I am saying that even with ASL being my second language, there was enough learning transferable from ASL grammatical markers that I was able to pick up some BSL really quickly.  The same skills that assist with ASL, help with BSL.  While fingerspelling is really different in BSL, the closure skills used in ASL fingerspelling help with quickly being able to pick up words in BSL.

I'm not Deaf and ASL is my second language but it helped me transfer learning to a 3rd language (or second signed langauge).
