    I'd like to learn BSL but this was way to fast for me, sorry. As a beginner I would need to be taught sign by sign... I think this is good for somebody who already knows BSL. But if you are a total beginner is a bit pointless.

      Hi, I do BSL. I have made an alphabet tutorial and I'll be making more tutorials over the next few days. I also sign to songs too if that helps. :)

    Sonia!!..Way too fast for an absolute beginner!!..I got Derek..but panicked after that..But I've already put in 3 months..How's a starter going to get this..Sloooooooly!

    Hold up! Hold up! Howwww... did this woman go from teaching "A, B, C, D, E, F & G" to let's figure out how to spell 'Derek' and 'Matthew'?? The sign was moving way to fast for a beginner, I mean damn woman.

      I agree i need someone to sign slowly so i can learn .

      @misitamarshall7140 7 лет назад +1

      Gad dammit. You're right. It says in the description box that it's a "preview". It's so annoying looking for tutorial videos and finding out it's just an advertisement. kmt

  • @aaronbenjamingarrett
    @aaronbenjamingarrett 10 лет назад +11

    Why does she sign everything so quick when this is meant to be a beginner lesson...She just wants to show off her BSL skills ...

  • @rubyhart9326
    @rubyhart9326 6 лет назад +3

    She was doing spelling at the start but she didn't show all the letters, I already know the letters but some people don't and she was doing it early fast

  • @LSLSoniaHollis
    @LSLSoniaHollis  13 лет назад +2

    @mikeymana Hi, thats why it is important to look at the context of your signs...and not individual signs because the meaning of a particular sign in isolation can mean a different thing when surrounded by other signs and the context changed...look at the semantics.

  • @michaelsjourney87
    @michaelsjourney87 11 лет назад +1

    i now at 25 plan on moving to the uk make a life for myself and get some closure and even though my wife-to-be never heard a sound in her life never spoke a word her hands and her written words spoke volumes BSL gave my siobahn a voice and when i see it being used i can't help but remeber and smile :)

  • @LSLSoniaHollis
    @LSLSoniaHollis  13 лет назад +1

    thanks...as a fully qualified interpreter I know there are regional dialects with regards to numbers, people etc and depending on the context signed utterances change according to meaning....when learning a language it is always best to immerse yourself with users of the language you wish to learn...bearing in mind that not all deaf people sign, and there are also differences in how everyone signs....just as hearing people do not speak exactly the same, but are still communicating in English..

  • @michaelsjourney87
    @michaelsjourney87 11 лет назад +2

    i just wanted to thank you for posting your BSL videos my fiancee was deaf/dumb and was from the uk now i'm USA and i'm HOH but i get by just fine for the most part when i first met her i was like not ASL?BSL? WTF lol but in the end we made it work and we had 4 amazing years together however she passed away 04

    @LSLSoniaHollis I had to repeat the alphabet a few times before watching this video, but I guessed right all the spelled names in one go! Thank you very much, you inspired me to learn a new language :)

  • @mikeymana
    @mikeymana 13 лет назад +1

    @LSLSoniaHollis an example of this is i learnt 1 sighn for 'good looking' and then learnt that sometimes the same sightn can be used for 'downs dyndrome'. that can cause much confusion!

  • @PickleMum

    Can someone please tell me what the BSL hand sign is for the word 'him'? Thank you SO much if you do! Trying to write down all of my notes, and forgot to take note of that one word, so I've forgotten how to do it, lol.

  • @LayBackBrandonT
    @LayBackBrandonT 12 лет назад

    Lol I like fingerspelling in BSL. I sign ASL, and even though I think that the letters are easier to learn and sign, it looks twice as cool when you spell them in BSL

  • @natalietilsley9644
    @natalietilsley9644 4 года назад +1

    I have a great friend who has a brother who is deaf, but I am going to learn more sign language for when he comes in the pub (when they get back to normal) instead of writing him notes from what people say whenever he pop's in.

  • @tracheoboy
    @tracheoboy 11 лет назад +1

    TOO FAST for beginners. I have BSL level 1 and I am doing it again as a refresher and it's the same complaint. I have a PGCE Po/CET and it's such a basic error

  • @Ingelokastamazillion
    @Ingelokastamazillion 12 лет назад +1

    It's too fast in the sense that I cannot see exactly how she uses her hands. Not that I cannot rewind.

  • @thefartydoctor
    @thefartydoctor 13 лет назад

    @LSLSoniaHollis Yeah, I come from Stoke and my sister's deaf. She's lucky that she can still hear and does not require sign language but it's fun to point out that 'yellow' in Stoke sign language is the action of molten wax falling from the ear hahaha. That's weird, don't you think?

    • @LSLSoniaHollis
      @LSLSoniaHollis  4 года назад

      Hi there. Thanks for the feedback. We took that feedback and subsequently refilmed a lot of our content using Deaf presenters who were also sign language teachers. If you take a look at the other videos hopefully you will be able to find the slower versions suitable for beginners.. I hope this helps. Best wishes Sonia

  • @emmaraspin4267
    @emmaraspin4267 11 лет назад +1

    You are a qualified BSL interpreter but are you qualified to teach BSL? Have you been trained to teach BSL as a language? Do you think it is right for hearing people to teach BSL?

  • @IHadSoManyIngots
    @IHadSoManyIngots 11 лет назад +1

    how are we supposed to understand those names when she only showed us A-G ? :/

  • @thefartydoctor
    @thefartydoctor 13 лет назад

    @mikeymana Due to the fact that they can lip read as well, they can put the order of the signs with what they can understand from lip reading to gain a better understanding of the situation. It's just another tool, I suppose. haha I know it's funny when she did the names and you just read her lips. :-)

  • @darkmetallica
    @darkmetallica 12 лет назад

    all those saying " too fast too fast " it takes a lot longer to learn to read the spelling at normal "deaf" speed if you constantly slow it down, rather, try just keep repeating the section, annoying but you learn it a lot faster.

  • @Timalady
    @Timalady 13 лет назад

    @mikeymana because people who use bsl also lip read!

    I learnt completely different signs for the days of the week, and numbers after 5 XD....how can there be a standardized test?! Im learning BSL in Scotland, but when I go home to the south of england, it's going to be different! Does this mean if I want to take the level 1/2 exams, I'd need to do these in Scotland!?

  • @RealityCheck6T9
    @RealityCheck6T9 11 лет назад +1

  • @emmaraspin4267
    @emmaraspin4267 11 лет назад +3

    Sonia may be a qualified BSL interpreter but this doesnt mean she is qualified to TEACH BSL.
    My questions are:
    Is she qualified to teach?
    Is she qualified to teach BSL?
    Has she attended training to learn how to teach BSL as a language?
    The general consensus among the Deaf community (& many BSL interpreters agree too!) that Deaf people who are native BSL users with suitable training & qualifications are the best people to learn BSL from. Pls also remember that job opps for Deaf ppl are limited.

    Should Deaf people more opportunity to teach BSL, not qualified BSL interpreters (too much speaking, and lip patterns are not allowed). You should know.

  • @annemacleod4227
    @annemacleod4227 4 года назад

    This is waaay too fast. It put me off signing until I found a sign language book where I could learn sign by sign. I'm a teacher and if I went that fast teaching kids to read and write they'd all be illiterate. I think you need to go slow, build up the learners knowledge gradually with lots and lots of practise of the same signs initially, to build up the learners confidence and skills. Once you're at a basic level of signing then this would be a great video but for complete beginners its just useless.
