My name is Miriam - no surprises there & I learnt basic BSL many years ago, but never had anyone to converse with since.

I am EXTREMELY rusty with it now.  But every now & again, I surprise myself when little bits poke out through the cobwebs of my brain, when I am in social situations.,

For the last 4½ years I have volunteered at a local open-air museum & find that I am coming into contact with sign-world more & more. So, as I was raised with 'ignorance is no excuse' ♥, I decided to give my butt a severe kick & 're-learn' myself.

I originally learned basic BSL because I had already learned basic Spanish & basic German, so why not a third language :)

So here I am &, if it's okay with you, I would like to just meander around the forum for a few days, just to find my way around & familiarise myself with sign again?

 

ps - I can't find a sign which portrays the word 'basic' - as in 'basic sign language'

I also can't get the finger-spell challenge to work - it accepts my name entry, but won't allow 'GO' to be selected.

      Why am I learning BSL?

      By ChrisL · Posted

      I initially started a Facilities Management BSc at the University of Lancashire, however after finding it wasn't for me, I decided to see what other degrees they had on offer. LUCKILY, I found BSL and Deaf studies! I am so happy to be learning BSL and about Deaf culture. It's hard! but worth it.. "I KNOW I PUT THIS ON THE WRONG THREAD!" AHHHHH Chris

      Hello from Chris Long – BSL Student in Preston, Lancashire!

      By ChrisL · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m Chris Long, and I’m absolutely thrilled to join this fantastic BSL community! I’m currently studying BSL and Deaf Studies at the University of Lancashire, and I’m loving every step of this journey. I’m not Deaf, but I live with hearing loss and tinnitus, which has inspired me to learn BSL and connect more deeply with Deaf culture and communication. I’m based in Lancashire and passionate about connecting with people through signing and building relationships in this vibrant community. I’m still early in my BSL learning, with lots to discover, and I’m excited to learn from all of you. Fun fact: I’ve got about 20 hours of experience flying microlight aircraft, which is as exhilarating as mastering a new BSL sign! I’d love to hear from you all! What’s your favorite thing about BSL, or do you have any tips for a student like me balancing hearing loss and studies? Also, any Lancashire locals know of Deaf events or meetups I could join? Can’t wait to connect and share stories! Best, Chris Long

      Introducing Myself

      By Matthew B · Posted

      Hi! My name is Matthew, I am a Belgian student of English literature and linguistics. I have always had an interest in languages, and have wanted to learn a sign language for quite some time. Since I primarily use English in both my private and professional life, I decided to prioritise BSL for now. I myself am not Deaf but I do experience trouble with auditory processing, and I think accessibility in communication is very important and yet undervalued. I look forward to learning more of BSL and the Deaf community.

      Learning BSL, why?

      By Charlottemarie · Posted

      Hello, I am learning BSL because I’ve been intrigued by it for a few years and have enjoyed teaching my toddler some simple signs for better communication over the last year.
