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?

      Why are you learning BSL?

      By Khadijah · Posted

      Hello. I am learning sign language for my DofE award and am currently enjoying it. I am keen to learn it and personally think I am learning it quite well. There is  deaf community centre near me so after I have nailed BSL i intend on visiting and interpreting for my local park run as a volunteer

      Why are you learning BSL?

      By Devanshi · Posted

      I am learning BSL because I want to feel more connected to the Deaf community. Even though I am deaf and use a cochlear implant, I grew up using spoken language, so I never fully learned sign language. Over time, I started to feel left out in Deaf spaces where people communicate through BSL. Learning BSL feels important to me not just for communication, but for belonging. I want to be able to express myself freely, understand others and be part of conversations without barriers. It is also important for my work, as I support people with different needs, and I want to provide more inclusive and accessible support in the future.

      Hi everyone, My name is Devanshi and I’m currently living in Nottingham. I work as a support worker and I’m really passionate about inclusion and supporting people with different needs. I am deaf and use a cochlear implant. I was not born deaf, my speech developed as I was growing up, so I have mainly communicated using spoken language. However, over time I started to feel a bit excluded in Deaf spaces, as many people communicate through BSL and I wasn’t confident in it. That’s one of the main reasons I decided to start learning British Sign Language. I want to feel more connected to the Deaf community, communicate better and be part of conversations without feeling left out. I also hope it will help me support others better in my work and future career. I’m currently learning at a basic level, so I’m still very new — but I’m excited to learn and improve 😊 Looking forward to connecting with you all!
