Yes 4 times. it is only repeated for the beat of the word- two syllables in mother and father

if that makes sense?

Hey Cally,

BSL sentence structure is a tricky one, the best example online I can find is Mel on youtube. 

In terms of your sentence I would start "Uni of Plymouth why? Good course, great location" 
However, I am just learning myself anyone else have an idea??

Hey Sharon,

what song are you thinking of this time? When it comes to song I find they work best effectually with Sign Supported English. @Jeetus Maximus Sohpal could be a good guy to get in touch with. He did One love on this platform last at the start of the 1st lockdown. 

there is away to message him privately to on his profile page

Hey Molly,

Interesting question. My guess would be you just sign the same twice eg 'M' and 'M' or 'F' and 'F' ????

Any other ideas welcome

they have a boxing one (eg throwing a punch) maybe spell kick before, or just do a very basic move from the sport with the lip pattern

not 100% sure just an idea, if you do come up with an idea, or find an answer please share  

When it comes to forming BSL questions the question word goes at the end.

you want what?

we eat where?

you go with who?

you go when?

How I think may be a little different but I am not sure..... If anyone knows please comment

Hey Paul,

sorry no one got back to you quicker,

Welcome and Happy New Year

https://www.signbsl.com/sign/welcome and https://www.signbsl.com/sign/happy https://www.signbsl.com/sign/new https://www.signbsl.com/sign/year

and's are rarely signed and the BSL sentence makes scenes without it

Hope the head injury is clearing up 

I found this youtube piece very helpful with the BSL grammer 

Hey, 

My first thought was planner and builder together to the idea across.

but a little look at BSL Dictionary there also seems to be a sign dedicated to it  I didn't know that

I like the girl in pink idea best- what do you think?

Hey Steph,

Head nodding/shaking is still a thing in BSl, but you could always combine it with a fist doing the same movements.

Hey,

Yes they are

When it comes to signs that are the same or similar people rely on the context of the sentence/conversation, as well as the form of the lips, to understand the meaning of the sign.

Hi - I am trying to embed BSL in my mainstream primary, using signed hymns and prayers where possible.  Does anyone know a good video for Happy Birthday to You which would be consistent with English / London based signing?  Thank you!

Hey,

Natasha Lamb on YouTube is really easy to understand and kid friendly. They cover happy Birthday in this video 

 from 14:00 on wards

Hey Zoe,

I would guess you would use your fingers as the needle and reenact the moments.

Hey Arti,

Writer/writing are the same. Your secondary hand is flat, your primary hand holding an imagery pen and "writes" over the top.

This is also the same sign for Author.

However say the word you mean.

Hope that makes sense,

Laura

Hey,

I found this interesting little exact in "The Linguistics of British Sign Language: An Introduction" written 1999 and published by Cambridge University Press, 1999 

I would think it's still relevant

If Mr/Miss/Mrs is needed to be used- for English reasons - then they would just be finger slept.

If trying to decide someone then Woman/man or girl/boy would be the equivalent.

Well I read your title wrong- SORRY!!!!!!

Hey,

A different take on the word.

According to google a Pandemic means "(of a disease) prevalent over a whole country or the world."

So my guess would be Virus + World and since I guess your talking about the coronavirus I would add Corona + Virus + World

Same I'm a learner too, just my thought.....

(Sign for Coronavirus taken from BBC- Dave the dog is worried about Coronavirus)

Hey Alice,
Glad you understood me  and thank-you for the reply- could understand it really clearly.

here's another if you want  

And Ellie can't wait to see your introduction video- let us know your favorite animal within it

Stay safe,

Laura

Hey Alice,

Great way to practice!

I thought I would reply with a video myself.

Stay Safe,

Laura

Video quiz 2:

Who do I live with?

What is their names?

What is their hair color?

How long have they been married?

What do we while we stay in all day?

Hey Dlyan,

Sorry a little late but hope you find this--

I have done a script writing course and would suggest they you write all BSL in slandered English but BSL in those parentheticals.

so :

                    DAN

           (BSL)

How's it going mate?

Make sense?

Hey Emma

Love this question- adore musical theater.

Would it be Theater sign + Music sign (or maybe Singing sign)

At a guess????

Hey 

Would your response be

Work me what receptionist (welcome sign) where Museum ???

As for the Museum sign there seems to be a few options on the BSL Sign Dictionary:

https://www.signbsl.com/

They also have one for Portsmouth which is P sign + Mouth sign

:) 

Hey

The reason our reply is "My name what sign" is basically training wheels to help with grammar, as the same with when you start learning English. Outside the classroom it wouldn't be needed.
