Being a visual communication im hoping British sign language will be easier to pick up than other languages which rely mainly on auditory processing. Good luck on your learning journey -

Hello Everyone, my name is julia, im learning BSL because its always fascinated me and i like being able to communicate with and understand others. -
I am learning BSL because I have a two and a half year old daughter who is non verbal and deaf in one ear. This way we can start to communicate with each other. -

What I mean is that you've learned so much by yourself or elsewhere that the teachers think you're too advanced for a level 1 class but you would start at level 2 and start getting qualifications from there. Or do you think it's worth it to get a level 1 as well? For example, when I did french evening classes, I learned enough French by myself to go straight to intermediate/gsce classes and not start at the beginner ones. -

I'm in a very similar boat to you. I also have some issues with hearing/auditory processing as well but because I'm autistic and have panic disorder I can often get non-verbal when overwhelmed and it's happened during uni before, even, and it was really hard to deal with. Compared to other languages I've studied, BSL has not been that hard to learn for me.

Transcription: "Hello. Name me El and I'm student university. Sign Language, I think, beautiful language, and I want learn sign language." Hey everyone. I'm El (he/him), I'm 20 years old and I'm a uni student and wannabe polyglot. Whilst my passion for learning languages is a reason why I am learning BSL, I have some difficulties with hearing/auditory proccessing (not fully known yet) and I'm a semi-verbal autistic so I sometimes use sign to communicate if not AAC. If I have time, I might consider taking a Level 1 course that's in my local area, as I enjoy the environment of adult learning from when I did GSCE french evening classes at college. Currently, I am learning from watching videos on youtube and using the SignBSL app if I need to look up a word. Also, feel free to correct how I sign :)

My 1 year old can sign all his needs to me eg: milk, tired, nappy, food. This is before he is able to verbally express his needs to me which I think is amazing. So I thought, wouldn’t it be lovely to be able to do parent and baby/toddler classes where I can teach them too!
