Hi everyone! My name is Alisha and I am 21 years old! I am a complete newbie to sign language! I started it as I work in a coffee shop and we have a number of regular deaf customers so I wanted to be able to communicate with them! I love learning all different languages and am currently studying French, German, Spanish and Italian at Newcastle University.Does anyone have any tips on how best o practise sign langauge? Thank you for your help everyone!

I'm so happy many people managed to join today's session. I was called in to take a shift so I didn't make it. To the future of these group meetings!

Hey everyone! I am super excited to be here My daughter was born with a hearing impairment and wears a hearing aid every day, all day. Since I found out about her HI, I have made a conscious effort to include her in the deaf children's community and try to promote the inclusion of deaf students more in schools (I have been a school teacher for a decade, so I started a BSL project in my previous school to do this). I took my BSL Level 1 exam (Signature) last week and am expected to pass with flying colours! Yay! With that said, I am unbelievably excited to start my Level 2 in September and have been searching high and low for a group / forum just like this, where I can meet other BSL students / people from the deaf community and practice my skills. I look forward to meeting many of you soon (although, likely through Zoom!) Best wishes, Sarah
