So for this lesson, we're gonna be practicing three different games, two of which for seem in the first game lesson for the first game, I'll say letter, and then you have three seconds to produce up to yourself. So, for example, I would say, being when you have three seconds to do this, be after three seconds, I will, of course, give you the answer. So, without further ado, let's get into it. Your first left is letter M and could be formed like this. Your next letter is the left p. He could be formed. What? This No next letter is the letter k. Okay. Is form like this?

E I don't if you got all those correct as usual, if he struggled trying redoing the game, I'm going over the lessons again to make sure you fully understand how form it's left. But without further ado, let's hope the next game this next game is about you being able to produce more than one letter in one go. Therefore, I'll be reading at a short word again. But you and then you'll have 10 seconds to inform that word yourself. So, for example, I would say the word map and then you'd have 10 seconds to do this and a P Then after 10 seconds is up, I would of course, give you the answer. So without further ado, let's gettinto Your first word is the word pain P a i n pain can be spelt like this p Okay , I and your next word is the word Jack J A C k Jack can we spoke like this J a si Ok, what is the word?

Kick can be spent like this. Okay, I see. Okay. Well, don't forget that. All those correct, if not as per usual, my advice would be to redo the game until you get them all correct or rewatch. The lessons on how toe create each letter. Good luck. Anyway, Without further ado, let's jump the next game. Okay? Now you're a master producing the letters and worked yourself. What happens if somebody wants to communicate a work to you with finger spelling? This could be a name or any word. So this game is about recognizing words. So, for example, a well finger spell the word then you'll have to recognize, which would I'm spelling. I'll do it twice and leave a couple of seconds coming off. Give you the answer. So pause if you want extra time. So for example, I will do this there after a few seconds. Alto, I would tell you the answer which has been without further ado. Let's see our first word. That word was, of course, Ben Our next word is this. That was, of course, cake. Our next. What is this? That word was, of course, Pia. Our next word is this.

Medium speed, a conversational speed on an expert speed. It's really expect speed. You're really affluent. Really? Bring it on
26. A - Z : Applying the alphabet to real phrases: all right. You've now stood in the whole outfit from a to set. However, it's important that you're able to use them for certain things spelling in real life situations. So in this lesson would be going through five set phrases which at the end you'll add a word which will think spell out yourself. Firstly will study how to say my name is plus your name. You will spell your name out using fingers fella, you say my name is by attaching to things like this like a salute and then flicking a wrist like my name. That's name then you saved mine name My didn't spot your name. So for me you would be My name is E T H A N. Practices yourself. Let's go through it one more time. My name is E T h. A. As a side note is important to recognize, how would old works in British sign language when we're using set phrases with fingers smelly in sunt in British Simon, which you put the topic of the sentence that the start of the sentence so well. Now apply this to the next set phrase Next set phrases I like. I like his I like then to practice finger spelling. You will then spell out something that you like using finger spelling. So if you don't pull, mine would be football. However, because the topic is football, football goes at the start to the sentence it would be football. I live. This is the same for you. Pause the video in practice it before we move on to the next set phrase Next set phrase is saying how you don't like I don't like is don't like work on the facial expression I don't like Remember, the topic of the sentence goes at the start of the phrase for me. I don't like dance. So I will spell out down some and said I don't like set for me. You would be dance d a then see e I I don't like positivity in practice it yourself before we move on to the next that France. The next set phrase we're going to learn is how what you workhouse. Remember The topic of the sentence goes to the starts when you finger spell out what you work. House number two years to the start of the sentence. So for me, I'm a teacher teaching this online course. So I am. I work as a teacher. Would be t e a C h e r. Work me. I worked as a teacher. Practice this yourself with your own job on the move onto the next help London except phrase. The next step phrase to learn is where you will live your fingers about where you lift something. You'll do the phrase I live. You feel this, you will say leave. You'll say the place you live for me London Then lift me from the signed live You've filled in your middle finger and really took part This live may so mine would be I live in London , London Live May This would be l Oh, then, De Oh, and believe me, practices on your own on end Let's move on to the next part of this lesson. Now have gone through the set phrases and utilize finger spelling in practical real life. Now I would like you to go through all the five set phrases together. Mine would be My name is Ethan. E T H a N. I like football football o t b a l l I like I don't like guns D a N C E make both don't like dense. I work the teacher T e a C h e r work May I'm Finally I live in London. 00 and D o and live may feel free to do this yourself on, perhaps record a video and upload it to the project section of Skill Shack. If you're not that confident, that's fine. Just make sure you practice these set phrases and fingers spelling in real life. Then you'll truly now that you've learned a useful skill.
27. A - Z (slow speed): fantastic. Now we're going to give it to slow speed. Good look.
28. A - Z (medium speed): fantastic. Now you've completed. It's too slow. Speed will now move on to the next level. She's a medium speed good look.
29. A - Z (conversational speed): brilliant nave completed it a medium speed, remember? From to a conversational speed, which is a bit more fast paced. I wish you good look and go over a few times if you don't quite get it the first time.
30. A - Z (expert speed): at last, we've reached expert level. If you can do this, you've really conquered that. This is even quicker than a conversational speed. I wish you a very good look and Trey hardest.
31. Conclusion: Hello. For a final time, I hope you've enjoyed this cost. As much as I've enjoyed making it. And you've learned a very valuable and useful skill during this cause.
