Hi everyone,

I hope you are all keeping safe and well. My name is Chris and have just completed a 10 week beginner's course in BSL. Having really enjoyed it, I now want to take my knowledge further and work my way through the various Signature exams, though this will undoubtedly take a while!

I, along with my entire family, is hearing. If I'm honest, I've never had any interaction with the Deaf community apart from my sign language teacher. Consequently, I'm keen to understand more about Deaf culture, as this is something about which I admit to knowing very little.

I have always been a bit of a language nut;  I have a background in spoken languages (Japanese and French), both of which are very different from each other and from BSL. Signing is proving to be just as, if not more, challenging, but I'm looking forward to improving my knowledge.

Nice to meet you, and I look forward to learning from you.

Chris :)

      Hello, I'm Denise. I am learning BSL because I work in a secondary school and think it would be beneficial for my role as a teaching assistant. :)

      Hi there, I'm Charlie! 👋🙂 I'm from Scotland and am currently studying at university. I'm not Deaf or know anyone who is - however I chose to start learning BSL through british-sign.co.uk as I believe it's essential to know ... and what's the harm in making the world a little more accessible? I knew a small amount of Makaton when I was very little (although I understand it is not the same as BSL), but found it to be quite helpful growing up. I'm happy to be a part of  this community, and I hope to make friends along the way.

      Hi :)

      Hi Ash and Tom, nice to meet you! I am currently doing level 1 at uni. I am currently practising for my 101 conversational exam, having delayed it from the summer due to some health issues, and have done a little for 102. I am a bit rusty, but I would love to chat if it would be of use to you. It seems like the video forums aren't used all that much, we could Zoom if you'd like that.

      hello!!

      By ethan · Posted

      my name is ethan, i am a disabled trans person and i wanted to learn BSL as a hearing person because, if the opportunity ever arises, i'd love to be able to communicate efficiently with Deaf people. i'd also really like to do my part in making the Deaf community feel more accepted, and seeing disabled people in media and irl makes me feel incredibly seen and less alone, so why not do my part to make that a reality for Deaf people?

      BSL video practice zone

      By NataliaLvL2 · Posted

      I would love to find someone to practice with, the video zone on this site never seams to be working, as no moderators are present.   Would anyone like to do some practice via Zoom? I'm free most of the evenings. All ability welcome, I'm currently doing lvl2.
