Looking for online learning buddies to practice signing with


Recommended Posts

Hi,
I'm Kelly and I work near Newcastle 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤 and Durham, supporting people who encounter challenges in their workplaces. 

I'm learning sign language to offer extra services to my clients and also because I think BSL should be known and understood by more people. I've tried joining my local support groups online but I haven't had any replies so I thought I might be able to find a few people on here who also need to put their sign language into practice to make it stick in their heads, not just do the course. 

I'd like to find people to do a few catch ups on Teams or Zoom, maybe 10-15 minutes each week or fortnight where we can use our signs with each other and hopefully enjoy doing that too! At the moment I'm finding that I need to do each lesson more than once to remind myself of what I've learned before as I'm not using the signs in between my weekly learning time.   
Please get in touch if this sounds like you too 🙂

Hi Kelly,

My name is Stacey and I am the same. I am in Surrey and work in healthcare and want to learn BSL for my patients and for me. I have 2 young children who are also interested in learning, so I get to practice with them a little but only when they're in the mood!

Would love to chat and see if we can help each other learn :)

    • I looked up the figures at this website for the estimated number of people with hearing loss in Ealing and Hounslow: Ealing: 48,500, Hounslow: 36,500 So I can see why volunteer Befrienders with BSL proficiency are so needed, Vince.
    • I am not sure if I am using the form the right way, do you have to create a new topic just to post? I am new here, hearing impaired since birth, on and off with hearing aids throughout life. Looking into new aids, and also learning BSL. I learned some ASL as a child and discovering BSL is totally different. Interesting to stretch my brain to use both hands and understand the logic behind the signs. I'm using the UK website to learn basic BSL to start, and keeping up on lessons and tests the
