Hello! My name is Jess and I have always wanted to learn BSL. I was taught the alphabet and how to say my name when I was at primary school and have remembered it to this very day! The lockdown gave me the push to find this course and finally start learning. I’m a little late posting this as I am now on my last lesson but I wanted to put some of what I’ve learnt into practice as it’s hard to do sentences when you have no one around you who understands BSL.

I am a professional dancer and also a dance teacher and I think this is a wonderful thing to learn because you never know when you may meet someone who relies on BSL to communicate and it opens up the communication between hearing and non hearing.

I’ve attached a little video of myself practicing introducing myself. I hope everyone is enjoying their course also.

      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.
