Looking for an online BSL tutor once a week

Hello,

A bit about me: I'm 27. I have been studying BSL on my own for just under two months. My vocabulary is about 325 words + the alphabet. I would love to take a public class to further my skills (especially grammar!), but here's the catch: I live in japan! O.o

So I'm looking for someone who has advanced level BSL to meet with once a week over Skype for lessons.  I am more than happy to pay for the private tutoring. 

Would anyone here be interested in this, or know of a resource to find an online tutor?  Japan and UK timezones match up so that we could meet in the UK-morning/Japan-evening. 

:) Thanks!

I forgot to mention, I am hoping to learn London BSL.  I know some signs tend to vary by area, so hoping to learn the signs which are most prominent around London. Thank you~~

Hello to Japan. Quite interesting that you study Bsl in Japan; why not Japanese Sign Language?
I am looking for Skye sessions, too. I have been attending an Introduction Course in Edinburgh and therefore we mainly learn Scottish signs. I want to continue with Level 1 in August and eventually L2 in Feb 2020, but it's very expensive :o

Have a look on Youtube at 'BSL learning with Mel' - she's a BSL tutor from the south-east and as well as doing the videos she says she does 1-to-1 Skype Tuition. Her videos are great.

      Never Too Old To Learn...

      By Stevie B · Posted

      I work within a Learning Support Service in a College local to me. We occasionally get students with hearing impairments, and one or two have used BSL. Sheer frustration at not being able to communicate effectively with these students has led me to spend the Summer recess starting to learn BSL. I won't be expert by the time the students come back, but at least I might be able to have simple conversations with those who use BSL and develop my skills as I go along.

      I think we should all learn BSL

      By Fairy Ace · Posted

      I’m learning BSL online with the Introduction to BSL course. I’ve always wanted to learn it (I’ve known fingerspelling since my teens). But since the documentary with Rose Ayling-Ellis, and taking to a fundraiser at Manchester Victoria, I think everyone should learn BSL. Some of my relatives and friends are slightly hard of hearing, my voice isn’t loud, and it can be hard to communicate in noisy environments. I don’t want to be left with no way of communicating when I’m old. And I want to make spaces like church more inclusive. So, if anyone has resources for signing worship songs, that would be great!

      BSL Petition

      By DFM · Posted

      Someone close to me has begun a petition with Parliament so as to mandate deaf awareness training for all employees - breaking down the biggest communication barriers for all deaf individuals👇  https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/774848?fbclid=IwdGRleATW-jtwZG9mBWZkaWQWULffKrJsTECdE2gVBnPjfAJhAFCUbWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkCjY2Mjg1NjgzNzkAAR4yokbkINDEuMMBavY997mwLeC3AgfMnXUuy50Os0Rv-EI2lsfv3acM0CLeBQ_aem_j77J9Izv5jBqeD4bOFE8lw&utm_id=97757_v0_s00_e0_tv2_a1demonuwg7mou A fair equal world and a world that allows a simple transaction of communication. Without deaf individuals feeling isolated when they’re shopping, or to feel pushed into making more of an effort simply just to talk.   In a dominantly hearing world, they are leading this change for the better. For what’s right. So please, help them fight! - sign the link, it takes one minute if that, have a read, the world is about to become a slightly better place. Even with your vote to make this greater difference. 🙏 🌍  🤟
