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.

      BSL in primary school

      By Anna Pappa · Posted

      Hello everyone. I am so happy I found this page as I am relatively new to signing and I could use a group like this with all you lovely people. I work as a SENDCo at a primary school. I was wondering if anybody here has come across a helpful scheme/program that I could use/adapt for our school. I want to make sure that children are taught the right level of BSL and the right topics but there is so little guidance out there. Thank you in advance!

      Introducing myself!

      Good morning, afternoon, evening! My name is Sirius, well technically it is my nickname but I don't go by my birth name. I am 25 years old, I used to work on psychiatric wards both private and NHS run but I quit my job as a support worker before the recent pandemic hit the UK.  I have always had a love for BSL, I have learned little bits a pieces here and there over the years but never anything substantial enough to communicate properly. I have decided to fully educate myself now because

      Hello. Was just interested what sign language do you use if not BSL to communicate with your brother. Is there another sign language used in the UK?

      Hi just started learning BSL. I'm a student paramedic so I figure it will be useful. Also looking forward to using it with my downs friend (who prefers signing to talking). So far I can spell, count, and make basic sentences and questions to do with locations, colours, and jobs. It's amazing, Ive only been learning a few days and I feel I can already have a (very) basic conversation.

      My name is Beth, i am 24 and a qualified Occupational Therapist working in the NHS for 2 years.

      Why am I learning

      By Kirsty Marks · Posted

      Thats a good question! I first learnt the alphabet when I was 14 at a local school trip away. Genuinely fascinated by the language, I find myself a fair few years later married to a partner who has a deaf brother. Our conversation is great, but not to a level where I would love to have a more indepth conversation with him  Hence why I am learning
