Hi there my name is Andrew Stephen Luck and I’m a Musician and Artizan called @LuckyRedStarZMusic on Instagram and people call me 🔴Red🔴

I learnt sign language in a part-time course in college over 10 years ago. I have forgotten much of the signs now and I decided to learn them again.

i have been Registered Disabled myself over 20 years and I have mental health. Yet even though I was diagnosed with Bipolar in my early 20’s and given the Registered Disabled ️ Status I did not let it stop me and afterwards I travelled in 36 countries solo - I have been to 47 countries in total in 6 continents. I learnt to speak 11 languages and now I am adding sign language and trying to learn other languages as well- I have bits of 26 different languages that I learnt along the way in different countries. 
I lived on 2 islands in Asia with Buddhist people and was surrounded by friends,but sadly every time I returned to the uk 🇬🇧 I was alone most of the time. People back home 🏡 exclude Disabled people on purpose a lot.The National Average is only 1 in every 10 people even know a Disabled person. 
I had so much time alone so I learnt things to fill the time-I can play many musical instruments now.

i have been very inspired by Evelyn Glennie who is herself hard of hearing 🧏‍♀️ but plays music from the vibrations-much like Beethoven did. 
She said the wooden Xylophone is the most resonant and the ear drum picks up the vibrations making it possible to learn and play! 
 

I think everyone should learn sign language and I think my favorite sign is the Vulcan 🖖🏻 Live Long And Prosper sign - I remember learning it as a kid and pushing my fingers into the right place until I could do it - I have learnt the Vulcan words as well “Diff Tor Hey Smusma = Live Long And Prosper “ LoL 😂 and they answer “Prosper and Live Long = Smusma Hey Diff Tor” and repeat the sign back! 🚀 

 

All the best to all - I think I answered all the questions in one post ! Oh Well ! 
 

All the best to Everyone! I’m having fun learning the signs on www.BritishSignLanguage.co.uk

i’m in lesson 4 already and I am sending friends to it and I posted the link on my page! 
 

thank you 🙏🏻

    • Just added a deaf pub in hartlebury to my website. they run on the 3rd monday of the month, if you view my website, dont forget to change the duration to at least a month to display this meetup.
    • 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 again do you know of any body in the Midlands that would like a BSL Buddy. Kate xxxxxxx  
    • I could not find this "...Deaf Pub listings at deaf.mymentalwellness.uk..." Do I have to sign in ?
    • 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.
    • I wear a BAHA for my moderate to severe unilateral and I would like to be able to communicate in bel because it feels easier.
    • I'm a 13 year old girl with moderate to severe unilateral deafness, I currently wear a BAHA on a headband and I want to get the implant and I have recently started learning BSL. I know that my hearing loss is quite low but I still really want to be involved in the Deaf/HoH community but I have no idea how.
