Hi, I'm mothcat. I've wanted to learn BSL for a long time, and have been considering it more seriously for the past year. I finally decided to do a course!

When I worked in a coffeeshop, one customer came in who signed their order. I couldn't understand what they were saying vocally, and I knew no sign language, so they ended up having to write down their order. It felt really wrong and horrible at the time, and now I know that the word for it is audism. Since then, I've started a job where one of my coworkers is Deaf and lipreads, and while she doesn't strictly require BSL, it gave me the final push to learn it anyway. As a disabled person myself, I know how frustrating it is that abled people demand everyone to conform to their way of doing things, and as a society we should strive to embrace the diverse ways folk navigate this world.

As a side note, I am autistic and have really been enjoying the structure of BSL as a language. Its structure and clarity are really accessible.

      Hi, ok, so the Goose hosts a D/deaf Pub, which appears to be a Thursday Evening (I'll put more info on my website when they approve my FB Joining). I highly recomment D/deaf Pubs and Clubs to attend, because you get to see BSL in the real world, where as other students will sign how the tutor has taught them and (in my case) not all tutors sign the same way, so real life experience can be a huge bonus. (check out the website, just added the goose deaf pub info at deaf.mymentalwellness.uk)

      Hi. erm... so, the deaf.mymentalwellness.uk page, you dont have to log in for that, it should give you two buttons, pressing the deaf pub / resources will take you to deaf.mymentalwellness.uk/events.php This is up and running, I have 30 venues listed, adding more when I get time. The bsl.mymentalwellness.uk page, im having to put in security measures for that page. This one you will have to log in, so the system can remember you and give you a distance based on postcodes. It will also have a block function as advised by my legal guys. The idea is to bring students L1/2/3/4/5/6 together with Native BSL Signers which will provide practice opportunities for the student, and social activities (Meetup for coffee) for the D/deaf person. If your interested in helping test and give feedback, please message me privately and ill give you instructions on how to access the page. Thanks Kim
