Hi There,

I just finished  the Level 1 course with British-Sign.co.uk and want to know where to go next with my signing education?

I really enjoyed how the course was set up with British-sign so something similar to that would be great and not too expensive...British-Sign were doing a deal where their £35 course could be done for a donation payment of as little as £3...I payed £15. 

Any ideas?

Word to the wise - I enrolled for the level 2 and level 3 courses on The Course Mix and so far I am disappointed and unimpressed. I have gone through the first 4 modules of lvl 2 and so far all I have done is go through online powerpoint slides with absolutely no signing.

I can recoup the cost of the courses through my employer but for anyone else I do not recommend signing up to the courses. The huge discount may draw you in but you'll be better of paying the full price elsewhere where there is actual signing involved and not just reading off a screen.

HI @Helen McConnell

So when you go into one of the modules - along the right hand side you will see a list of slides as per the screenshot below. I work in IT so creating slides in powerpoint and then rebranding them to appear a certain way is not that difficult to do and that seems to be the case here. The slides are very wordy and there is absolutely no signing throughout any of the modules I have done. There are illustrations of signing which are not actually very helpful since it would be so much better to see actual signing rather than having to imagine how it looks and potentially getting it wrong when you try and work it out.

Ill finish the courses since ive paid for them but I would not recommend them.

      Hi everyone! Here's my introduction in BSL. Grateful for any feedback on my signing. I'm very much at the beginner stage. I'm learning BSL as one of my best friend's sisters is Deaf and I'd like to be able to chat to her in BSL.

      Sign Language helps with Autism

      Hi Megan,  Just thought I would send you a quick comment, saying, your not alone. I know several people who prefer BSL to talking because its to the point, there is no small talk to think about, no in between word fillers to think about, so completely understand. hope your journey through BSL helps you in more ways than you can imagine.

      why am i learning bsl. well.....

      By MakingKim · Posted

      Hey, my name is Kim, i run a community interest company called My Mental Wellness UK cic. I have always cared for somebody, my ex, for 20 years, with mental health issues and epilepsy. now, i care for 2 people with mental health issues. all this time, there appeared to be little support. but thats not true. if you ask the right question to the right person at the right time, you find out about a host of different services which could help is lots of ways, so i wrote a website listing all the services which are hidden unless you hunt hard. about 15 years ago, i started learning BSL but life got in the way and i stopped (a friend ran a course teaching via videos), and during a Arts and Crafts session we host, one of the attendees said they were going to learn in Jan (this year) so i thought, why not.  it would mean being fully inclusive for as many communities, meaning anybody could come and use our service, with out accessibility issues.  So I wrote another website and any deaf pub i hear about, i list it on deaf.mymentalwellness.uk which led on to another website im currently developing, this site, the idea is to match people to other people who sign for example, it lists you and Native BSL Signer by distance, enabling you to meet in a public place giving you practice, and the Native Signer the opportunity to socialize.  the Deaf Pub and resources site is free to use and add further pubs and resources, the BSL Practice Partners site is going to be subscription, but no more than the cost of a cup of coffee (My accountant said i cant keep doing stuff for free, so this keeps them happy), notice I say going to be which means at some point but not now.. I just want to give as many communities the opportunity to attend our service if they wish, learning BSL removes a barrier.

      YoshiStrawbz Story- Meniere's Disease

      By YoshiStrawbz · Posted

      Hi all, I am learning BSL because, at 28, I have difficulties communicating verbally due to my learning disabilities and deafness. I want to be able to communicate with my family for decades to come, and if I learn BSL, I can teach my fiancé and loved ones.  ________________________________________________ My Story ________________________________________________ I was first flagged for struggling with hearing when I was under 10 years old, this was flagged in winter. I passed the hearing tests completely fine (in summer, 6 month waiting list), but my mum noted several ear infections and my "attention span" getting worse in the winter/colder months. When I was 18, I was a lifeguard on duty, struggling through a horrific ear infection in my right ear. I was sent home, but in my wisdom I decided instead to catch a last-minute shift at the local pub, as I was a waitress too and needed the income- unfortunately. I passed out and smashed my head into the wash station in the kitchen. Both eardrums perforated. I was completely deaf during college for 6 months. I regained my hearing after I failed all my A-Levels (I struggled to learn and revise whilst temporarily deaf) and got kicked out of college. I then got sent to Queen Mary's College in Basingstoke to do a BTEC ICT Course, which flagged me for learning difficulties (I got diagnosed with Dyslexia). They supported me amazingly, and I ended up passing with D*'s. Went off to the University of Southampton to do Computing, where I got flagged again for other learning difficulties; it took, unfortunately, 3 years later, when I was 23 years old, to be diagnosed with mild-moderate hearing loss. Whilst at uni, I had a lot of vertigo attacks and headaches; my balance went out the window. After working for 5 years in IT Support, I got my final diagnosis for ADHD and Auditory Processing Disorder and Meniere's Disease.  I found out that weather impacts Meniere's Disease, which is why I seemed to have hearing difficulties more in winter/autumn but got better in Summer/Spring. I got a lovely Sound Support Dog during this time at work that supports me at home! She's called Ocean and is a very sassy smart Cockerpoo.    ______________________________________________________ TLDR ______________________________________________________ Age: 28 Learning Difficulties: Dyslexia, ADHD, Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) Deafness: Mild in left, Moderate in Right Conditions: Meniere's Disease
