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

    • Hi all. I'm Steph. I started learning BSL a few years ago but didn't really continue. I've always wanted to learn and work with a Deaf colleague who has taught me some, however I also work in a primary school as an SEN T.A and one of my pupils has cochlear implants. I know some Makaton but he also used BSL so want to be able to learn more to support him better.
    • I've recently had surgery for middle ear implants however this unfortunately has left me with pretty much no hearing at all what little I did have has gone, even with my BTE aids still nothing how much harder will it be to learn sign language. Trying to prepare myself as it could be permanent damage to my hearing from the surgery 😕 struggling to find local face to face classes so looking like online courses. I've done the BSL 10 lessons but this is not going to be enough moving forward. 
    • Hello, I decided to learn BSL because I wanted to learn something new and thought it might be useful to be able to chat in this language. I feel communication in any form is the way to get on with other folk, so important at this time when there is so much discention and violence. If folk communicated more others would understand how they feel. Somersal
    • This is my first BSL conversation so I thought I’d start with finger spelling. Love to have conversations to get to know other BSL learners. Somersal
