Hey there! I am 26 years old and new into BSL. Since I started the course (already on lesson 4), I realized that my goal of retaining the signs learnt would be best achieved by practicing them. So far I am learning in front of the mirror in order to manage body coordination while signing so that I make sure I am learning the correct way of doing the signs. Apart from that info I am fully hearing and wanted to learn BSL as another meaningful way to connect with people. Are there any new learners interested in practicing?

I'm interested in practising with someone - perhaps we could fit in some regular short zoom chats? just 10 mins weekly or something to keep us on track? 

Hiya,

I'm in the same boat and would be up for a weekly zoom practice for 10 minutes also?

Heyyy LindyM and sarahf84,

Sure, I think we can all figure something out together, what do you think about it?

Would love if both of you would let me know what kind of schedule would work best for you! For me, it's weekends mostly, but am up for adjustments if needed.

Kind regards,

Doby

      Learning to make my art accessible

      By splodge · Posted

      Hi! I am learning BSL alongside a group of hearing friends and our deaf friend who will in some years will need BSL to communicate. But I am also a theatre maker and want to be able to collaborate with Deaf artists and audiences. I am also autistic and find verbal communication difficult sometimes so I'm hoping BSL can help me communicate.

      Why I'm learning BSL

      By Dawnie · Posted

      Hi Jenny, that is something they have mentioned but to be honest I've not yet really had any information about them just had a bout of perichondritis it just seems to be one thing after another I have another ENT appointment 28th December I'll ask for some information, thankyou 😊

      Why am I learning BSL?

      By JB123 · Posted

      I've decided to learn BSL because I've experienced sudden onset severe hearing loss in both ears. The ENT has told me there isn't anything they can do to help. I'm in the early stages of getting bone-anchored hearing aids; this process will take about a year. I want to have as many communication tools in my arsenal as possible, especially as my hearing is likely to continue to worsen.   Jenny

      Hi Dawn, I also suffered from chronic infections with in-ear hearing aids. Have you and your GP/ENT/Audiologist ever discussed bone-anchored hearing aids?  I'm trialling them now and so far it's an absolute game-changer for me. They sit behind the ear and use bone conduction to stimulate the auditory nerve; nothing has to go inside your ear with those.   Jenny

      Hi all

      By JB123 · Posted

      So here's a quick introduction to myself. My name is Jenny. I'm a teacher and therapist for children with learning or emotional support needs. I'm learning BSL because I have just recently experienced sudden and severe mixed hearing loss in both ears.  I'm hoping I'll be approved for implantation of bone-anchored hearing aids soon, but that process will take at least a year so in the meantime... here I am!

      None gendered terms for family (ie. sibling, child, parent)

      For when you don't know the gender of who you're talking about and when talking to people who are non-binary (like myself).

      Hello everyone I work in a prison and I’m very aware we have limited resources in terms of BSL. Trying to learn the basics to support anyone who may find themselves in custody
