Hello when I was young I learned some signs for greek sign language and I really liked that I was able to help some deaf people in the street that asked me some questions. The thing is that I tottally forgot sign language (approximantely 4 years since I used it properly) so I want to refresh it in my memory.

The guy that teached me is dead (and there are no other people that I know of that could help me out, but I'm trying to find) so basically I'm stuck with the internet. The thing is that it's really difficult to find something proper on the internet because of some trollish or very hard to understand videos so I would like you to give me some links if you happen to know.

there are thousands of videos (for the international sign language) so it's kinda difficult to find a good one.

For the GSL it's even harder because there aren't lots of people that learn sign language if they don't have to, so most videos are about translating songs to the sign language or some stories and the alphabet. there was just one video in gsl that was practically helpful but the words that the boy explained were based in luck for example: good morning, sun, football, fish etc etc so it's kinda difficult to follow, after all it's just one good video.
