Hi guys! My names Mollie, and I would love to learn British Sign Language as I think it is an absolutely amazing thing and believe it should be taught in schools!

I’m learning BSL for my DofE a because i think its a useful skill to have.

Hi everyone! My name is Hannah and i'm learning BSL to help with a job i've just started. I've always thought it was interesting to learn and would help others to feel more included, can't believe it isn't taught in school to be honest. Would love to make some new friends to learn BSL alongside and maybe give me some feedback! ☺️

Hi Ethan I'm thinking about creating a BSL learner group chat for level 1/beginners. Thinking maybe a whatsapp group where we communicate via muted video message (and text if needed). If this is something you'd be interested in email me [email protected]

Hi guys, I hope this is allowed. I was thinking of starting a level 1/beginner practice group on WhatsApp where we communicate via muted video message. If this is something you're interested in drop me a message at [email protected]

Hi everyone, I'm currently on level 2 BSL. I wanted to learn sign language to enable my writing workshops to be fully inclusive. I am struggling with structure and literally remembering everything while not getting enough practice. Hope to meet some nice people through this forum. I am in Liverpool.

Hi all Ive wanted to learn sign language for many years. I have a cousin who signs and I loved watching her but same old … No time ! Anyway I’ve made time (even switched job to give me more control of what I want to do) so off to college I went and haven’t looked back. I passed level 1 before Christmas and have started level 2. I am struggling a bit as I feel I need more contact with people who sign. I’ve joined a couple of groups 1 in Liverpool and one more local. Love it ! Anyway happy signing everyone ❤️

Hi all, my name is Tayo and learn something new every month to keep me busy in a less rigid way than my usual STEM job and after doing a psychology course I’d like to learn BSL. I started a week ago but then I realised I’d need someone to practice onlinewith to accelerate my learning and maybe just allow me practice more as I’m doing this mainly because I want to be that person in the room able to mediate if there’s ever need for it and make sure people in the non hearing community feel included, as it’s not something taught in school(I believe it should be).

Hello Drift. I too am left-handed and have the same problem. Wendy

Hello Drift. I think we have met in the NW Deaf Cafe’ ? This , I founded two years ago and after an unsure beginning it has grown to such a wonderfully happy place to be. As well as monthly Deaf Cafe’ we have monthly Deaf Pub (!) and weekly conversation table. We have people with all sorts of BSL skills and those just learning in the free beginner’s classes in our local library. I enjoy leading these very much. From a neighbouring village a few people came to visit our Deaf Cafe’ last year and are now setting up their own . This is wonderful for the area where we find many people with hearing impairments are isolated. As no- one in this village currently signs , I am introducing them to the BSL basics and their enthusiasm is so rewarding. Such a great thing for a village to decide to do. I too have a problem practising conversation though ; I have so much still to learn ! I returned to BSL many years after my first venture in 1992 when I passed the exam, now known as Level 1. Good luck with your Level2 .

Hello everyone, I'm Giorgia, I decided to start learning British Sign Language because I’m curious and genuinely care about connecting with people in more inclusive ways. Through my work, I support and train people from many different backgrounds, and learning BSL feels like a meaningful step to better support others and reduce barriers. I’m starting with a basic BSL course and I’m excited to learn and grow along the way.

Hi I'm Polly, I learned very basic BSL when I was a childminder, and really enjoyed it. I currently work with the police and I am looking for a career change. The idea of becoming a BSL interpreter really appeals to me , but I am struggling to find the information I need. I understand the route to becoming an interpreter is long and costly and the accessibility for me in Lincolnshire is very limited. But any help anyone can give into how I can start my journey would be hugely appreciated. Xx

Hi, I'm Effie. I'm autistic. Sometimes, when I get particularly dysregulated, I find speech difficult. I'm also highly sensitive to noise and love the idea of being able to communicate silently. I've always been interested in signing, and finally decided to have a go at learning.

This is a valid topic, I too am left handed and can't get above 21 on the speed test as those hands are not as I see my own hands!

Hello! How did your first exam go? I wasn't a member on here when you posted, but in Level 1 your exams aren't expected to be in sign order, my tutor didn't teach sign order until Level 2. I'm currently doing Level 2 and must sign in the correct bsl structure in my exams. Drift

Hello, my name is Drift. I started to learn BSL as a hobby, resulting in falling in love with this beautiful language and progressing to level 2. Would love to practice signing more often.

Learning BSL has been something I had been interested in for some time, but like most ideas I didn't actually do anything to actually make this happen, until one day at work..... I work for the ambulance service, responding to those emergency 999 calls. Now this particular day was a dark early start and our first job or the day was a welfare check for a patient that wasn't responding to their lifeline call. The job came through stating that the patient was deaf, was give the keys safe details so we could gain entry to the property. The patient was alright, but they were only aware of our presence when we turned on his bedroom light. In al honesty I felt ashamed and disappointed with myself that the only way we could communicate was through typing messages on a mobile phone. That is why I am learning BSL. I'm still very early on in my BSL journey but it has already come in useful.

Hi, I work in theatre. Several shows are signed for the patrons. I thought it would be very useful to have the ability to be able to sign to make their experience in coming to the theatre more enjoyable.

Hello, my name is Beth. I'm learning BSL as part of my DofE course. I also think it's a really important skill to have, and a very very important language

Hi I'm just starting out on BSL. I work in a school, I just wanted to learn BSL and have joined an informal group as there's no courses in my area at present.

So far, I am really enjoying my BSL journey. I think that it is something I would’ve never done and I’m glad I’m pushing myself to do it. I think it’s great and everyone should have a go and take a chance and start to learn it because you never know when it will come in Handy

Hello, my name is ellie and I started learning BSL because I think it is important as an inspired aspiring teacher to be able to help the ability to educate all pupils with all different abilities. BSL has really helped me and made it easy to understand.
