, I've been learning BSL on my own. I'm getting the hang of it. As you said, knowing both gets tricky sometimes. Sign Languge is a beautiful language.
Here in Brazil December is 38°C. It definitely would be good to have one snowy christmas some day
I relate to both of you, and am very happy to have found you both. Hope you have a great holiday!
I missed where you got the cardigan, and I was eyeing that! Max Sweaters? Where is this?
Also, Buffy and Faith YASSS!
It would be lovely if you did other ASL/BSL comparisons!! Much love xx ♥
I love your videos. They're so interesting. I also love your lipstick. It's a very pretty color. Also, this may sound odd, but it helps me understand what you say better without the subtitles (cause unfortunately I don't know sign language yet)
Oh please yes make those videos! This was amaaaazing! I need more sign languages in my life.
After your livestream I looked up the ASL version. Completely different!
I've been looking at ASL before and tried to learn, so this video with differences was so interesting! Thanks :D
I loved seeing the differences between BSL and ASL signs!! So interesting!
Love this video! :) Very interesting about the differences between BSL and ASL Christmas signs. :)
My father had a co-worker who was deaf and unable to speak so they got a class in sign language, the Swedish version. I picked up the alphabet from that book. Later, Sweden switched to what was said to be a more international version so now I have no clue what the Swedes do anymore :D Same goes for the Norwegian version, which I'm told is slightly different. I will go through your BSL series and learn a little of that at least
You guys should do more comparison videos like this! I'm really interested in BSL because I'm currently learning ASL.
13:56 I instantly thought "oh, Claudia is on the floor this time!"
MAKE THAT VIDEO. I’d love more of these!
i am learning german sign language and some of them are really similar/the same, but others are soo different. i find it so interesting to watch these kind of videos:)
YES PLEASE! I really enjoyed this video and loved your reactions. We reacted the same to the Peace sign-- I really enjoyed that one as well! I love the idea of countries, colors, maybe animals too or something? I know in languages like for Americans (not sure if its the same for overseas haha) the sound of an animal is also very different to how say the Japanese language does it-- like dogs go woof woof or bark for us, but in Japan I believe its like wan wan or something very different sounding haha. I'm not sure something like that :D either way I'd love to see more videos like this!
Tilly reminds me very much of my Nana's dog Tammy, she was one of my favourite family dogs, so very sweet ❤
it might be kind of fun to do a whole series like this... with ASL vs. BSL
I love the Lake District! ❤️ I'm from America and each time I've went to the U.K. I've gone there. It's beautiful!
I am a French person currently studying French Sign Language, and it's fascinating to see differences and similarities between these three languages. The sign for Christmas, for example, is done by imitating a kind of beard (reference to Father Christmas' one).
I like that 'eve' finger spells so smoothly in ASL 😍
I know the ASL alphabet, and thank you. So I can kinda get a long if I need to (but very slowly and probably frustrating everyone)
Duck looks interesting... I've never seen one (cooked, obviously I've seen ducks around).
This was so interesting. I would love to see more comparison videos like this!
I loved this! Please do more asl/bsl comparison videos :)
The sign for snow in Texas (different asl sign for it anyways) is the asl signs "white rain"! My professor said this is mostly because we don't see snow much in this part of Texas, I thought it'd be cool to share a regional sign!
Crikey makes it harder when you go on hols! So interesting thank you 🌼🌸🌹
Yes, please! More ASL/BSL lessons!
you guys are an amazing couple! have a merry Christmas and a fab new year ahead! with love from China 💕
This is so cool! I just started learning Libras, which is the Brazilian sign language and everything is so different from BSL and ASL! You should check it out!
I already know some of these from when I was a kid :D my primary school would be part of this concert where we would learn Christmas songs and the sign language with it :3
As someone who studied ASL(take “studied” loosely. Took it in high school) I find watching you sign BSL so interesting. I feel like BSL uses a lot more literal signs, like present. Where ASL doesn’t do things as literally. Very interesting indeed!
I'd love to see more videos of you teaching BSL signs!
That oven is amazing
OMG I love your style o muuuuch is soooo 50s LOVE IT.. It's actually the first time I see you tho I'm latin and not deaf but love the deaf community so much I learn ASL a couple of years now and I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL ALREADY loves from El Salvador
btwwww I'm kinda in love with BSL now I might learn it someday lovees
185k!!! Congratulations!!!

I know this video is a little old now but seeing Claudia learning to sign along with the song We Wish You A Merry Christmas at the end made me curious about how much sign Claudia knows. I know you've mentioned she'll sign some things to you but that you rely mostly on your ability to lip read. Could you maybe do a video where you quiz her on her sign knowledge?
I'd also be really curious to see more video comparisons of BSL and ASL. I'm learning JSL (Japanese sign language) and the signs for all of these words, except for reindeer, are all quite different which I find super interesting, especially since Christmas is a relatively recent holiday in Japan compared to in England and the United States.
Lastly, I'm really jealous of your oven and the meal you made with it.
I'm learning ASL and would love to see a series of videos showing the difference between BSL/ASL.
Your voice is so soothing
i loved this. id love to see u do one on diffrenced between auslan and bsl.
Sharing this with my brothers girlfriend, she will start learning to be a translator next year. Probably the Dutch version, but you know, a little bit of insight in the many different versions may help. ❤️🎄
