Hi 

My name is Lesley.  I've just started to learn sign language because I wanted to learn a new skill.   I had the idea to start learning last year and didn't pursue it at the time.  Since seeing Rose on Strictly Come Dancing last year,  I was totally inspired and decided to take the plunge to learn BSL.  I am hoping that completing this course may lead me onto to studying further to obtain an accreditation.     I'm really enjoying learning BSL,  I just need to make sure I get plenty of practice.   Any tips on how people practice would be welcome.   I'm hoping that as I start to learn more I can start practising with my friends and try as much as possible to introduce it into my daily life, so that it becomes second nature, and my confidence will grow. 

Happy signing

Lesley

      Practice reminder

      By Tals · Posted

      Hi, I'm doing my level 6 in BSL. Would anyone be interested joining a Facebook group to practice? I share information or information that may be useful. I finding people aren't around here very often. It's called BSL forum.  I'm happy to join any other groups that practice too.

      Meeting someone new

      By Alana Gauntlett · Posted

      Hi all, I'm Alana (she/her). I met my partner in July who is hard of hearing. They wear hearing aids and can lip read me pretty well after only a few months but I am learning so we can fully communicate in all environments and also their hearing will get worse throughout their life so it is best to learn now. They are also learning so we are learning together! I never had to think about accessibility before I met them and I am very grateful that I get to learn about their experience. Meetin

      So many reasons!

      By EmmaGriffiths · Posted

      There are so many reasons why I want to learn BSL. When I was little I was properly introduced to BSL by my mum, she learned BSL as part of her job as a child-minder. She taught me what she learned and I loved the language!  I always wanted to learn more but never found the time or anyone to practice with. I've had many jobs in public sector and learned that I could be more inclusive with my communication.  Being diagnosed with hearing loss motivated me even more to learn BSL. It

      Hello

      By EmmaGriffiths · Posted

      I'm Emma, I'm 27 living in London (and I love it here). I work in social media as a content producer and art advisor. I hope to be a curator one day! I love the arts, environmental sciences, animals, astronomy, horror, fashion, and makeup. And I love going for long walks!  I am hard of hearing, with moderate-severe hearing loss in my right ear (the sound in my right ear is too quiet and muffled to understand anything, it's pretty much useless). I've just started using a hearing ai

      Hi, I’m Artio. I learned finger spelling when I was very little. I love languages - I enjoy learning foreign languages, computer coding, and I’ve been wanting to learn BSL for a long time but struggled to find and pay for resources. I work full time as a data analyst. I study part time towards a Natural Sciences degree with an emphasis on Biology and Chemistry. I’m autistic and have ADHD.  I’d love to be able to talk without using sound. Speaking out loud feels like a lot m
