    Our popular 'BSL Level 1 Summer Intensive' course is back. This year, our intensive courses will be held three days per week for four weeks, starting on Tuesday, 28th July and finishing on Thursday 20th August. Classes will be conducted on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 11am to 4pm. This qualification is designed to enable you to develop an ability to communicate with Deaf people using BSL in a range of familiar contexts, participating in more detailed and open-ended exchanges. The course will develop functional communication in BSL about a range of real-life and daily experiences. You will be able to deal with more routine language tasks and have a sufficient grasp of grammar to cope with some non-routine tasks. For more information or to book your place, visit: www.remark.uk.com/bsl-courses/level-1-summer-intensive You can also reach us at: [email protected] / 0207 269 2620 We look forward to seeing you this summer!

    Hi everyone, I’m new to this group & I would love to find someone to practice with. I’m learning BSL level one & I don’t have anyone to practice with, my confidence is low when signing because of it. I’m learning because I’ve always wanted to & think it’s important to do so. I have just failed my 1st exam so confidence is even lower, I don’t want to let myself down or the deaf community. I can do this!!! Is there anyone who can help? Thank you & I hope to find friends

    I’ve always liked builds that already have a story built into them, and the Firehouse is one of those sets that feels like it deserves more than plain shelf space. That is why the lego ghostbusters firehouse light kit catches my eye. Once the lights are on, the whole model feels more like a real late night scene instead of just a finished build. I’m curious whether other people here like adding lighting to display sets or prefer to leave them untouched.

    As a retired man this thread doesn't directly call to me - but, have I missed the link to BSL?

    I like jewelry more when it carries something personal instead of feeling mass made or purely decorative. Seeing someone create BSL jewelry from the basics has that same kind of charm because it turns meaning into something you can actually wear. That is probably why Casual Carats stands out to me. The pieces feel easy enough for everyday life, but they still have that thoughtful side to them, which makes them feel a lot more real than accessories that only look good in theory.

    Hi my name is Amie, my second child has just turnt one years old and at three weeks was confirmed to have moderate hearing loss in both ears. So I am learning BSL so I can be supportive in any way possible and to ensure he has the benefit of having many ways to communicate his needs.

    Love this challenge—I've been refining my own work wardrobe for years, and honestly, five pieces is tight but doable if you choose wisely. Your list is solid, though I'd personally swap the silk shell for a structured knit that travels better and hides coffee stains. My formula leans heavily on classic women's clothing because trends fade but a well-cut blazer or a crisp button-down keeps earning its spot season after season. That's exactly where I'd point anyone looking to build this kind of capsule. Finding pieces that hold their shape, resist wrinkles, and transition from desk to dinner without shouting for attention makes all the difference. A curated closet isn't about deprivation—it's about owning fewer things that actually work. Your list has me rethinking my own five.

    I've been thinking a lot about minimalism lately, and I want to try an experiment. If you had to choose only five classic items to get you through a full year of work (office meetings, casual Fridays, client lunches, the whole deal), what would you pick? No seasonal cheating—these five have to work in summer and winter with layering. My tentative list: a tailored blazer, dark wide-leg trousers, a silk shell top, a crewneck sweater, and a crisp white button-down. I feel like that covers most situations, but I'm already second-guessing myself. Would you swap the shell for a midi skirt? Ditch the sweater for a cardigan? For those who've actually lived with a capsule wardrobe built from classic women's clothing, how many pieces do you find is the real sweet spot? And what's the one 'extra' you always end up adding back in?

    My name is Immarni and I’ve always wanted to learn sign language. I think it’s an important life skill to know and wish it was taught in schools.
  27. AmiMay
    As I am HoH and even with hearing aids I have difficulty understanding people. So I’m learning to help myself and hopefully I can teach my partner and friends. Hopefully eventually I can find more people like me.

    Hello

    AmiMay posted a topic in Introduce Yourself

    Hi I’m Ami-May. I am HoH.. severe hearing loss in left ear and profoundly deaf in right ear. I wear hearing aids. I’m learning BSL for myself so I can communicate better with my partner and friends and hopefully they learn along side me.

    Hello

    Karen S posted a topic in Introduce Yourself

    Hi ! Iam Karen , I would like to join your forum and possibly work with some other people. I decided to do BSL because I needed to exercise my hand and I wanted to do something that was more interesting than just exercising, and I thought BSL might help me with someone if they were deaf.

    I am looking for someone aswell

    Anyone interested in practice buddy.
  35. Ali B
    Years ago I employed a deaf lady who taught me how to finger spell. I never forgot it and could remember it years later. I always wanted to learn more but I have no need for it as such as I don’t know anyone who is deaf. I’m embarrassed to say I can’t really speak any other language than a bit of German, so I’ve decided I need a second language and I’ve chosen BSL. My colleague is learning it too so we can practice with each other. I would love to join up with other learners too!
  36. SSW started following Is my centre making students cheat on the receptive exam?
  37. SSW
    Hi I have been learning BSL for 3 years. I recently completed exams in December and January with my Signature approved centre. Before the receptive exam, we sit in the room (which is not appropriately laid out for a fair exam for everyone anyway) and before we start the exam, the teacher spends about 10 minutes going through a list of signs and their corresponding English words that will appear throughout the receptive exam to help us. Is this cheating?? Does anyone else experience this? It kind of defeats the purpose of a receptive skills exam. And It's not part of the exam conduct anywhere in the exam specification.
  38. Sharron
    My name is Sharron and i am 55 years old. I have 2 absolutely gorgeous grandsons, the second of which was born with Microtia and has been diagnosed as severely deaf. We have been lucky that this diagnosis came within a few weeks of him being born and he has already been fitted with cochlear' s which made an instant difference. i have decided to learn BSL so I can communicate with my grandson on all levels and I'm enjoying it immensely. Thanks for your time and I look forward to reading all your comments and tips for the future.
