I am vey new to BSL but have always wanted to learn. I love meeting people and learning about them so this will help me meet more people. I have a functional disability along with non epileptic seizures, and I know how it feels to be excluded because of something different. The shop where I work does not have anyone who can sign, so I am wanting to change that too seeing as they want to be more inclusive and as they took a chance on me, I decided to be proactive. This is me introducing myself a little. I know I need to work on facial expressions. Please critique (I know I add an extra vowel to my name as well, but I'm nervous)

Hi Julie, 

That's such a great reason to learn too, well done you on being so proactive with it. Same here too really. I have always wanted to learn BSL and working in a GP surgery I feel it would make us even more inclusive to people who otherwise may not feel as such all the time. I have almost completed the course, yet still feel like such a newbie and getting everything to stick in my head with how things are worded different is something that is taking me a wee bit longer than I would like haha! But I am getting there. I would like to be more active in this community too as I feel it would help with practice. 

It's nice meet you and keep going with your learning! :)

P.S. Practice makes perfect, right?

Definitely practice makes perfect! I'm nearly halfway through the introduction to BSL but this looks like a really good place to practice. Friendly :). Hate the webcam but it won't let me upload better video from phone. Don't know how to delete this one now I've recorded it. I will get used to where I am eventually lol

That was great signing! It's ok, I forgot how you say "nice to meet you" until you just signed it! It's a great course with so many signs, think I may have to do it again, once I've finished it to jog my memory!

I've only just started this week so it's fresh in my mind. Might start forgetting some as I do more lol. But watching a programme I'll try do signs for things I've done or pick random words to fingerspell. At work I keep showing other's how to do some as well as family. They're already sick of me 😂

Hi, I have just started and wanted to do something with my son so we are both doing this and practice with each other which is nice. I would love to help people one day with communication. Please excuse me as I am very slow as still thinking about signs.

Hi everyone!

I have been learning BSL from the BSL online course, its great to see so many people have taken up the course too! I am interested in sign language as I am a primary school teacher. I did a placement in a school with an additional deaf unit. This made me realise how important it is to be able to communicate with everyone and to include everyone. I have been enjoying the course so far!

We're all the same Rachel which is why this is a good place. I tried getting someone to learn with me so we could practice but no interest. And Lisa, I'm the same. I want to be able to talk to everyone I can. Both videos really good. At least we can do it safely here and critique without insults

      Confused which is my dominant hand?

      By alex_willbeok · Posted

      So i just started learning bsl and i use my left hand as my dominant hand when signing.  do this because I learn by mimicking the the videos i watch directly. Using my left hand feels most comfortable but i write with my right hand? I also use my right hand to sign the alphabet but my left hand to sign number because. Also even though i would like to use my left i feel like right handed is easier to read? i cant do it the other way round Is this ok? And is it possible to train myself to use my right hand when signing to become dominant?

      I'm Laura, I'm 24 and I live in Scotland. I've wanted to learn BSL for a wee while, and I saw the introductory course was available so decided to jump in! I work in a nursery and plan to go on to study speech and language therapy, so this will definitely be a worthwhile course. ☺️

      Provider With a Quality consumer email list

      By mituakter55 · Posted

      Building squeeze page before building opt-in business consumer email list The landing-age is imperative, and it should be appealing enough to grab the consideration of visitors. 'Squeeze Page' is not a site, but it is a single web page with little detail for consumer email list the sole aim of attracting audience to subscribe to the offer.If one does not have e-books to use product, they can find free e-books on the internet to download. Once, one has selected the product, they are all prepared to go to next aspect which incorporates receiving consumer email list service to get prospect details. One just needs an consumer email list program as it makes the process much easier. Some common features of corespondent services are unrestricted number of auto-res ponders consumer email list, scheduled mailings and personalized web forms.promises that range from questionable to outright nonsense. You must have perseverance when building your first consumer email list. All too often new marketers come online full of vim and vigor, powered up by promises of untold wealth to be made in short order online,    The reason for creating opt-in business consumer email list is to get e-mail addresses and names of individuals in exchange for helpful detail they may need.  Before long, these would-be online super-stars are frustrated, disillusioned and demotivated by their lack of results in building an consumer email list.

      I've wanted to learn BSL for a while for several reasons: partially because I would like to be able to communicate with Deaf people better in the workplace and partially to be more inclusive in social settings such as church.
