Hello Everyone. I am an artist and writer living in Amsterdam. I have long been interested in learning BSL since I was at school. I learnt finger spelling when I was around 14. I am deaf in my left ear so always walk or sit with the other person in my right so I can hear them. I have been teaching myself signed words and hope to draw the signs to help me remember them. I am enjoying learning this new language. It feels very expressive and open.
