  1. yes it does I am hard of hearing and use BSL  you should sign what you most use like writing or typing open door thing like that but if you naturally use right hand that fine just act like you write with your right hand but the thing you should not do is swap hand or mix  like spelling name  using e left touching right then for r  right touching left I can suggest to pick 1 main hand and stick with it  I hope this understand and helpful  

  2. I guess we could still have 1 on Friday 3pm if anyone are willing then do another 1 on Saturday abit later on what everyone think about that ?

    Hey I would love to join this too if that is okay, I have just completed the level one course, but feel I need to have a go face to face with people, still feels all very new though. 

    welecome!  yes it always better to go face to face and luckly I am hard of hearing and use BSL  a lot 

  3. hello! that is great to hear  I just want to make sure that Makaton and BSL is 2 different thing and people think it just the same but when it is not  I hope this will help you in being  speech and language therapist 

  4. hello as I said I am hard of hearing and do use BSL but also lip reading  I think in the uk we are still in lockdown  and we can video call each other and can see each other also if a person wear a mask I cant understand them at all but some of my full deaf friend they cant speak and only with their hand because they are not use to talking as much that mean expressions is really important and depends on the person as well

    I hope this help 

  5. hello! great job I do use BSL and for starter is not bad the only thing I would tell you if talk with your voice off because people like me lip read but also there is a lot of sign meaning 2+ e.g 1 sign can mean 2 different thing so that why your mouth must be clear to lip read but carry on and soon you will be ace at this! also

    quick note I don't know any sign for boyfriend and what Phoebe show to me is son/boy 2 time but every town/village have their own sign 

  6. hello I am hard of hearing who use abit of BSL and I am trying to promote BSL in my own college and it great to see other people who trying to learn it even though you might not be working with them!

     

  7. hello my name is Leighton and I use BSL but I want to learn more, the thing I love/hate about sign language is there is soo many sign for 1 thing but also if I never see that sign before it can get confuse me
