      New to BSL

      By shenade04 · Posted

      Hi! I am new to BSL and would love to learn more as I work in a hospital and believe it would be amazing to communicate with patients who are deaf of non-verbal as it could be the difference between a positive and negative hospital experience.

      Confused which is my dominant hand?

      By Benfelen · Posted

      I definitely wouldn't worry about it too much! I write with my left hand, but sign right hand dominant. Deaf people can still understand the signs (as long as you're making them clear) whether it's left handed or right handed signing. I would try to practice one dominant hand though, as it makes learning a little easier so you know which hand you need to use in conversation. Just go with what feels the most comfortable for you to use, and you'll gradually stick to one hand dominant. It's what I had to do! And I still use my left hand for certain signs when I shouldn't lol Really hope this helped you ☺️

      Best way to translate "fabulous"

      By baldy · Posted

      For what it's worth, he recently described Rose's dance as "a... may... zing" and used the "dominant hand held with palm towards stomach, moving downwards twice" sign for "amazing", but he did it with both hands and with three movements instead of two, to match the syllables of the spoken word.  On top of that, while the "amazing" sign has the fingers together, his wrists were limp and his fingers were splayed in a way that he would have criticised in a dancer, so overall I've no idea what a speaker of BSL would make of his effort... but Rose seemed to appreciate the gesture, at least!

      Confused which is my dominant hand?

      By alex_willbeok · Posted

      So i just started learning bsl and i use my left hand as my dominant hand when signing.  do this because I learn by mimicking the the videos i watch directly. Using my left hand feels most comfortable but i write with my right hand? I also use my right hand to sign the alphabet but my left hand to sign number because. Also even though i would like to use my left i feel like right handed is easier to read? i cant do it the other way round Is this ok? And is it possible to train myself to use my right hand when signing to become dominant?

      Hello! My name is Tara and I am 23 years old. I've always wanted to learn sign language but struggle to motivate myself - are there places to chat with people or does anyone have any tips? Thanks!
