Hallo! (Waves)

Hiya!

My name's Louise, and I'm learning BSL as one of a number of different languages during lockdown.  I tried a couple of different courses, but eventually found british-sign.co.uk, which is really brilliant.  I'm three modules in and really enjoying it so far.  I've been interested in learning BSL for years - I was signed up to do a course at an Adult Education centre many years ago, but they cancelled it before we could start and never rescheduled.  I don't quite feel up to having a conversation in BSL with anyone just yet, but I've been demonstrating the signs to my partner and a couple of my friends, which has been helping them stick in my head.  I don't know anyone who uses BSL normally, but I work in theatre, so I have come across a lot of BSL interpreters with shows, and I love watching them work.  I'm excited that I might be able to understand a little more of what they're saying next time I watch them!

Hi Louise,

I've been also learning BSL and decided to improve as much as I can. Try to make friends with deaf people, it'll help a lot. It helps me BesBesides I really love deaf community.  I believe this forum might be a good platform to achieve that. I also decided to start my blog and website to present my thoughts in English and BSL although both languages aren't my first languages. I love challenges in life. I'm trying to present the wideos with subtitles, and subtitles are meant to be in BSL syntax. Check it out and tell me what you think. It's still in progress.  www.sign2feel.com and YouTube channel with one video for now, alphabet video.

All the best 

Greg
