I wrote in my previous post introducing myself my reasons for wanting to learn so I'll just repeat what I wrote there: I am learning to help my younger brother express himself better and speak to d/Deaf people in a way they may find more comfortable.

      Hi there, I'm Charlie! 👋🙂 I'm from Scotland and am currently studying at university. I'm not Deaf or know anyone who is - however I chose to start learning BSL through british-sign.co.uk as I believe it's essential to know ... and what's the harm in making the world a little more accessible? I knew a small amount of Makaton when I was very little (although I understand it is not the same as BSL), but found it to be quite helpful growing up. I'm happy to be a part of  this community, and I hope to make friends along the way.

      Hi :)

      Hi Ash and Tom, nice to meet you! I am currently doing level 1 at uni. I am currently practising for my 101 conversational exam, having delayed it from the summer due to some health issues, and have done a little for 102. I am a bit rusty, but I would love to chat if it would be of use to you. It seems like the video forums aren't used all that much, we could Zoom if you'd like that.

      hello!!

      By ethan · Posted

      my name is ethan, i am a disabled trans person and i wanted to learn BSL as a hearing person because, if the opportunity ever arises, i'd love to be able to communicate efficiently with Deaf people. i'd also really like to do my part in making the Deaf community feel more accepted, and seeing disabled people in media and irl makes me feel incredibly seen and less alone, so why not do my part to make that a reality for Deaf people?

      BSL video practice zone

      By NataliaLvL2 · Posted

      I would love to find someone to practice with, the video zone on this site never seams to be working, as no moderators are present.   Would anyone like to do some practice via Zoom? I'm free most of the evenings. All ability welcome, I'm currently doing lvl2.

      Why i am learning bsl

      By Javen · Posted

      Non-spoken languages such as sign language are largely disregarded and rarely considered as an option when learning a new language. Sign continues to face a lower valuation compared to spoken languages, a valuation that I think is incorrect. I decided to learn sign as it allows me to connect with a community that is highly overlooked in most populations aswell as general interest in learning different ways of communicating with people.

      Sentence structure help!!

      By NataliaLvL2 · Posted

      I'm not an expert, but what I have leaned so far with BSL structure, you want to "paint a picture"  1. Time (now, past, future, this week etc)  2. What are you talking about  3. Describe it    Also throw away all the "is, the, an, a"   Example;  Sing (I) love, Jazz favourite. Sometimes (I) perform, extra money earn. Saxophone (I) play and piano my hobby.    Keep it short and clear Someone said, think about it like "baby Yoda" talk, it does help to get the sentences right. 👍
