    To say wine, take your hand and make a fist. extend the pinky and thumb out. Should look like this🤙. Bring it to your chest and then your thumb up to your mouth in the Sam position, repeat this motion twice. To say which wine meaning white, red or rosé- White: take your index finger and place it on either shoulder and pull of your shoulder Turing it into and upside down point. Red: curl your index finger a little bit, and place it the tip onto your lip and point but keep the curl in your finger Rosé: take your index finger to your cheek but do not directly touch it. Do circles quickly without bending your finger so it faces upwards. After any of these motions put wine in BSL after it.

    why does it have to be "your name what?" why not just "whats your name?"

    because british sign language is not english, it's a whole independent language with its own grammar like other languages

    what level qualification in BSL do you have? what region BSL is this? you syntax needs work and you could easily include cultural conventions when teaching kids. for example you would not actually ask "your name what?" you would simply sign "name what?" if you wanted to clarify whose name you are after "what" would then turn into a referencing point. perhaps you could also show a true example of what you signing at normal speed and without the unnecessary lip pattern then perhaps you could include more NMF. true BSL sytax would be Timeline > Location > object > Subject > verb.

    I think he is showing the correct grammar as it will be beginners who are watching this, so we should learn the correct grammar at first, to then simplify it later :)
