Hi everyone! 

I have just started an online course and have learned finger spelling/greetings/colours/some basic questions and some places, using British-sign.co.uk 

I would love to see if there was anyone who was available in the evenings to practice BSL together, someone who is on the same level as me! 

Let me know,

Holly

HI Holly

I'm also just starting out learning BSL - have completed the online course and now needing a practise buddy.  If you haven't found someone yet, let me know.  I'm often free in the evenings.

Hi, I'm just starting an online course and would be grateful to have someone to practice with via skype/zoom. I have experience from years ago with BSL but I'm very rusty these days!

Hi Samantha, I hope you are well. I was wondering if you still would like to practice bsl sometime? I sent you a message. 

Anyone else looking to practice please get in touch too!

      BSL Introduce yourself

      By TJH · Posted

      Hi I'm just starting out on BSL.  I work in a school, I just wanted to learn BSL and have joined an informal group as there's no courses in my area at present.

      My bel journey

      By BigMcC09 · Posted

      So far, I am really enjoying my BSL journey. I think that it is something I would’ve never done and I’m glad I’m pushing myself to do it. I think it’s great and everyone should have a go and take a chance and start to learn it because you never know when it will come in Handy

      Why I joined

      Hello, my name is ellie and I started learning BSL because I think it is important as an inspired aspiring teacher to be able to help the ability to educate all pupils with all different abilities. BSL has really helped me and made it easy to understand.

      My BSL journey

      By Becage4 · Posted

      I used to work in an SEMH children's home, 5 years ago, and I began to learn BSL alongside some of those young people. I then saw a BSL evening course at my local high school and took part in that, we did an introduction, then all nagged the tutor so much, she agreed to do Level 1! We got 2 weeks in when covid lockdown struck and the course, like everything else, was cancelled. 2 years ago I got together with my partner, who has hearing loss, which is progressing. We decided it would be a good idea to learn BSL now, while she can still hear a bit, so we are prepared. 2 of my adult children and their partners are learning alongside us. We post question and answer videos on our family WhatsApp to practice, our current quest is to see who can sign the most unlikely occupation and place to live! My partner already finds it very difficult to make out what people are saying in busy or noisy spaces, so the few signs we have learnt together, along with fingerspelling, have already been very helpful and we can all see how much this new skill will benefit all of us.

      Introducing myself

      By Chloe.A.Doe1991 · Posted

      Hi,  My name is Chloe, I work in a SEND school within Norfolk. Whilst at this provision we had a non-verbal student join us, whilst he does not use BSL or Makaton to communicate it got me thinking that the chances of us having a pupil that does is incredibly high and unfortunately it is not part of our mandatory training therefore I asked if I could sign up for BSL training as part of my CPD and our company agreed, I then had 20 colleagues ask to join as well.

      I joined a BSL Society today!

      By skimbleshanks22 · Posted

      Hi there👋 I just thought I'd drop in and mention that I joined a BSL Society that takes place in my university today. I came along to the drop in session and despite being quite nervous, I learned a thing or two and made a few friends. I recognised a lot of the beginner signing from the british-sign.co.uk course (level 1) I've been practicing.  A funny small difference I noticed was the regional dialect - being in Scotland there's a few minor differences in how to sign place names, etc than in England. It's been so fun and interesting to learn about!
