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.

      Why am I learning BSL?

      By Dicky G · Posted

      Having an awareness of sign language is so important. Being able to communicate with others and be inclusive is part of what makes us the sociable species we are. Making BSL available to more people and even at school from an early age would help everyone communicate more easily. I'm also learning to keep my mind active and to help with some volunteering I do.

      Hi, I have wanted to learn BSL for a long time, but have only recently got around to it. I am a rugby player going into cardiac physiology and want to be able to communicate with any patients whose preferred communication method is BSL. Feel free to reach out, as I would love to communicate with others who know BSL.

      Intro

      Hi my name is Sara I have always been keen to learn BSL, having done small amounts in the past at school/youth groups, but have taken the decision to teach myself now as a hobby mainly but also as a result of starting to suffer from hearing loss at 46. I work at a University and feel it may be a good tool and skill to potentially help any students needing support being a bonus.

      Why I enrolled

      By Brigitte1972 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have enrolled in this course, due to having a voice condition called Spasmodic dysphonia  making communication extremely difficult on day to day basis . Over the last few years I have been doing a counselling course and feel for me to continue with this I need to have another form of communication.
