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, Jason! It's great that you've decided to learn BSL! How long have you been learning for up to now?
    • Hi, I'm Jason and I'm a student at uni : I'm learning BSL so I can communicate with and understand the deaf community more! I'm hoping to get a really good knowledge of BSL while I'm here.
    • Welcome to the forum! It's great that you've decided to learn BSL! How long have you been learning for up to now?
    • My interest came from BSL module in uni (student paramedic) and I wanted to build on my knowledge so that I would be able to communicate with patients in the future. I also love chatting to strangers and I want to be able to do that with people who sign to!! 
    • I work in commercial aviation as Senior Cabin Crew.   I wanted to learn Sign Language as we carry an increasing number of persons who identify as deaf, and I think it is an invaluable skill to have from a communication point of view. Although we have ASL and BSL capabilities via electronic QR codes on board, the ability to provide that personal and human interaction is equally important. 
    • I work in research and want to learn BSL to enable more inclusivity within this field. I work with many different communities and find that the deaf community is too often overlooked. I want to address this and hopefully learn a lot myself and maybe gain some new friends.  
    • Hello, I am a Clinical Research Practitioner. I recruit people to research studies mostly in hospitals but will be moving out into the wider community..
    • Hello both.  I’m also happy to practise some BSL, as with anyone on the site. Feel free to send me a message!
