Hi, my name is Carolina and I've just starting learning British Sign Language. I'm from Ireland and have a very basic knowledge of Irish Sign Language and Lámh (the Irish equivalent of Makaton) but I'm planning to move to the UK in the next few months so I'd like to learn some BSL. I've just qualified as an occupational therapist so I'm interested in knowing how to sign for the benefit of any clients I might be working with in the future who use BSL, as well as just for the challenge of learning something new. I've only just finished the first lesson of the introductory online BSL course so I'm still practising my fingerspelling (see video of me attempting to spell my name!) but I hope in the next few weeks to have enough of a vocabulary to start practising with people here 😁
