Does anyone actually use this website to communicate with each other? Every time I am on a rarely see others post or commune with each other or occupy the video chat rooms. 

Currently I have hit a wall in my lessons and would like to actually try to practice beginner sign language with another user. I have learned the majority of the signs from the now completed course, give or take a few. And would like to practice full conversation with other individuals (questions, day to day talk, how to correctly sign this particular sentence, etc).

Thanks for taking the time to read this. And please reach out if interested.

Hey, Can I just say you guys are very good with signing well done to you both, that sounds like a good idea Usayd as I haven’t had anyone to practice with.

hello guys, I am really new to this. Its going well but i do get in a pickle sometimes and as i am learning with my left hand being more dominant due to an issue with my right hand I feel like I am signing backwards!!

I try come on weekly if I can I've passed my level three. It depends what's going on in my life. Maybe a Facebook group would work better? We may get more people to practice with also. I've just created a group on Facebook called BSL forum if anyone wants to join 😊

hey, I am pretty new to this also. I think the only way I will remember all the signing is if I put it into use. I feel like I have forgotten all i've learnt so far!

I am going to keep coming on here and replying to some video etc hopefully that will help 🥴

Hi Naomi,

                  I have done the beginners course and thought it went well but I seemed to have forgotten loads. so I am now going to re do all the course as well as doing lots more online. So I have now signed up to these chat rooms in hoping I will be able to practise with other beginners ☺️

Maxine, how far have you got with the course so far? I'm very early on. are you finding it harder to make signs or read them?

Hi! I'm new and I just posted a thread in the introductions section. I'm only on the very first lesson of my course, so I'm not really at a level to practice with someone else yet! But hopefully as I progress through the lessons, eventually I'll get good enough to maybe practice through video chat or something. The course recommended me to only do one new lesson a week, though, so it might take a while ...

Good morning all. I can do an hour on Saturday (I told the wife she can play on my Nintendo Switch during this time 😛 ).

What time(s) work best for you? I can also host using my work Webex account so will just need email addresses for all those that would like to join.

    • Our popular 'BSL Level 1 Summer Intensive' course is back. This year, our intensive courses will be held three days per week for four weeks, starting on Tuesday, 28th July and finishing on Thursday 20th August. Classes will be conducted on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 11am to 4pm. This qualification is designed to enable you to develop an ability to communicate with Deaf people using BSL in a range of familiar contexts, participating in more detailed and open-ended exchanges. The course will develop functional communication in BSL about a range of real-life and daily experiences. You will be able to deal with more routine language tasks and have a sufficient grasp of grammar to cope with some non-routine tasks. For more information or to book your place, visit: www.remark.uk.com/bsl-courses/level-1-summer-intensive You can also reach us at: [email protected] / 0207 269 2620 We look forward to seeing you this summer!
    • Hi everyone, I’m new to this group & I would love to find someone to practice with. I’m learning BSL level one & I don’t have anyone to practice with, my confidence is low when signing because of it. I’m learning because I’ve always wanted to & think it’s important to do so. I have just failed my 1st exam so confidence is even lower, I don’t want to let myself down or the deaf community. I can do this!!! Is there anyone who can help? Thank you & I hope to find friends 
    • I’ve always liked builds that already have a story built into them, and the Firehouse is one of those sets that feels like it deserves more than plain shelf space. That is why the lego ghostbusters firehouse light kit catches my eye. Once the lights are on, the whole model feels more like a real late night scene instead of just a finished build. I’m curious whether other people here like adding lighting to display sets or prefer to leave them untouched.
    • As a retired man this thread doesn't directly call to me - but, have I missed the link to BSL? 
    • I like jewelry more when it carries something personal instead of feeling mass made or purely decorative. Seeing someone create BSL jewelry from the basics has that same kind of charm because it turns meaning into something you can actually wear. That is probably why Casual Carats stands out to me. The pieces feel easy enough for everyday life, but they still have that thoughtful side to them, which makes them feel a lot more real than accessories that only look good in theory.    
    • Hi my name is Amie, my second child has just turnt one years old and at three weeks was confirmed to have moderate hearing loss in both ears. So I am learning BSL so I can be supportive in any way possible and to ensure he has the benefit of having many ways to communicate his needs. 
    • Love this challenge—I've been refining my own work wardrobe for years, and honestly, five pieces is tight but doable if you choose wisely. Your list is solid, though I'd personally swap the silk shell for a structured knit that travels better and hides coffee stains. My formula leans heavily on classic women's clothing because trends fade but a well-cut blazer or a crisp button-down keeps earning its spot season after season. That's exactly where I'd point anyone looking to build this kind of capsule. Finding pieces that hold their shape, resist wrinkles, and transition from desk to dinner without shouting for attention makes all the difference. A curated closet isn't about deprivation—it's about owning fewer things that actually work. Your list has me rethinking my own five.
    • I've been thinking a lot about minimalism lately, and I want to try an experiment. If you had to choose only five classic items to get you through a full year of work (office meetings, casual Fridays, client lunches, the whole deal), what would you pick? No seasonal cheating—these five have to work in summer and winter with layering. My tentative list: a tailored blazer, dark wide-leg trousers, a silk shell top, a crewneck sweater, and a crisp white button-down. I feel like that covers most situations, but I'm already second-guessing myself. Would you swap the shell for a midi skirt? Ditch the sweater for a cardigan? For those who've actually lived with a capsule wardrobe built from classic women's clothing, how many pieces do you find is the real sweet spot? And what's the one 'extra' you always end up adding back in?
