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! 

Lou

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

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.

      Hiya!

      By AlexG · Posted

      Hiya guys! My name is Alex and I’m 22 years old. I am not part of the Deaf community, however I work in a charity shop where we sometimes get customers who use sign to communicate. I love having a chat with everyone who comes through the door, and I don’t want anybody to feel left out of that, so I’ve just started an online BSL course so I can connect with my community more. I’m super excited to learn more!

      Hello, Martin! I am currently taking up a course which I paid for 3£, it's in british-sign co uk. It's a nice course. It is great for goal-oriented type of learners. You get 2 years of access and a certificate. You can do assessments there. Goodluck on your journey! And it's nice to know that stories like this exist, makes me wanna tear up. 😁

      Hi Martin! I think learning new things is very important and how very thoughtful of you to think about BSL, there is an online course, if you click "BSL online course" at the top of the page it takes you straight to it, you don't have to make a monthly donation just a one time donation of however much you can afford minimum 3EUR.  I hope you continue this journey

      Hi I 'm Martin

      I am 63 and have health issues but I still want to be of use.  I have thought for a long time about learning sign language, but never ĥad the confidence to follow it through. I am now unemployed, with 4 years left to official retirement. I met a rep for the deaf on the way to the bus home today from the job centre. Even though I could'nt afford to to donate monthly the young lady thanked me for stopping and showed me 3 simple sighed words, which I will ror some reason always remember.  When I got home and sat watching TV there was a antiques program on where both people where deaf. This just confirmed the fact that I would love to help, there is so much scope to help the deaf comunity, auctions, schools plus so much more. How can I learn and get involved? Martin

      Why I am learning

      By Maria Jose · Posted

      I'm excited not just to learn the language itself, but to understand the culture and community behind it. As a future early childhood educator, I want to be able to support every child in my classroom, including those who are Deaf or hard of hearing, or who might simply benefit from visual communication. Learning BSL feels like giving myself one more tool to make sure no child ever feels unseen or unheard in my care.

      Hi, I'm 30 years old and currently studying to become a preschool teacher. Sign language has always fascinated me — I've loved it for years without ever having the chance to properly learn it. When I found this BSL course, it felt like the right moment, since it's finally something I can afford and commit to properly.
