Hi Steven! Whenever I see ASL I think it looks so much harder than BSL! Have you learned any BSL other than starting this course and where are you up to on it? Are you British? (so many questions haha!)

Interesting perspective!

I learned BSL from Youtube.com. Commanding Hands. John Smith - deaf British comedian.

I am doing Introduction section 4 on animals and at home.

No I am not British, I am an American, Texan, to be specific.

Aahh I see! I've just checked him out on YouTube, theres a lot of videos. I've scrolled through a lot of BSL and never clicked on him! 

I've just passed assessment 7 on the course. 

Is there any sections so far that you would like to practice? My friend and I send each other little videos of what we did that day to try and use some of the vocab we've learned

We just send them via what's app or via email. (she's my friends mum so it's the easiest way for us, she's had troubles logging onto this forum but hopefully she'll get it sorted) 

 

Did you want me to send you some videos asking questions?

      Hiya!

      By AlexG · Posted

      Hiya guys! My name is Alex and I’m 22 years old. I am not part of the Deaf community, however I work in a charity shop where we sometimes get customers who use sign to communicate. I love having a chat with everyone who comes through the door, and I don’t want anybody to feel left out of that, so I’ve just started an online BSL course so I can connect with my community more. I’m super excited to learn more!

      Hello, Martin! I am currently taking up a course which I paid for 3£, it's in british-sign co uk. It's a nice course. It is great for goal-oriented type of learners. You get 2 years of access and a certificate. You can do assessments there. Goodluck on your journey! And it's nice to know that stories like this exist, makes me wanna tear up. 😁

      Hi Martin! I think learning new things is very important and how very thoughtful of you to think about BSL, there is an online course, if you click "BSL online course" at the top of the page it takes you straight to it, you don't have to make a monthly donation just a one time donation of however much you can afford minimum 3EUR.  I hope you continue this journey

      Hi I 'm Martin

      I am 63 and have health issues but I still want to be of use.  I have thought for a long time about learning sign language, but never ĥad the confidence to follow it through. I am now unemployed, with 4 years left to official retirement. I met a rep for the deaf on the way to the bus home today from the job centre. Even though I could'nt afford to to donate monthly the young lady thanked me for stopping and showed me 3 simple sighed words, which I will ror some reason always remember.  When I got home and sat watching TV there was a antiques program on where both people where deaf. This just confirmed the fact that I would love to help, there is so much scope to help the deaf comunity, auctions, schools plus so much more. How can I learn and get involved? Martin

      Why I am learning

      By Maria Jose · Posted

      I'm excited not just to learn the language itself, but to understand the culture and community behind it. As a future early childhood educator, I want to be able to support every child in my classroom, including those who are Deaf or hard of hearing, or who might simply benefit from visual communication. Learning BSL feels like giving myself one more tool to make sure no child ever feels unseen or unheard in my care.

      Hi, I'm 30 years old and currently studying to become a preschool teacher. Sign language has always fascinated me — I've loved it for years without ever having the chance to properly learn it. When I found this BSL course, it felt like the right moment, since it's finally something I can afford and commit to properly.
