Congratulations on completing the course! 🥳

Hi Babnor. I'd be more than happy to practise some BSL with you, if you would like? This also goes to the thread owner.

Hi, Michael. A good thing about the course is that it can be accessed in your free time at times that suit you, and you can always re-cap on some of the modules ready for the final assessment. Do you have any local Deaf clubs that you could visit near to you? If you would like a practise buddy, I'd be more than happy to help.

I've just completed the third module. Work priorities are getting in the way and because I don't live in a deaf community I find I'm going back frequently to relearn because I forget! There's a lot of signs to think about and remember. Bite size chunks works best for me. But really enjoying it. 😊

Hi, Michael. I hope that the course is going well for you! How far are you in it at the moment?

I started this course 2 weeks ago! A real beginner 😀

Hello. The "what" is merely used due to BSL’s topic–comment grammar. Some signers respond with "name me what" to mirror a question that may have been asked (especially if someone wants to know something, such as a name or an age) or to add emphasis on what is about to fingerspelled. In an everyday conversation, or an informal setting, the "what" doesn't have to be included. Hope this helps!

My name is Michael. I am 63 and have been to too many concerts! Result... profoundly deaf in left ear and hard of hearing in right ear. I don't know anyone who signs but given that my hearing is gradually deteriorated it's only time b4 I lose it I think. I'm encountering the usual feelings of isolation and exclusion so that I'd learn sign language to prepare myself. Practice makes perfect I hope.

I started learning earlier this year via YouTube and started classes for the level 1 in September
