Hi all, Im Rob im 24 years old from Preston in the UK. I am deaf in both ears and have been all my life. I'm learning sign language so that in the future I can help deaf people in fitness and help them achieve their fitness goals. I am currently living out in Australia in Melbourne. I would love to connect with as many of you as i can on instagram and help have some accountability for learning sign language.

Hi 👋 My name is Sarah. I have just finished my BSL L1 with Teach Me Sign, fantastic course and teacher. I am waiting patiently for my test results from Signature and hope to start my L2 in September. I come here most days to practise my fingerspelling receptive skills, and admire people getting scores of 60+ so much! You are slaying it. I am lucky enough to have a job working with people who first language is BSL and I am determined to get more confident and fluent so I can have better conversations. My aim is that one day they won't need to use their access to work allowance for our chats!

Hello everyone, I'm not very good at forums an whatnot but here we go. I've been interested in learning sign language for a number of years, I tried books but it doesn't allow you to converse with someone and you have no idea if you're doing it right. I can hear and don't know anybody from the deaf community personally but just want to create a more inclusive world, even if its only my little world. I hoping to start signing with someone soon, but for now the course I'm doing has been very helpful. I currently work for one of the Oxford University colleges and I hope one day I may be able to support and encourage students using BSL. Thank you for reading my rambling

Many years ago, I was artistic director of a small scale touring theatre company in Scotland, and I wanted to make our work as accessible as possible to as many people as possible. I engaged a mime artist who was also an experienced speaker of BSL to work with us, and she created a beautiful character who only communicated in BSL, and she taught the other cast members a few signs so that they could supplement their spoken text when necessary. I aimed to learn BSL myself, but life and the universe had other plans for me. Now is my time. I'm ready.
