Hi, my name is Sallyann Blakemore and I have been doing the online BSL course during lock down. I have always wanted to learn sign language but just never managed to get round to doing it. I am shielding as I am a high risk case having had breast cancer last year and only finished my treatment just before Christmas. Therefore I have been advised by the government not to go out at all, at least until the end of June. So I found I had lots of time on my hands so finally decided to sign up and learn sign language. I am married and live with my husband. I have one son who is 26 and left home a long time ago. I am loving this course and hope once life gets back to normal to try and do some volunteer work at the local deaf school....but watch this space. I am struggling with remembering all the signs but really enjoying it. Be nice to hear from others doing this course. Good luck everyone.

Hi Sallyann!

I just came across your message. I hope you're well and great that you've been using your time to learn BSL. Me too! I've just finished the course but struggling to know how not to forget it all! Let me know if you're up for someone to practice with as I'd love to be using what I've learnt. I work in theatre so I'm without work but always watnted to learn BSL and have really enjoyed it!

Best,

Jesse

Hi Jesse

Lovely to hear from you and thank you for replying....sorry for the delay - I have been enjoying the sunshine......yes I would love to practice with you, though I am very slow at the moment....do you have access to zoom or whatsapp? for zoom I would need an email address from you or whatsapp your phone number.....are any of these any good for you, or if you are on facebook you can find me as Sallyann Blakemore, and private message me, which may be better, but any of the options are fine for me.

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sallyann

      Hi, ok, so the Goose hosts a D/deaf Pub, which appears to be a Thursday Evening (I'll put more info on my website when they approve my FB Joining). I highly recomment D/deaf Pubs and Clubs to attend, because you get to see BSL in the real world, where as other students will sign how the tutor has taught them and (in my case) not all tutors sign the same way, so real life experience can be a huge bonus. (check out the website, just added the goose deaf pub info at deaf.mymentalwellness.uk)

      Hi. erm... so, the deaf.mymentalwellness.uk page, you dont have to log in for that, it should give you two buttons, pressing the deaf pub / resources will take you to deaf.mymentalwellness.uk/events.php This is up and running, I have 30 venues listed, adding more when I get time. The bsl.mymentalwellness.uk page, im having to put in security measures for that page. This one you will have to log in, so the system can remember you and give you a distance based on postcodes. It will also have a block function as advised by my legal guys. The idea is to bring students L1/2/3/4/5/6 together with Native BSL Signers which will provide practice opportunities for the student, and social activities (Meetup for coffee) for the D/deaf person. If your interested in helping test and give feedback, please message me privately and ill give you instructions on how to access the page. Thanks Kim

      Hi Kim, i'll be interested. I have posted a need for a BSL buddie, and the location/distance is an important part of being a buddie. I think we all need it to be convenient to meet and practice.

      How to get more involved in the Deaf/HoH community

      By Berry Rhead · Posted

      I'm a 13 year old girl with moderate to severe unilateral deafness, I currently wear a BAHA on a headband and I want to get the implant and I have recently started learning BSL. I know that my hearing loss is quite low but I still really want to be involved in the Deaf/HoH community but I have no idea how.
