Practice chat

[Mark John]

Hello everyone! 

I've been learning BSL for two weeks and am looking for someone to practic with. I'm very new! 

If anyone would like to have a short practice conversation with me, do get in touch! Happy to arrange a good time that works for you. 

Thanks! 

[Graeme Brookes]

Hi mate, I would be happy for a practice chat too. Ive grew up in the deaf community but haven't signed for many reasons for years and now trying to get my level 1 & 2 so don't this as a refresher - so would love someone to practice with. When is best?

[leighton]

hello!  if you need any help as I use abit of BSL as I am hard of hearing and one day to get level 1 and 2 !

[Graeme Brookes]

Hi Leighton, Id love to chat too. 

[leighton]

great! just message the video and I give some pointer  

 

[Graeme Brookes]

Maybe we could chat over the video chat here? I don't have a video to share. Would be more trying to maintain a normal flowing conversation.

[Mark John]

Hi Graeme and Leighton, 

Thanks for posting. I'd love to chat in the 'video chat' section of this website to try and maintain a conversation as Graeme suggested. I'm still very new to it all but have now enrolled on BSL level 1.

I'm free Friday 8th between 3 - 6pm, Saturday 9th at 10am or Monday 11th at 10am?

Hi all,

I'm towards the end of a level 1 course and I'd like to actually get chatting with people. Mind if I join if it's not too crowded? I could do any of those times you suggested Mark. 

[leighton]

hello I am free on any of the day and more people the better!

[Laurie]

Will we try out the video chat feature here at 3pm on Friday the 8th then?

[Mark John]

Hi Laurie, 

Ok, let's all meet in the 'Beginners video chat' at 3pm on Friday the 8th. 

 

 

[leighton]

8pm onwards?

[Laurie]

Perhaps sometime on Saturday then? That would work better than 8pm for me.

[Helena Micklethwaite]

Hey I would love to join this too if that is okay, I have just completed the level one course, but feel I need to have a go face to face with people, still feels all very new though. 

[leighton]

I guess we could still have 1 on Friday 3pm if anyone are willing then do another 1 on Saturday abit later on what everyone think about that ?

[Laurie]

Sounds perfect. I'll see you at 3pm here tomorrow and sometime on Saturday then

[Mark John]

Hi Laurie and welcome! 

Looking forward to seeing you all at 3pm today. 

Shall we say 8pm on Saturday to pin down a time?

 

[Laurie]

8pm works for me.

[leighton]

[Laurie]

Not a bother! Nice to meet both of you. I am happy to practice whenever people are available, thanks for your patience for when I wasn't following so well.

[leighton]

[Mark John]
