Hello from Michael in Surrey - learning BSL for work

[Michael Chambers]

Hi everyone. Thanks for this resource. I've just started learning BSL in order to apply for jobs in the care sector. I like foreign languages but this is a new challenge for me. Best wishes to all, Michael

I've just got 19 on the finger spelling challenge. I don't know how anyone can get much more!

Hi Michael,

I've found that doing the finger spelling challenge a few times each day has helped me to increase my scores. I can also touch type, which really helps.

All the best with your applications for work in the care sector.

Hi Michael.  I got about 19 about 4 to 5 months ago; I've gradually increased the speed I set when I start, and current score is about 30, so like Willow says, just keep practising...  I'm doing  a part time course, and watching quite a few videos, so it isn't just this site. I can get higher scores if i type as i see each letter, but my comprehension is better if I wait for the whole word, then type - so that's what I'm doing.
