- Learn 10 phrases in British Sign Language that can be really useful in everyday conversations.
Many of these signs are often referred to as "multi-channel signs" where you need to show a specific facial expression or lip pattern at the same as as the sign, for example "that's interesting" requires an "ooooh" lip pattern.
What signs do you find really useful? Let us know in the comments. They don't have to be the signs in this video.
Thanks for watching! ✋
"sorry my mind's gone blank" is literally a life saver
"Slower, please" would be a useful addition to "Again, please"
Useful expressions rather than single words are a real boost for me. Thanks
Honestly, I think the most useful sign for me has always been "(Sorry), Could you fingerspell it?" !!
Me and my fiance can now sign 'I'm staying out of it' when my family start arguing in front of us 😅

Hi Dan, I am a nurse who has had a few deaf patients in recently. The communication is challenging due to the mask..., so I decided to learn basic BSL. Your you tube clips are so easy to follow and helpful. Thank you
Really clear to see hand shape and sign from different angles, alongside facial expression and mouth pattern. Will definitely be using "sorry, my mind has gone blank!"
i’m learning sign language so i am able to talk to my nephew who is deaf thank you for this!
This is awesome thanks so much, I knew the alphabet and when I was in retail learnt the phrases I most used. Helps so much, its such a shame basic BLS isn't taught in schools or preschools. Then no one would be left behind with communication
I find them all useful but I think “again, sorry” is a life saver because I’m only just learning and probably won’t pick up everything.
I am slowly losing my hearing in my left ear, I find all your sighs helpful
I love these videos. I am self teaching myself to be inclusive in salon for my deaf clients. With covid, lip reading has become very difficult for the deaf community and I really want to do my part to make for a more comfortable experience in salon.
"I don't mind" and "not yet" are literally just life savers thank you so much
Found your channel just recently ❤. As an American (or Yank, as you Brits say), I thoroughly enjoy learning BSL and BSL alphabet. I use ASL (American Sign Language) with family members (8 of them) & friends, but am so happy I can "try my hand" (pun intended) at a different sign language. Thanks for making your vids so easy to use - showing your hands, fingers, body & face from diffetent angles is AWESOME !! Hope you will make MORE vids soon !! Well done, you !! Cheers from 🇺🇸!!!
I’m learning because we have some deaf ladies who come to my bingo and as the caller it’s great to know some basic signs…..the ones I use the most are ‘hello how are you’, ‘ thank you’ and I also show them the letter F when there is a false call…I think it’s really brave of them to come to the bingo. Thanks for all the uploads it’s really helping me out😎👍
Perfect all correct. Very well presented. It ought in schools so children learn sign language to add to writing, reading, listening, speaking all 5 instead of 4 what hearing people do. Deaf people love sign language and don’t understand why hearing people do not use sign language.
Hi, I just wanted to say that I only found your channel a little while ago but all of your videos have helped me so much. They’re really clear and easy to understand.
Your signs are so clear & I love how you make it clear what lip shape/sound you should be making along with signs (as I’m hearing but learning BSL & I just end up saying the words I’m signing :/ lol)
Please could you do “I’m sorry but I don’t sign much”
