my name is ethan, i am a disabled trans person and i wanted to learn BSL as a hearing person because, if the opportunity ever arises, i'd love to be able to communicate efficiently with Deaf people. i'd also really like to do my part in making the Deaf community feel more accepted, and seeing disabled people in media and irl makes me feel incredibly seen and less alone, so why not do my part to make that a reality for Deaf people? -

I would love to find someone to practice with, the video zone on this site never seams to be working, as no moderators are present. Would anyone like to do some practice via Zoom? I'm free most of the evenings. All ability welcome, I'm currently doing lvl2. -
Non-spoken languages such as sign language are largely disregarded and rarely considered as an option when learning a new language. Sign continues to face a lower valuation compared to spoken languages, a valuation that I think is incorrect. I decided to learn sign as it allows me to connect with a community that is highly overlooked in most populations aswell as general interest in learning different ways of communicating with people. -

I'm not an expert, but what I have leaned so far with BSL structure, you want to "paint a picture" 1. Time (now, past, future, this week etc) 2. What are you talking about 3. Describe it Also throw away all the "is, the, an, a" Example; Sing (I) love, Jazz favourite. Sometimes (I) perform, extra money earn. Saxophone (I) play and piano my hobby. Keep it short and clear Someone said, think about it like "baby Yoda" talk, it does help to get the sentences right. 👍 -

Hi everyone. My name is Tom and I'm 40yrs old. I've started to learn BSL so I can communicate with my cousin who is Deaf. I know a little already but am about to start level 1 in a couple of weeks. If anyone would like to chat or practice get in touch

Hello everyone! I'm Natalia, I'm currently doing LVL2 BSL and looking for people to practice with. I started to learn BSL after meeting a profoundly deaf student (I'm a driving instructor) and I (and He) didn't like to communicate via messages or speech to text apps. I found BSL was better way to communicate, gave more confidence to my student and since then I found, I really enjoy to learn more. Hopefully with more time and effort I can become fluent in the future. -
