Onika Wood

Hi - my name is Onika. I always wanted to learn BSL and signed up to a local course over 20 years ago. I loved it, but not using it regularly, has meant that I have simply forgotten most of it. Now the technology is available, to meet people online and sign via forums/video etc, I am hoping that I can start again, learn and hopefully continue to practice through online communication. Looking forward to meeting everyone and improving my skills.

Actually - I have just noticed that this site already has a 'live' video chat room for practice at the top of the page! I'll try that and see how it goes. Glad I stumbled across this link however.

Hi, I have just started to learn BSL. I was scouring the internet to see if there were any groups available to people to enable practice. I do not know of anyone that signs and so feel that without visual practice and 'trying' to hold a conversation, it will be a skill that I will easily forget. I'm definitely interested in being part of a visual group, however I am very knew to this - so not sure how much I will be able to contribute, but even seeing others communicate will improve my skills.
