- Examples of basic conversational questions and example answers in British Sign Language.
These examples include:
- Hello, how are you?
- What's your name?
- Do you want coffee?
- What's your number?
- What are you doing later?
- What do you want for dinner?
- Do you want anything from the shop?
Thanks for watching! ✋
"What's your number? Do you want coffee? What are you doing later?" Is he flirting with me?
4 bottles of wine, are you trying to get me drunk? 😏
anyone else finds these videos really wholesome, or just me?
Not just you :)
yes!! I love him
Agreed
The shop? Sure. Just the usual. 4 bottles of red wine pls
That's proper everyday conversation.
To say wine, take your hand and make a fist. extend the pinky and thumb out. Should look like this🤙. Bring it to your chest and then your thumb up to your mouth in the Sam position, repeat this motion twice.
To say which wine meaning white, red or rosé-
White: take your index finger and place it on either shoulder and pull of your shoulder Turing it into and upside down point.
Red: curl your index finger a little bit, and place it the tip onto your lip and point but keep the curl in your finger
Rosé: take your index finger to your cheek but do not directly touch it. Do circles quickly without bending your finger so it faces upwards.
After any of these motions put wine in BSL after it.
So I’m learning the basics and doing a bsl sign language level 1 course online. The course needs this guy. He’s brilliant. He emphasised every sign .
which course are you doing? i'm a beginner trying to learn
@@Anna-xh6nc honestly anything you can find on a level 1 you can now find on youtube
And repeated them, making them *super* clear
I took my level 1 about 3-4 years ago now and I'm using this to brush up on BSL again.
@@Anna-xh6nc While it's true that you can probably find a lot of level 1 stuff on youtube now depending on your learning style you might find a structured class helpful. I certainly did. Having two hours of silence every week where a group of us signed helped me learn a lot of BSL.... and a lot about our teacher's unfortunate support for Hull football team lol
4 bottles of wine. My usual evening meal during lockdown 😂 Dan. Thank you so much for these brilliant videos. You've taught me so much in only a few weeks. I had a neighbour move in recently, who is deaf, and I really wanted to be inclusive and welcoming of her to the community. I've started learning sign language through CZcams, and your videos have helped immensely. Thank you so much + + +
Now _that's_ what you call a 'good neighbour' 👏👏👏
Clarity of hand shapes/movement is absolutely outstanding, and the extra view angles and close-ups are great. So easy to learn from. As a rusty BSL level one your videos are a delight!
As a total beginner you have made learning to sign so interesting. So glad I found you, self isolating is easier when you have a new skill to learn.
How is it going 😁
@@rhianjones1561 it helps having someone who explains things so clearly.
0:08: Hello how are you
0:16: I’m fine
0:27: What’s your name
0:37: My name is (Dan)
0:59: Where do you work?
1:08: Office
1:15 What’s your favourite colour
1:44 My favourite colour is pink
1:52 What’s your number
2:08 My number is 0785…
2:26 Do you want coffee
2:39 Yes 2 sugars please
2:50 What are you doing later
3:06 Later, I’m going cinema to watch Batman
3:53 Where are them shoes from?
4:02 Ebay
4:11 What do you want for dinner?
4:27 Pizza for sure
4:36 I’m going shop do you want anything
5:00 Yes 4 bottle of red wine please
Can you teach what I think is an important question please? It’s simply “how do you sign” or “what’s the sign for” and then you can finger spell the word.
Great suggestion, I'll add it into a future video. Thanks for watching! 🖐️
@@CommandingHands and I'm learning sign.. Please sign slowly as am a beginner. I know bits of this myself. Signing is more easy than reading a fast signing person give their answer. They need to slow down. I need to practice. Another sentence. Thanks.
What you do is I think in BSL it would be
"You sign how"
Learning some sign while on 'lock down', your videos are a fantastic help. Great points: Clear hand forms, repeated actions, and list of content in the comments section for a little practice afterwards. Thank you very much for your help.
Wow 4 bottles of wine! I'd be very drunk! Thank you this is brilliant, I love it, I like this man on it very much.
find the videos of sentences really helpful, thanks. vocab is great- but always good to be able to put them together
Best BSL tutorial by far in my opinion while trying to learn the Aussie , NZ, and USA BSL . Thank you very much 👍🏻✋
Your channel deserves so much more!
Hi, thank you very much for these examples, really helpful to learn how sentences are structured! My daughter and I are learning out of curiosity and enjoying your videos very much! Keep them coming with more examples! Thanks and stay well!
You are wonderful, thank you so much. I recently started learning BSL and I find it really helpful to watch people sign sentences. Plus, the humour is always a good bonus.
Thank you for making videos, please keep doing it!
I loved how in this video you had subs for both English and BSL since I am learning SSE. Stay awesome
I have wanted to learn sign language for quite a while but never gotten around to it. I work in a care home and I have started to learn it from your videos as I have lovely resident who is deaf. she is excited that I am learning. she asks me if I have learnt anything new and tells me I am doing really well and picking it up quick. really enjoying your videos dan 😀
Thank you for doing these, I work in a shop and mask-wearing will be compulsory where I am, I'd hate for anyone to feel stuck.
0:00 How are you
0:16 I’M FINE
Oops
Caps was on :D
0:36 My name is
1:30 my favourite colour
4:20 pizza for sure
Wow thank you so much. This is really useful. I am at the very beginning of my BSL journey. So to see you put together some useful phrases in a steady comprehensive manner is extremely helpful. Also to get context and sentence structure as opposed to trying to sign in spoken English.
Thank you Dan! Very helpful to watch.
Thank you so much, trying to learn some new skills over lockdown and I'm finding your channel really helpful so far!
thank you Dan for very practical everyday sentences.
Really useful! Great to have a range of different sentences and the signing is super clear :)
This is the first one of your videos where I felt like I had to rewind and rewatch for everything to sink in properly. Greetings, answers, and food in BSL either feel intuitive or are simple gestures once you know them, but there's a big variety of nouns in this video that took a few tries to get my head around.
I did a level 1, long time ago, recently went to a cafe run by a 'deaf' couple...these vids are super for refresher (and learning)! everyone should learn to sign, it's awesome. Thankyou for these.
Love these videos! They're helping me so much, thank you!
This guy has the best way to describe them and go over easily, I'm still learning but it should be taught everywhere especially schools everywhere
This is so helpful. Thank you.
Amazing resources! It should be taught at school to everyone I started today and managed to memorise the alphabet already. Thank you so much
You know it’s British when they ask for 4 bottles of wine
hooray for short sentences. Please could we have more session with a central theme making repeated use of a group of signs - ie, cooking a simple recipe, shopping, 'what do I want to wear today/' walking the dog, playing football . . . perhaps a little quiz at the end?
Really great videos.Thank you so much for your clear signing which I definitely need after a few glasses of red.
Wonderful as always
Thank you, I will be able to sign more sentences!
Hello! Love your videos, I'm trying to teach my half-deaf father sign so we can communicate without his hearing aid, since it hurts him a lot to wear. I know you signed 'Do you want a coffee?' but since my father only drinks tea, can you make a tea alternative? Thank you for making these wonderful videos!
In case you haven’t found it yet:
Tea is this:👌🏻, with your dominant hand, tilt it towards your face like coffee, just with this hand shape if that makes sense lol
@@charlotterose2102 like how posh ppl drink tea...with two fingers
@@jayf5084 Yh I guess ahahah
Hard to remember vut should be taught in all schools as a subject in my school we did it once as a subject in a specific grade so i didn't really remember much but this helps me and will continue watching until i know most of it😮🎉🎉
I've learnt so much from commanding hands thanks still yet to have a conversation with someone who can speak sign
this has been so helpful for helping me on my BSL course!
I worked as xmas temp and throughout new year and can you please teach basic retail customer service requests like 'do you need a bag?' ' please insert your card' 'please remove your card' 'please try again' 'thank you for waiting' 'goodbye and have a lovely day' and things like that. Tq
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You're brilliante
So helpful thank you!
4 bottles of red wine. It's lockdown! 😂
Great video, thanks
Great, thanks!
Nice and slow giving you time to practice
Your teaching is so good, I'm subscribed, hopefully soon I'll be able to have a conversation using BSL 👏🏼👏🏼🤗 thank you

Thank you!
amazing! thank you!
Thank you 🙌
I'm finding now different signs for different items on bsl. Eg sandwich 2 hands making one, and the other was gesturing eating it. Guess they were saying do you like or want a sandwich. Same with chocolate, they did it with chin touch and hand C to mouth. I find you made it simpler as in just the C touch to mouth
The BSL words at the side needs to be more exposed, I'm getting confused if he using the normal one
huh
Colours please - can you include regional variations for colours too? thanks so much
Thank you x
**waggles fingers enthusiastically at phone**
I've found a decent channel I can pause and rewind and practice and look over thats not full of unnecessary chatter. I can speak as I sign at my own pace. Nobody will be excluded from my conversation. ☮️
Red wine and pizza, I’ll be grand
Hiya, I love your videos! I've just started learning sign language and I was wondering when you're signing things like "name you what?" would you mouth "name you what?" or "What's your name"? Sorry if this is a stupid question! :))
very nice
Great vid
My parents are deaf so I'm trying to learn sign language to communicate better with them, hopefully I can do it 🤣
I’m trying to learn BSL as a surprise for a friend I made a uni He has hearing aids, but he still struggles to pick up everything when we’re in crowds or loud environments so I want to try and learn how to communicate in situations where can’t hear me as well . This video was really helpful I know this is a old video but Does anyone have any advice on how I can improve
Dan i think for the coffee question, your missing the Milk 😂😂😂
Hi there, really enjoyed watching this. Just a quick question, is Makaton same as BSL as many of the signs I learnt from 'Makaton' seem the same in this. I am gearing myself up to teach a student with little or no language so this video was very helpful for me :) Thank you.
From what I've heard from a friend, makaton is different to BSL (possibly simpler??) but they are quite similar and generally signs from one can be understood by the other
Are these signs specific to a region? Im doing an online course in BSL and some are different. I want to extend my practice by using extra videos but dont want to learn the wrong one or confuse myself! Our 6,7,8 is different, as is your and hello, little things like that.
I'm screaming rn I have been trying to learn bsl for ages and I'm so stupid I didn't look at youtube ;-;
So the hand movements are just for specifying things when mouth movements aren’t clear? I mean if you can’t see the persons mouth is sign language possible?
I really don't know my BSL but wondered how the discussion would go. Mind you, after 4 bottles of red wine, I can guess how it might go... 🥴
Can you suggest a good way to learn? I am watching all these and attempting to remember them but theres just to many. :(
I need all these type of hard question and answer please
I have just met a lovely girl and she is deaf. Her friend had to be our go between lol so I want to learn.
Does anyone have the list he has done it in? If so can you tell me please
Can i just ask what is the reason a lot of the sentences are restructured? for example.....later you are doing what?? keep up the good work...i'm learning a lot from your blog
British sign language is a separate language from English with different grammar rules and syntax ( order of words), the sentences are restructured to show the order of the words we should sign to make it easier for us. Hope this helps!
kinda like how french say chat noir instead of black cat... it has its own grammatical structure
im taking an online course right now and it includes bsl history... the person who started bsl gave it its own structure so the hearing/speech inpaired could have it easier or something like that... ima need to reread my notes 😂
I'm just now starting to learn sign and one thing I am struggling with is how to know which hand does what part of a sign (dominant vs. non-dominant). Not sure if I worded that very well, but hopefully someone can help?
Late to the day but think of your dominant hand as the 'writing' hand. That hand is generally more active in the signing
@@quirkofchance924 that's actually really helpful, thanks ❤
Does anyone know why when asking questions like What’s your favourite colour? The order is favourite colour what’s?
How different is BSL from ASL?
I need some help. So one hand I can’t use properly so is there anyway I can learn how to do sign language with one hand
Not criticizing but am I right in saying this is sign supported english?
Does he do the sign for sugar like this because it's convenient after saying two or does this happen to be the sign for sugar?
@Holly Johns i was taught sugar was taking your index finger and rotating it where a cheek dimple would be
just looked it up and i think both are okay but predominantly shaking the first two fingers
Can you do the sign i only know basics
I'm doing a BSL course but the signs in it are different to these!! :(
The thing is we're just learning the questions in this bc all these could have different answers
Bruh what you want four bottles of wine for calm down
Dials 0785 to ask Dan a BSL question... realises life is a lie.
Good Morning, I am a funeral celebrant and taking a service of which the deceased and his wife were and are deaf. I would like to add some signing by myself into the service. Can anyone help please.
You've done it again Dan... you've used the same move for 2 different things.. your thumb on your chin.. you do the same thing for useful and favourite.. it's no wonder I get confused
Pls can you do a kid conversation
I learnt different signs to some of these phrases aaaa I'm confused now
me no english so me must know sign language 👁👄👁
BSL sign language dictionary New videos I'm a learn more do looking written book thanks are you wow good I'm where a from india
Hi2😃
There's no sign for batman?!
the sign for Batman is pointy ears on the top of your head ^ ^
why does it have to be "your name what?" why not just "whats your name?"
because british sign language is not english, it's a whole independent language with its own grammar like other languages
ISL sign language dictionary india from City
what level qualification in BSL do you have? what region BSL is this? you syntax needs work and you could easily include cultural conventions when teaching kids. for example you would not actually ask "your name what?" you would simply sign "name what?" if you wanted to clarify whose name you are after "what" would then turn into a referencing point. perhaps you could also show a true example of what you signing at normal speed and without the unnecessary lip pattern then perhaps you could include more NMF.
true BSL sytax would be
Timeline > Location > object > Subject > verb.
I think he is showing the correct grammar as it will be beginners who are watching this, so we should learn the correct grammar at first, to then simplify it later :)
All good stuff, but annoying to have to turn down the silly music that only serves as a distraction.
Why do u put it on?
i keep getting distracted by the music is anyone els
Where them shoes from is not what we would say, it should be where are those shoes from ?? Or Those shoes where from ?
