Hello All,

My name is Monty and I'm half way through BSL Level 1 at college in St Albans.

I've had enough of working in an office and am on a 6 year mission to retrain as a sign language interpreter. I'm 38 now so still have probably 30 years of working left in me and I want to do something which contributes positively to people's lives and offers variety.

Outside of BSL I work in an office doing quotes and tenders Monday to Friday but then as a mobile DJ at weekends. I cover all music but personally like 90s indie, classic rock, dance music and just anything which evokes a positive emotion. I'm also a bit of a sci fi geek and a member of a Toastmasters group.

I found this site via the fingerspelling game.

I would love to use this forum to use and develop my BSL skills so feel free to tap me up.

  Hi Anyone know if there is a practice group or similar somewhere in Great Yarmouth or surrounding areas, most places seem to be around the Norwich area? I am currently doing level 2 and really need more receptive practice

  Hey peeps Ive just done a first year of BSL to keep up with my 11 year old daughter who has cochlear implants. I found watching the DVD part of the level 1 exam too hard but everyone just said get on with it. It was like teh Emperor's New Clothes scenario. So what happens this week, it is announced that the video was in fact for level 2 students. Thankyou! But bizzarely we still watched it as a group and with some support I got there. But it is all a bit of a muddle if you ask me. Anyone else have this prob?

  Hi ! I am Merve, I am a teacher. I have just completed the lessons of Turkish Sign Language, with the help of what I have learnt I can communicate with deaf people.But this is just in Turkish, my wish is to reach more people , I think this will be possible by learing English Sign Language; so I am here.And also I want to teach the words I learn to my students.

  Hi Lynda, either is fine. I'm around tomorrow until 3:30, or Sunday any time? I'm in Essex but I've been learning signs from the Internet so I've probably got quite a mixture of dialects haha.
