Thankyou for this . Your videos are so clear and understandable. I love the slow motion explanation . It makes it so much easier to learn the sign.

I'd like to applaud you for making this easy to see, and also for signing more slowly. You are very easy to understand.

Thank you for this very helpful video! I have realised there is some overlapping in BSL. For example, the same sign is used for "mother" and for "Monday." Additionally, the same sign is used for "father" and for "Friday." Would you just use context clues to differentiate between the 2 or is there a subtle difference I haven't picked up on?

How is Monday different from mum? Is it the lip reading the helps tell the difference. Same with son and boy

This is an amazing thing to do and I love learning BSL. Thanks!!

Ahhh most of them are coming from the alphabet! So its practically fingerspelling mm, tt, ww, th, ff, sat - and sunday you're happy it's sunday 😀
Tuesday is the same sign for toilet which also uses the tt sign. So i guess context and mouth is what differentiate these two?

I'm a bit confused since some people say Saturday is rubbing the back of your hand. Is there any correct way or are they all fine to use?

[lucilethelightbringer]

Dan, thanks a million!!! Does it mean when we say Happy Sunday we do the same sign twice?

[icturner]

Your videos are great but they are focused on nouns and adjectives. Please can you show more verbs?

[violetevergarden]

Monday & mother... Friday & father... Why they are same signs? Won't it make confusion?

[katiearnold]

Is the sign for monday and mum the same?

[icturner]

Too many signs are just the first letter of the English word twice. What’s the difference between ‘Monday’ and ‘mother’ and ‘Friday’ and ‘father’?

Hi I've seen a different version of some of the days of the week..For Monday I saw the m sign followed by opening out both hands (palms inwards), same for other days..and for Friday I saw the F sign but the two fingers on top CIRCLING the bottom. Which would be right? or does it really matter?
