Hey everyone! I am looking for a study buddy!

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

    • It's a bit late to reply, though I think Let's Sign BSL Dictionary is one of the more impressive sign dictionaries.  ASL has "The Gallaudet Children’s Dictionary of American Sign Language" and the ISL(Irish) dictionary includes the first page with the alphabet, the explains each further sign with the alphabet introduced on the first page.  A good dictionary can be a good book I think. I only just noticed no one had answered your question, so I thought I might.
    • Hi all, hoping that you are really well. I undertook a BSL course around 25 years ago. I now have a little boy who requires us to sign to help him with his day to day life. It's surprising how much is coming back to me and how much I enjoy it!. Hoping that today is a good day for you :) 
    • It's great that you're going BSL, I'm sure you'll find friends with it. I haven't had any real conversations in sign language, I only picked ISL because it looked fun.  I do hope to finish the last class in the next month.  Thank you for the encouragement. I actually find Braille more testable since those I know aren't too interested in sign.  Braille is quite fun now with the different English and universal ones to learn, grade 1, 2, 3, UEB, math, and music.  It's nice to read dual te
    • Hey! What a lovely email to receive:)Thank you. I did do a short course in NZSL but it is obviously very similar to Auslan so I thought BSL users are a much larger community so went that way instead! I would encourage you to learn more ISL ( perhaps assuming wrongly you mean Irish Sign Language?) such a wonderful skill to have signed languages.  Thanks for contacting me:). Emma.
    • My name is Mary and I am based in Nottingham. Working in the healthcare means i interact with people with hearing impairment and so learning BSL will help me to effectively communicate with people within the Deaf community.
    • Hope you achieved it.  Làmh and Makaton are basically the same thing, but why not just stick to ISL/BSL?  There's so many signs to learn over time, why complicate it? However.  Làmh at least does have an app of games to learn Làmh called Làmh Time with a video dictionary of over a 100 signs.  Also, Vimeo has 2 DVDs copied that are songs using Làmh for learning Làmh.  It's not the same, and it would give you a basis of Irish Sign Language, but I think from a cost point of view, Làmh is more
