I'm so used to reading lips I seem to not be able to concentrate on signs. I'm trying to learn BSL using online resources at the minute and I've noticed I just keep focussing on the signers lips to lipread the words, which isn't helping in the slightest, especially considering the structure of sentences is different. I don't know how to block off looking at their lips and focus on their hands >< is there anyone that could give me some tips?
I'd try to cover up their lips or something but I need to see what facial expressions go with the signs etc.
