Hello!

Hello! my name is Becky, I  just started learning BSL last week and I have been really enjoying it so far.  I  noticed there are a few practice rooms on here that  have been empty whenever I have logged in. I wondered if anyone/ or a few of us would like to  "meet up" at a regular time each week to practice. Maybe one evening a week?. All of the Deaf clubs near me have closed down, so it would be lovely to have a place to practice and improve.

Hi Becky

 

That would be a lovely idea as I have trained before in BSL and have got a bit rusty and need to refresh my knowledge. I work with young people and in the community it is difficult to know when your skills are needed. This being Deaf awareness week made me feel I needed to carry on with my online course and try to get less rusty.

    • I once witnessed a situation in a clinic where a deaf-mute man was trying to explain what was hurting him, but the staff simply did not understand him. It was awkward and offensive to watch a person in a stressful situation left without help just because there was no necessary communication channel. Since then, I have become more interested in how medical support for people with hearing impairments is organized. It turned out that there are websites and services, such as FMRQ customer service ,
    • hello my name is Claire, I have only just started BSL. i have always wanted to learn but only now realised you can do little bits online. if anyone has any tips for learning and practising that would be great. I'm also trying to get my family involved when it comes to learning. we had to learn little bits when my child was diagnosed with a speech disorder but it didn't go into as much depth as this , it was more for favourite toys and snacks and drink.
    • I am a teacher working in London. I have wanted to learn BSL for years but have finally got around to starting an online course. There are a number of deaf students in my school and I feel like it is an excellent skill to have. So far I’m finding it a bit of a challenge but really fun! I’ve started following a few BSL Instagram influencers too and try and practice every day. Looking forward to learning more! Any recommendations very welcome!

    • I work in a college supporting additional needs students, some of whom have hearing impairments or who are d(D)eaf. They come to lectures with interpreters, but  I want to be able to communicate directly with them more easily in future years.
    • The sign for midwife in BSL shows assisting birth (palms facing up, moving down from waist). If you want midwifery services, I'd recommend contacting practitioners directly to discuss their communication approach – many are wonderfully accommodating!
