Hi all, 

I'm new to bsl, and currently completing my level 1 & 2 bsl. I'm enjoying learning new signs everyday, but I don't get any opportunities to use them! 

Would anyone be interested in video calling once/twice a week for an hour to practice signed conversations? 

Thanks!

Hi Lou, I'd be interested in having some sign practice with you if you're still interested. I'm currently available most days while I look for work so let me know what works for you.

HI,

If you are still looking for a study buddy, I would be very happy to meet online once or twice a week. I am new to BSL and need all the practice I can get.

Thanks

Eva

That’s a great idea! There are several ways to find a BSL online buddy:

  1. Facebook Groups – Look for groups like BSL Learners UK or BSL Practice Buddies.

  2. Discord Servers – Some communities have BSL practice channels.

  3. Meetup.com – Check for virtual BSL meetups.

  4. BSL Video Chat Apps – Apps like The Limping Chicken (a Deaf news site) sometimes share community meetups.

  5. Deaf and Hard of Hearing Charities – Organizations like Signature or RNID might have buddy programs.

    • Welcome to the forum! Hope your BSL Level 1 studies are going well, and there are many on here who are willing to engage in practicing sign language! How are you finding it so far?
    • Welcome to the forum, Vivien! It's great that you've decided to learn BSL for your son! How long have you been learning for up to now?
    • Hello to you all! I'm on S3 of BSL level 1 course and was recommended to come here to practice signing which I'd love to do. Great to be here and looking forward to future signing with you guys 😊
    • Hi, I’m Vivien. I started learning BSL as my son was hard of hearing and wanted to support him to communicate. I’m also looking to understand and support the deaf community and looking forward to learning more! 
    • Welcome to the forum, Katherine! It's great that you've decided to learn BSL! How long have you been learning for up to now?
    • Hello! My name is Katherine, I am a British-Mexican linguist, and am beginning to work as a part-time primary school teaching assistant. I also do a bit of English/Spanish translating and interpreting on the side. Growing up with 2 languages and 2 cultures, moving back and forth between countries, resulted in certain language and speech difficulties, making sign languages very attractive to me personally. I started learning Mexican sign language years ago but never continued, and upon resettling back here I am finally committed to learn sign language, and find BSL fascinating. I look forward to communicate in BSL with other students as well as within the deaf community, whom I'm very curious to meet. Cheers!
