Hello everyone, Sorry if it seems like I’m spamming the forum tonight. I’m very new to this so have a lot of questions. Has anyone used the Signature BSL Homework? I’ve recently signed up and it seems to be a really good resource. Is there a guide or something to find out how to make the best use of it? Thanks a lot

Hi all. I hope everyone is safe and well. This question has probably been asked countless times on this forum. I’ve recntly completed a 10 week course throug my local university in BSL, working towards the level 1 qualification. The course finished a few weeks ago, and am looking for ways to consolidate and develop my knowledge before taking the Signature level 1 exam when I feel ready. I’ve noticed that there is an online course ran by British Sign. Would anyone recommend this course for someone who has some level 1 knowledge? Alternatively, if anyone has any other methods to develop their skills without classes, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Hi everyone, I hope you are all keeping safe and well. My name is Chris and have just completed a 10 week beginner's course in BSL. Having really enjoyed it, I now want to take my knowledge further and work my way through the various Signature exams, though this will undoubtedly take a while! I, along with my entire family, is hearing. If I'm honest, I've never had any interaction with the Deaf community apart from my sign language teacher. Consequently, I'm keen to understand more about Deaf culture, as this is something about which I admit to knowing very little. I have always been a bit of a language nut; I have a background in spoken languages (Japanese and French), both of which are very different from each other and from BSL. Signing is proving to be just as, if not more, challenging, but I'm looking forward to improving my knowledge. Nice to meet you, and I look forward to learning from you. Chris :)
