Hello,

I'm taking an online Level 1 and 2 BSL course and I can't identify some of the signs the used in the video lessons. They also don't list all the signs they used in the videos and it is nearly impossible to figure out the signs from context. I have been using a few websites online that offer vocabulary searches, but they often don't have what I'm looking for. I am also hosting a BSL chat and study group for my colleagues, and I put together lesson supplements to help them, but am often unable to find the signs I need online to post on the lesson supplements (since it takes me ages sometimes to figure out what some of the signs are, or am unable to find a particular variant). Are there any online resources that have a more comprehensive list of signs I can look through like a visual dictionary? Here are the sign search websites I'm using: 

https://www.spreadthesign.com/en.gb/search/ 

https://www.signbsl.com/

https://bslsignbank.ucl.ac.uk/

https://www.britishsignlanguage.com/

Or if anyone is able to chat with me via Zoom to help me figure out some of the signs I'm struggling with, please let me know and I'd be happy to host a Zoom session. Any advice welcome!!

Thank you so much,

Gabi

    • Hello Eleonora, I have just joined this forum as I am looking to brush up on my BSL Level 1 skills (which I obtained in September 2024). I love in Bournemouth, so unfortunately can’t meet in person, but would love the chance to practise with you via Zoom🤗. Kind regards, Jacquir

    • Hello! My name is Eleonora and I live in Scotland. I work in customer service and one of our regular customers is deaf. Wanting to communicate better with them gave me the needed push to finally learn BSL, which I've always been interested in (I'm also a translator and all languages fascinate me). I have only just started and I would love to have more opportunities to practice. If you're up for the occasional videochat (or a chat in person if you live in Edinburgh), I would love to practice with you! 😄 Ele 🍃
    • HI! My name is Bianca and I began learning sign language in October 2025. I was initially prompted by a book called "Where is God in a messed up world?" and there was the first page dedicated to the deaf community: "This book is dedicated to those individuals who were born deaf. They are one of the West's most neglected groups of individuals. They may never have heard the birds sing, the enthusiastic chatter of a group of friends or a Beethoven symphony, but I pray that they will hear the still, small voice of Almighty God speaking to their hearts.". This touched me deeply, and I decided to dedicate myself to caring for the deaf community through charities and learning BSL, where I also attended events to interact with other young people who were keen on creating change for the SEND community. We would not be who we are without you.
    • Having worked in a variety of educational settings over a number of years, I strongly believe that making students (whatever their age or background) feel accepted, heard and safe helps create a positive environment for learning. I love working in education - first as a teacher and later as an LSA, now SEND Support - and am frustrated by the barriers we (all) encounter, especially when there are solutions. I'm learning BSL because, yes, it will help me at work, but also because it's part of working towards removing barriers to learning and hopefully building that positive, safe environment for students. 
    • Hi, I'm Sarah and I work as a SEND Support at a college for 16 - 19+ year-olds in Yorkshire. Many of our students experience a range of learning challenges, including hearing impairments, and I would like to learn BSL as part of a personal commitment to making educational a positive and inclusive experience.
