Hello,
I'm just starting on my BSL course journey. I'm wondering if there is relevance to which side of your body you might place a hand sign, or relevance to which direction you might move your hand?
Having just started the course, I have the following questions from the Colour section, for example.
1: With the sign for "silver" - when your hands break from the "S" - does it matter if your dominant hand is the one going up or down? I see in the video that the dominant hand goes up, but does it matter? With this particular sign, it feels more natural for the dominant hand to go down for me - I am wondering if this would be confusing?
2: With the sign for "white", I see in the video that you make the sign on the same side of your chest as your hand. Can the sign be made with your dominant hand on the opposite side of your chest - or does this mean something else or would it be confusing? I almost find this sign awkward to do on the same side of my chest as my arm!
3: With the sign for "colour" - does it matter if you circle clockwise or anticlockwise?
Thank you to anyone who might answer... it will help me to progress correctly 😁
