I don’t hate Makaton, just dislike Makaton. Don’t learn Makaton, LEARN BRITISH SIGN LANGUAGE.

See this papers? It’s British Sign Language, that how Makaton “stole” BSL. Learn BSL instead.

It’s Deaf Awareness week this week so we’ve been learning how to communicate through sign and makaton with youth worker Fatima. 👍👌👋👏 @younggreenwich #deafawarenessweek

@LibrariesNL What about BSL?

[Axel North @AxelNorth1]

@lainey02wilson @EssexPR and visit https://t.co/i9SgAcGVV2.ukfor information and resources about BSL and Deaf culture.

[Axel North @AxelNorth1]

@lainey02wilson @EssexPR That is wonderful that Makaton worked so well for him as a toddler. It must have made a huge difference in helping you communicate with your son. I have met deaf autistic children who use British Sign Language, BSL, and are thriving, taking part in Deaf clubs and community events

[Axel North @AxelNorth1]

@lainey02wilson @EssexPR While Makaton can be very helpful, especially in the early years, its vocabulary is quite limited compared with BSL. BSL is a complete language and opens up opportunities to connect with the wider Deaf community. You may also find it useful to follow the British Deaf Association

@GinjaninjaMask @BSL4all Not rude. Makaton still is not language. End of.

[Axel North @AxelNorth1]

@StMaryB17 This is British Sign Language

[Axel North @AxelNorth1]

@Shocky_Nene Makaton is not sign language

[Axel North @AxelNorth1]

@SqMileFamilies This is British Sign Language

[Axel North @AxelNorth1]

@deemoorecom £90?!? Just don’t, learn basic bsl is only £50!

[Axel North @AxelNorth1]

@anorderlyqueue Actually it’s British Sign Language, not Makaton, during several live performances of Lift Me Up in 1999. A Deaf culture website specifically notes that she performed the song using British Sign Language as part of the choreography and presentation.

@SqMileFamilies This is British Sign Language

[Axel North @AxelNorth1]

@WolvesIASS Not Makaton, Makaton is not a language. What about BSL?

[Axel North @AxelNorth1]

@lainey02wilson @EssexPR Hope it is not Makaton?

Everybody should learn BSL.

[Axel North @AxelNorth1]

@MintSauceSarnie @CharlotteCGill No. He “stole” BSL and using it on broadcast TV. Disgusting

[Axel North @AxelNorth1]

@kthyigkr @CharlotteCGill Makaton is not sign language. Not a real language.

[Axel North @AxelNorth1]

@ilikeradios @CharlotteCGill But he used “fking” and “vagina” on broadcast TV. Embarrassing.

@muslimah_han @AnushaLDN Just remember that if BSL didn’t happens, Makaton won’t be exist. Yeah Makaton “stole” BSL and very limited. My child learn Makaton, ‘good afternoon” but turn out it’s “good Hitler” also Mr Tumble use “Happy” but it’s actually “fking” Embarrassing is it?

[Axel North @AxelNorth1]

Oh gosh…
