Introducing myself...

Hi, I'm Lucy

I don't really know what to put here other than I'm learning BSL as its the only other language I've ever been interested in.  I'm really Dyslexic and it just seems to click with my brian (<I'm leaving brain like that just because) in a way no other language does.  Everyone says that French is so romantic or whatever (no dis to the French) but why not learn one of the most expressive and animated language where you can literally dance with your hands.  Its phenomenal. 

Why learn a language to a place I've never been to and never really plan on going to when there's a huge community of people in my own country that I could be communicating with but can't?  Out of what?  Lack of education?  Ignorance?  I've come in contact with many more people in the Deaf community than any other language.  I dunno, maybe that makes me sound ignorant in its own right, but I want to change that.  And I'm starting here.

 

Soooo hi.

    • Hi there, My name is Trixie and I'm learning BSL to keep my brain active. Many years ago, I was learning South African sign language and I loved it!

We recently learned that my husband will most likely lose his hearing in the next 20 years or so (he has already lost hearing in one ear completely), so I want to be prepared. It's also good for my ageing brain to learn a new language, so I'm diving in with enthusiasm and

    • n British Sign Language (BSL), to say "Be right back", you can sign it informally as: 👉 “SOON COME BACK” or “COME BACK SOON” Here’s how: SOON – Tap your index finger against your cheek or use a quick gesture for "short time". COME BACK – Point outward (to show you're leaving) and then curve your hand back toward your body. Alternatively, you can fingerspell "BRB" for an informal or digital-style way.
