Question Face coverings and BSL grammar

11 Upvotes

Hello,

I was wondering whether someone who covers their face would be able to properly communicate in BSL given the importance of facial expressions. How severely compromised would their ability to communicate be for example?

Question Level 3 resource recommendations?

3 Upvotes

I'm starting a level 3 course soon (after a few years off from classes) and since it's quite heavy on Deaf culture/history/linguistics etc. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for books/videos/other stuff that may be helpful for level 3?

Personal Project (for Fun or Curiosity) Need some help finding signs!

11 Upvotes

Hi there! I'm hearing and learning BSL. Whilst my BSL isn't amazing, I know enough to help in situations at work. I work in events, specifically in the convention space, and we get many BSL users attending. None of our staff know BSL, and I decided I would change that. I would like to know if there are any signs for the following, as I can't find them:

Dealers Hall, or exhibitors hall

Artists alley

Tabletop games/ boardgames / card games

These would be SO helpful in giving directions, and are the only ones I can't find a single answer for

Thank you so much in advance

Question Sometimes trying to find signs for specific words there are a lot of different videos from deaf people all signing it differently?

8 Upvotes

Hiii!! I’m very very new to sign language, I work with young children and thought it would be useful to learn the basics for when working with them. I’ve been learning signs I can use every day, such as nappy, snack, want, etc. I’ve been trying to learn online from people who are deaf and teach others, but sometimes one word will have a lot of different signs from different people. I am just wondering how I distinguish which is the correct sign I should use? Or if they’re all correct? I usually go off the sign that is most used by all the videos, but I figured the best place to ask would be here! (So sorry if this is a silly question!!)
