ok Donna, it is showing you need to turn your mic on or volume up. Unmute yourself.

I'm sorry, but I don't know how to switch the camera/microphone on. I tried to get on early, for any teething problems but didn't expect this to happen.

Hi Carole, I can see you in the room. I'm trying to get on but it's saying I'm unable to use microphone and camera. Bear with me, I am trying. Donna

perfect Donna see you at 4 tomorrow

Hello Everyone! My name is Leigha and I just started learning BSL. I'ts something I've always wanted to learn and I'm looking forward to putting it all into practice! I currently work at a SEN secondary school and we use Signalong with our students. I'm also quite well versed in Makaton from my previous job and watching Mr Tumble with my children! 😄 looking forward to getting to know fellow BSL students and practicing.

I think i've done it - I have created a new chat room called D&C. Here is the link https://www.signlanguageforum.com/joinme.php?t=YnNsfHx8fHxzbGYtNjc4 I am available tommorrow or Thursday from 4pm, if you're not available those days, then let me know when will be best with you. Look forward to it. Donna

Hi Carole I'm really sorry, but I'm not sure myself, I was hoping you would have been able to tell me 🤣. Not a good start for the pair of us. I'll try and have a look to see if I can find any information about it. Donna

Hi Donna Thank you so much for responding to my post. I would be delighted to practice with you. Can you let me know how to go about this please. Look forward to hearing from you. Carolex

Hiya, I've also included this in my intro post but I'm an early years practitioner who has experience working with deaf children and looking to expand my knowledge.

Hiya I'm Lana and I've worked 1:1 with a school aged deaf child during my career as an early years practitioner. I'm now working with a baby who is deaf and looking to expand my knowledge even further so they get the best start in life possible.

Hello Carole I would love to be a sign buddy with you. I have completed a 10 week beginners course and need to practice. I am available from 4pm on most days. Thank you. Donna

Hi everyone I have just started to learn BSL and just over half way through the course. I am really enjoying it and would love to practice with a buddy. I can be quite flexible in days of the week and time. So, if anyone here is ambitious enough or looking for a buddy, I hope you will consider me. Thanks, Carole.

Hi, I am new to BSL and so pleased I made this decision to to learn this language. I work for myself using different kind of signs and imagery, and, whereby I do public and group speaking. I hope, if I am good enough, to use it within my workplace where people many enjoy my service and benefit from it. I am just over half way through the course. I look forward to learning from other people's knowledge and experiences. best wishes, Carole.

Hi! I'm learning sign language for the first time ever. I'm a teacher and the reason I'm learning is to be able to communicate with Deaf people. There is someone I work with who is Deaf and so far they have had to write a lot down when we communicate. I also understand how frustrating it can get when you find it hard to get across your emotions with words, so I hope I can support others with their communication anxiety in the same way that I've felt it.

Hi there! I'm Phoebe, I'm 25 and I'm an actor living in London. I started learning BSL in the New Year as it's something I've always wanted to do and I'd love to be able to communicate with the d/Deaf community, especially in the performing arts industry. I recently saw the production of As You Like It at the Soho Place in London, which starred several Deaf actors (including Rose Ayling-Ellis) and their use of sign language and physicality really inspired me to learn to be able to learn about and engage with the community more. I'm still a beginner, so I'd love any feedback people might have, and I'm looking forward to continuing to work through my Level 1 course. Love and luck to everyone! Phoebe x🥰

For me, being able to facilitate conversation seems like such a helpful tool to have, not only for myself but for others around me. I imagine it would come in handy no matter which field or career someone goes into, and in general sign language seems like such an interesting language to know. I look forward to continue learning BSL, and hopefully I can maybe someday expand and learn ASL and other sign languages as well!
