Support for my daughter

[Vicky Collins]

Hi Everyone,

Since lockdown my 16 year old daughter has been learning BSL level 1. Shes really enjoying it but she says she would like someone she can practice her signing with. I did my level 1 many years ago but its not cool practicing with your mum (apparently) so I just wondered if there were any other teenage girls who would like to buddy up for practice? When I did my BSL my tutor buddied me up with a lovely deaf lady and we used to meet at the pub once a week - shes knows she cant do that, so Im trying to help her in a different way!

Many thanks,

Vicky (on behalf of Neve)

Hi Vicky, I joined the forum last week. I believe there are some members who are of a similar age to your daughter so hopefully someone will reach out to you, in the meantime any other questions you have please feel free to ask :).

Thank you! I really hope so, its such a great opportunity for them to make new friends whilst becoming more confident in their signing.

Take care and thanks again

Hi Vicky! I am learning level 1 the same as your daughter! I know I am slightly older (20) but once I learn more I'd love to practice with your daughter if she's up for it
