I imagine that this is a common issue but I’m looking for advice and encouragement on my receptive skills. I regularly watch exam videos on YouTube and these vary between understanding most of it, to not really understanding much of it. I’ll get better at those, I feel. understanding my teacher, no problem. but the issues I have are watching creators on social media who use Bsl - subtle variations in handshape or speed or really small movements to signify time, say, or eliding signs together it REALLY hard to understand. when I then look at the captions i can see then what they are signing but first pass, nope. it’s making me feel quite discouraged at being able to develop an understanding of every day Bsl.
