 I am relearning BSL as have forgotten so much, as It's a lot harder than l remember form 30 Years ago. But that was a short night school introduction course. I have so much still to learn.  It's a very expressive language that in a ideal world would be  available as a language at school.  As a dental nurse a want to be able to communicate better with all my patients.  Finger spelling is very hard for my as I am Dyslexic.  But l  still want to learn and be helpful. How can I  say l am Dyslexic in sign. Or do I have to finger spell it. Thanks for any advice.

Thank you for taking time to reply to my question.  It sad because many don't see Dyslexia as a disability. I will have to learn to finger spell it. I don't want to let it hold be back from trying to help people.

Hi, there is actually a sign for dyslexia! 

Both left and right hands making a 'C' shape with thumb and index finger in front of your chest area (a bit like how you would sign 'word') and overlapping them x2 to show that the words are mixed together. 

Hope this helps :)

    • Hello to you all! I'm on S3 of BSL level 1 course and was recommended to come here to practice signing which I'd love to do. Great to be here and looking forward to future signing with you guys 😊
    • Hi, I’m Vivien. I started learning BSL as my son was hard of hearing and wanted to support him to communicate. I’m also looking to understand and support the deaf community and looking forward to learning more! 
    • Welcome to the forum, Katherine! It's great that you've decided to learn BSL! How long have you been learning for up to now?
    • Hello! My name is Katherine, I am a British-Mexican linguist, and am beginning to work as a part-time primary school teaching assistant. I also do a bit of English/Spanish translating and interpreting on the side. Growing up with 2 languages and 2 cultures, moving back and forth between countries, resulted in certain language and speech difficulties, making sign languages very attractive to me personally. I started learning Mexican sign language years ago but never continued, and upon resettling back here I am finally committed to learn sign language, and find BSL fascinating. I look forward to communicate in BSL with other students as well as within the deaf community, whom I'm very curious to meet. Cheers!
