Why I'm learning BSL. (Partner's only language)

Hello everyone. 

I am Rosie and am new to the BSL forum. I started learning BSL one month ago as I started seeing someone who was born deaf. He is unable to speak and lacks basic reading and writing skills and so sign language is his only way that he can communicate effectively with others. Before our first date, I practiced sign language for the first time and gave myself four days to learn the basics and then if things went well between us, I'd then commit to it. I loved his personality instantly and knew that I wanted to continue seeing him and so that's why I then committed myself to learning. Communication is challenging at times, but definitely easier than I'd expected and our relationship is so unique and special to me. I really want to practice and learn more sign language skills, so that I can communicate to the best of my ability with my partner and continue our happy relationship together. :)

Rosie

      I need help asking a girl to be my girlfriend

      I found https://www.flirtini.com/asian.html while browsing for something a little different. I’d never really explored this kind of niche before, but something about it drew me in. The site makes it easy to start chatting right away, and the energy is sexy but relaxed. The women I’ve met so far are playful, curious, and not shy about what they want. It’s such a fun vibe — the kind that keeps you hooked longer than you planned.

      Hello all

      Hi all I am Stella.  I am retired with two dogs who keep me very busy.  I have Menieres disease and five years ago I woke up and found I was totally deaf. My hearing never returned and I have felt isolated since then. I have started learning BSL on line this week and hope to join a course in September.  I have a long way to go but now I see some light at the end of the tunnel.
