I really find these videos a great help. The speed/level is above my current ability, but they use enough signs that I'm familiar with to help me develop.
Thank you. Got my 102 exam coming up and even though our teacher is a gem the paperwork he gives out isn't great and he whizzes through everything maybe twice and expects us to remember it all!!
Thanks Mel, My exam has just been postponed as the uni is closed until further notice so I am binge watching your channel. Please stay safe - you and your family - thanks Lou
Hi Lou I’m sorry I am late in replying. I hope you are well. I will be doing some more videos this week, I’m just getting my head back to normal, what ever normal is 😂. You take care x
I have stumbled across your channel when trying to learn how to sign and I’m just struggling finding out if there is a certain hand you use most it looks like it’s right but I’m not sure and don’t know which variation of a sign to use I know basics like alphabet numbers colours animals and a few words but I would know how to do random words. I’m learning because I’m 16 and thinks it’s a great way to expand communication skill and I work in a place where a deaf visitor could come in And it would be great if I knew how to string a sentence. Would you think about doing videos of just word with sound? Thank you
Hi Anna that's great you're learning especially when you're young because you will pick it up quicker. I am right handed so it's a bit like writing, I lead my signing with my right hand. With signing BSL its very difficult to talk and sign at the same time because it's in a totally different order. Sometimes there isn't the equivalent word in English to match the sign either. BSL is a bit like painting a picture, it's very descriptive and uses a lot of facial expressions which is part of the language, for example just by raising the eyebrows can change the meaning of a sign. It's a great language to learn and I know as a deaf person they really appreciate it when a person makes effort to learn even a little bit. On my playlist I have a lot of videos for new learners, the one on simple conversations would be helpful. It covers a lot of basic sentences. Also I do teach over Skype, my email is on my about page. I do hope you enjoy learning sign. There are lots of jobs out there for young people that can sign, like CSW or interpreters. Mel 😃
Thank you , I will look on your other videos and I am noticing that I’m learning it faster than my aunty who’s learning it with me I appreciate the reply and will definitely learn more. Thank you very much!!!
Thank you so much Maisie. Really pleased it's helpful. I've just this minute finished a BSL 103 video on sharing information. I'll publish it as soon as Ive done the subtitles. Thank you for watching.
Hi sorry so late in replying, sometimes my comments don't show up. Yes you're right they're are regional signs and especially in numbers and colours you will see a huge variety. Thank you very much.
Kashmir Bhuttay there’s three little vertical dots at the top right of the screen, if you press on that it will give you the option to chose subtitles.

Curious about different bsl signs for toilet and live. Are they regional North South?
Hi do you offer one to one tutoring?

Thank you Mel 🌟
Hi Mel, just found you. I have just started learning BSL at CDCC, (Cornwall) your videos are great, thank you
I pressed the wrong button. I am learning bsl at the deaf club in Camborne.
Free, but we give donation
I did level 1, 2 and 3 signature bsl 8 years ago but never done any since.
Good signs I understands everything
Thank you so much Maisie. Really pleased it's helpful. I've just this minute finished a BSL 103 video on sharing information. I'll publish it as soon as Ive done the subtitles. Thank you for watching.
@@bsllearningwithmel4459 brilliant I'll watch that as soon as possible
are there different signs for one thing? i have learnt something a little different from some of those signs... I love this though and it helps a lot!
