Hi, I'm in a very similar situation and am part way through Level 1 online. I'm near Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire but haven't found a club yet. Whereabouts are you? Happy to meet up if you are vaguely local. -

Hello, my name is Helen and I have become progressively more hard of hearing since I was 42 (I'm now 61). I wear aids in both ears and am aware that I may become profoundly deaf, so I have begun to learn BSL. I am an instrumental tutor so this raises some challenges but I teach one-to-one so can manage quite well at present. I am just completing a five week introduction to BSL with my daughter - which is great because we can practice together! Mainly I become frustrated with my inability to absorb new signs as fast as I would like...but I expect that applies to most people. By co-incidence I have a deaf from birth dog who I have taught various signs and he responds very well! Just wanted to ask whether anyone here who is doing BSL has found a club locally where they have gone to make friends and practise signing - it seems to be a recommendation for doing Level 1. -

The Famlingo app is a mobile library of short video clips demonstrating British Sign Language (BSL) signs with spoken English. It would be especially useful for people who are learning signs for Early Years to ensure you are learning BSL signs rather than ASL ones. This means you can also use these signs to communicate with members of the Deaf Community who use BSL. The app allows subscribers to access a library of over 250 high-quality sign videos that are demonstrated by a Level 6 BSL Qualified signer. The topics covered in the library are: Alphabet Animals Colours Conversation Family Feelings and Emotions Food and Drink Numbers Questions Toys and Activities Transport and Vehicles Weather For more info on how to access the app, please contact:

Hello! When I was 16, I went to Sheffield College to learn BSL (15 years ago). During those 5 years, I had 3 amazing Deaf BSL tutors who gave me a strong start in my learning and are still part of my journey now! It’s rare to find highly qualified BSL tutors who can also give you their personal experience of Deaf History/Culture and what it is like being Deaf and living in the Hearing world. The college had been offering the Signature BSL qualifications every year but for an unknown reason, they decided to withdraw the courses in August 2018 meaning there wasn’t anywhere for people to get the high-quality BSL teaching that was available before in Sheffield. I’m excited that I can help offer others the same opportunity I had when I was a teenager, to learn from one of my tutors who still has a big impact on my life! She is hoping to start up teaching BSL and this is a taster of her future lessons! Please, could you invite anyone local to Sheffield who might like to learn sign language and share with your friends!
Thanks

Hey there! Part of the course assessment is to share your story about why you started learning BSL. And here I am! The truth is, I work in sound. And am fascinated about all things sound, which makes me just as interested as to how we communicate withOUT sound! Ever since i can remember I have been interested in communicating with deaf people. As my job so relies on being able to hear, it always made me wonder what it would be like to live without the ability to hear. I know, it sound odd. But thats the reason! -
