Hello Hannah, lovely to meet you. Well done on putting yourself out there and learning BSL. I am also new to learning BSL. Not very confident to do a video, but wanted to say welcome and send some positive vibes. It was great to see the signs learned in your video. Lorna

Same here! I started in 2020 during Covid as i wanted to learn a new skill but I wasn't consistent and eventually forgot about it. However, I'm now back 5 years later haha and I'm determined to be fluent! Feel free to reach as i would love to communicate with others too

Hi everyone! I am Hannah and I'm 36. I am from east Sussex (which I forgot to sign in my video!!) I have wanted to learn sign language since I was a teen but never got around to it. Unfortunately now due to chronic illness I no longer work and have the time to learn. There is also a dead person in my building who loves to chat but it can be difficult sometimes so I figured now is my chance!!

Having an awareness of sign language is so important. Being able to communicate with others and be inclusive is part of what makes us the sociable species we are. Making BSL available to more people and even at school from an early age would help everyone communicate more easily. I'm also learning to keep my mind active and to help with some volunteering I do.

hi i have a question, i have seen sentances structured "name me what ..." or "age me what..." is the what part nessessary in informal conversations?

Hi, I have wanted to learn BSL for a long time, but have only recently got around to it. I am a rugby player going into cardiac physiology and want to be able to communicate with any patients whose preferred communication method is BSL. Feel free to reach out, as I would love to communicate with others who know BSL.

Hi my name is Sara I have always been keen to learn BSL, having done small amounts in the past at school/youth groups, but have taken the decision to teach myself now as a hobby mainly but also as a result of starting to suffer from hearing loss at 46. I work at a University and feel it may be a good tool and skill to potentially help any students needing support being a bonus.

thank you for your reply. the full script of what im signing is under the video if that helps. keep going to! I hope your enjoying learning

hi hannah great signing very clear

Hi everyone, I have enrolled in this course, due to having a voice condition called Spasmodic dysphonia making communication extremely difficult on day to day basis . Over the last few years I have been doing a counselling course and feel for me to continue with this I need to have another form of communication.

Learning BSL is something I've wanted to do for a long time. My uni course has just finished and I have more time available so now seemed like a good time to start.

Hi there. I'm Michelle and I from the north east of England. I've been intending to learn sign language for a long time and I've just started learning this week. So far I'm absolutely loving it!

Hi Ricci, just wanted to say that, I don’t know how long you’ve been learning but you’re streets ahead of me lol. I only started on 27th June. I tried to follow your signing but got totally lost. I managed to work out a couple of words, like teaching assistant, the fact you’re married to billie and you have 2 children. Hopefully when, and if, I get to your stage I’ll be able to follow your video without keep stopping it and going back! Well done mate, keep going 👍

We have our groceries delivered and one of the delivery drivers is deaf. I want him to join in with a conversation while my wife and I pack the groceries into bags and make him feel welcome if that makes sense. It’s something we’ve both been interested in for a while now but haven’t had the time to persue it. Now I’ve finally retired, I can dedicate time to learning. I don’t have hobbies because I haven’t found, until now, something that interests me. I hope that, one day, I can go to a local deaf community hall or somewhere and engage in conversation and maybe I’ll be able to help in some way.

Hello everyone. My name is Andy and I’m from Brighton. I’m 70 years old and have taken up learning BSL at last. They say it’s never too late to learn so thought I’d test that theory lol. I hope to become proficient but we’ll see.

Hi everyone. I'm Richie from the Republic of Ireland but now based in Pontypridd. I've always wanted to learn sign language in order to understand and communicate with deaf/Deaf communities. I'm actually a musician and speak a couple of languages, but I've always been a visual learner, so BSL suits me down to the ground and I'm absolutely loving the course! I can't wait to meet fellow signers and express myself in BSL

👍

Hi 😊 Have you tried on Instagram or Facebook? There are many groups on FB. I also joined a few. Good luck

Me too. 😁 How many signs have you learned so far? 😃

Hi everyone I'm Danna. I live in London. I’m a polyglot. I can speak 8 languages. I work as an ESOL teacher. I had a lovely encounter with 2 lovely gentlemen who were using BSL. That really made me stop and think: I can teach and communicate in multiple spoken languages, but I wasn’t able to do the same with someone who uses sign language. That moment inspired me to start learning BSL. I’m fascinated by how we can express complex ideas, thoughts, and emotions just through our hands, face, and body. It’s such a rich and visual way to communicate, and I’m excited to keep learning and connecting with others in this community. Looking forward to learning from you all! 🤩

Hi Michael. I got about 19 about 4 to 5 months ago; I've gradually increased the speed I set when I start, and current score is about 30, so like Willow says, just keep practising... I'm doing a part time course, and watching quite a few videos, so it isn't just this site. I can get higher scores if i type as i see each letter, but my comprehension is better if I wait for the whole word, then type - so that's what I'm doing.

Hello, I am Casey, I recently started learning BSL because it seems like a very useful skill to have. I am greatly enjoying the course so far!

Hi Michael, I've found that doing the finger spelling challenge a few times each day has helped me to increase my scores. I can also touch type, which really helps. All the best with your applications for work in the care sector. Melanie
