I am fairly new to BSL, although I have known the alphabet for almost my whole life. I have always wanted to learn to sign for conversation and communication but have never got around to it. It's a hot topic, quite rightly, at the moment and an interaction (me alphabetically spelling out a directive to a BSL using customer in my job today) have spurred me on to do it. So here I am! i look forward to reading your comments and being a part of this community.
