With the number of spare time activities out there, I could learn them all and make as many videos to cover them but I’m not right now. If I learnt them all I would be very proud of myself. The previous post showed the signs for the spare time signs that I did learn during my introduction course.

For this post, I am using those I have learnt to put them together into sentences to show whether I love, like or dislike the activity. I’ve done a few for each category to show how these can be signed.

Love:

1. I love writing
2. I love reading
3. I love meeting my friends

Like: 

1. I like the cinema
2. I like dancing
3. I like sign language

Dislike:

1. I don’t like running
2. I don’t like cricket
3. I don’t like video games

Some of my own loves, likes and dislikes shown in the videos. What are yours?

There’s a number of spare time activities to learn, more then I have learnt in this series. Many of them, however, have obvious body movements. Be careful when watching, as a couple of signs have similar actions, for example, Cricket and Hockey. Think about the small differences; how the bat or stick is held and lip patterns.

Whether the activities are those you’re interested in or not; it’s still good to learn them. If it’s an interest of someone else, you’ll understand them. As there are quite a few signs, I’ve split them up into alphabetical videos. Some letters may be combined if there’s only one or two for that letter.

1. Basketball
2. Birdwatching

C:

1. Car Racing
2.  Computer Games
3.  Computers
4. Cricket
5. Cycling

D and F:

1. Dancing
2. Driving
3. Football
4. Fishing

G and K:

1. Going to a Resturant
2. Going to the Cinema
3. Kayaking

L and M:

1. Listening to the Radio
2. Meeting my Friends
3. Music

P:

1. Playing the Guitar
2. Playing the Piano
3. Playing the Violin

R:

1. Reading
2. Relaxing
3. Rugby
4. Running

S:

1. Sailing

S continued and T:

1. Skiing
2. Surfing
3. Swimming
4. Tennis

W:

2. Watching TV
3. Watching Videos
4. Writing

That is a lot to learn. To break up this post I will continue the likes, dislikes and loves of spare time activities on the next post in the series. Take the time to process the spare time signs.

Next: Spare Time: Love, Like and Dislike

Using the past two BSL Video Series posts on Family Members and Describing Vocab I have put together sentences and questions and answers to describe my own family members and my own features to help develop my signing. There are a few videos shown in this post; take the time to learn the signs from the previous posts so that putting them into a sentence will seem easier to follow.

The first video is showing the signs to describe my eye colour:

This second video is showing the signs to answer me being engaged and single:

This third video is showing signs to answer me being married with 2 children:

Family Members:

This video is showing the signs describing my Brothers hair:

This video is showing the signs to describe my Grandmas age:

This video is showing the signs to describe my Mothers shape:

This video is showing the signs to describe my Sisters height:

This video is showing the signs to describe my Parents martial status:

This video is showing signs of describing members of my family in one:

From these past three posts: Do you think you’d be able to describe yourself and some of your family members?
