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 :)

      Learning to create an Inclusive Environment...

      By Charlotte 23 · Posted

      An inclusive environment starts with the space itself, at least for me. People need to feel comfortable, seen, and able to communicate without the room working against them. That is why I think privacy and calm matter so much when you rent a space for business philly. A dedicated studio gives you more control over how clients, students, or collaborators experience the work from the moment they arrive.

      BSL Level 1 Summer Intensive Course - Central London

      By remark.uk · Posted

      Our popular 'BSL Level 1 Summer Intensive' course is back. This year, our intensive courses will be held three days per week for four weeks, starting on Tuesday, 28th July and finishing on Thursday 20th August. Classes will be conducted on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 11am to 4pm. This qualification is designed to enable you to develop an ability to communicate with Deaf people using BSL in a range of familiar contexts, participating in more detailed and open-ended exchanges. The course will develop functional communication in BSL about a range of real-life and daily experiences. You will be able to deal with more routine language tasks and have a sufficient grasp of grammar to cope with some non-routine tasks. For more information or to book your place, visit: www.remark.uk.com/bsl-courses/level-1-summer-intensive You can also reach us at: [email protected] / 0207 269 2620 We look forward to seeing you this summer!

      Hi everyone, I’m new to this group & I would love to find someone to practice with. I’m learning BSL level one & I don’t have anyone to practice with, my confidence is low when signing because of it. I’m learning because I’ve always wanted to & think it’s important to do so. I have just failed my 1st exam so confidence is even lower, I don’t want to let myself down or the deaf community. I can do this!!! Is there anyone who can help? Thank you & I hope to find friends

      Lighting

      By Charlotte 23 · Posted

      I’ve always liked builds that already have a story built into them, and the Firehouse is one of those sets that feels like it deserves more than plain shelf space. That is why the lego ghostbusters firehouse light kit catches my eye. Once the lights are on, the whole model feels more like a real late night scene instead of just a finished build. I’m curious whether other people here like adding lighting to display sets or prefer to leave them untouched.
