hi, im toria and im 20 years old. after quite a while of telling myself i'm going to learn BSL i've finally taken the step and signed up for an online course. i've had an interest in sign language since i was quite young but working in the care sector and being surrounded by Makaton made me realise just how much i wanted to learn to sign and how important it is to know as for some people, it may be their only way of being able to communicate effectively. there's a few reasons i wanted to start learning: general interest in the language, wanting to be able to communicate better/more efficiently with those in the community, will possibly enable me to work with and for the deaf community wether that's volunteering or paid work, and to use it as an aid for myself in situations where i find it hard to talk due to things like overstimulation etc. 

as i get more comfortable with my learning, i will consider a buddy to further help but as of now im just getting used to new information.

thanks for reading, and all the best with your journey too! :)

      Hi, ok, so the Goose hosts a D/deaf Pub, which appears to be a Thursday Evening (I'll put more info on my website when they approve my FB Joining). I highly recomment D/deaf Pubs and Clubs to attend, because you get to see BSL in the real world, where as other students will sign how the tutor has taught them and (in my case) not all tutors sign the same way, so real life experience can be a huge bonus. (check out the website, just added the goose deaf pub info at deaf.mymentalwellness.uk)

      Hi. erm... so, the deaf.mymentalwellness.uk page, you dont have to log in for that, it should give you two buttons, pressing the deaf pub / resources will take you to deaf.mymentalwellness.uk/events.php This is up and running, I have 30 venues listed, adding more when I get time. The bsl.mymentalwellness.uk page, im having to put in security measures for that page. This one you will have to log in, so the system can remember you and give you a distance based on postcodes. It will also have a block function as advised by my legal guys. The idea is to bring students L1/2/3/4/5/6 together with Native BSL Signers which will provide practice opportunities for the student, and social activities (Meetup for coffee) for the D/deaf person. If your interested in helping test and give feedback, please message me privately and ill give you instructions on how to access the page. Thanks Kim

      Hi Kim, i'll be interested. I have posted a need for a BSL buddie, and the location/distance is an important part of being a buddie. I think we all need it to be convenient to meet and practice.
