I know a little asl, enough to have a conversation, anyway, and this was really interesting how some of the signs were so similar to asl. Really enjoyed the film!

but almost half of their signs were exactly like asl! I watched this thinking this was ASL, thought it was remedial ASL until friend of mine explained to me this was BSL lol
