Hi all, Im Rob im 24 years old from Preston in the UK. I am deaf in both ears and have been all my life. I'm learning sign language so that in the future I can help deaf people in fitness and help them achieve their fitness goals. I am currently living out in Australia in Melbourne. I would love to connect with as many of you as i can on instagram and help have some accountability for learning sign language.

Hi, Rob. Nice to meet you. 

I know that BSL, NZSL, and Auslan are related languages, so a grounding in one will probably get you started OK in the others. Be aware of the differences though.

As far as I know, the fingerspelling is the same – so you can always spell things out in the event of any confusion! All the best with your BANZSL journey. 😀

      Hello from Australia

      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.

      Learning Makaton

      By evertale · Posted

      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

      Well, if the numbers are to be believed, learning BSL to fluent adds 150 thousand possible friends.  It's amazing that BSL, ISL, Làmh, and Makaton are all so close to each other geographically.
