Hello everyone! I am an ASL/English Interpreter and live in Washington State. I really wish to learn different sign languages around the world and I am so happy to find this forum to learn more BSL.

Just in case this video isn't viewable to you, the first part of the video, I introduce myself in BSL. The second half is in ASL where I want to make it clear that I am not here to teach ASL but to learn BSL. I will occasionally share some ASL signs for clarity as BSL is so different and the same sign can have completely opposite meanings or even something very inappropriate in the other sign. As it is with any student and mistakes, do pardon me if I sign something offensive.

Hello @KaleLing - welcome!  It's great to have an overseas signer using these forums - I hope you learn some BSL and are able to offer advice.

We will be launching an ASL version of this site very soon so you will be able to share some of your ASL skills too.

      Hi, ok, so the Goose hosts a D/deaf Pub, which appears to be a Thursday Evening (I'll put more info on my website when they approve my FB Joining). I highly recomment D/deaf Pubs and Clubs to attend, because you get to see BSL in the real world, where as other students will sign how the tutor has taught them and (in my case) not all tutors sign the same way, so real life experience can be a huge bonus. (check out the website, just added the goose deaf pub info at deaf.mymentalwellness.uk)

      Hi. erm... so, the deaf.mymentalwellness.uk page, you dont have to log in for that, it should give you two buttons, pressing the deaf pub / resources will take you to deaf.mymentalwellness.uk/events.php This is up and running, I have 30 venues listed, adding more when I get time. The bsl.mymentalwellness.uk page, im having to put in security measures for that page. This one you will have to log in, so the system can remember you and give you a distance based on postcodes. It will also have a block function as advised by my legal guys. The idea is to bring students L1/2/3/4/5/6 together with Native BSL Signers which will provide practice opportunities for the student, and social activities (Meetup for coffee) for the D/deaf person. If your interested in helping test and give feedback, please message me privately and ill give you instructions on how to access the page. Thanks Kim

      Hi Kim, i'll be interested. I have posted a need for a BSL buddie, and the location/distance is an important part of being a buddie. I think we all need it to be convenient to meet and practice.
