Hi CharlotteMarie 

My name is Babnor and I've recently joined and am just wondering if you use the chat rooms to practice. Like you Im leaning but struggle to practice which I know is vital.

Hello, I am learning BSL because I’ve been intrigued by it for a few years and have enjoyed teaching my toddler some simple signs for better communication over the last year.

Welcome to the forum! It's great that you've decided to learn BSL alongside teaching your toddler some signs. How long have you been learning for up until now?

Hi Babnor. I'd be more than happy to practise some BSL with you, if you would like? This also goes to the thread owner. :)

      hello!!

      By ethan · Posted

      my name is ethan, i am a disabled trans person and i wanted to learn BSL as a hearing person because, if the opportunity ever arises, i'd love to be able to communicate efficiently with Deaf people. i'd also really like to do my part in making the Deaf community feel more accepted, and seeing disabled people in media and irl makes me feel incredibly seen and less alone, so why not do my part to make that a reality for Deaf people?

      BSL video practice zone

      By NataliaLvL2 · Posted

      I would love to find someone to practice with, the video zone on this site never seams to be working, as no moderators are present.   Would anyone like to do some practice via Zoom? I'm free most of the evenings. All ability welcome, I'm currently doing lvl2.

      Why i am learning bsl

      By Javen · Posted

      Non-spoken languages such as sign language are largely disregarded and rarely considered as an option when learning a new language. Sign continues to face a lower valuation compared to spoken languages, a valuation that I think is incorrect. I decided to learn sign as it allows me to connect with a community that is highly overlooked in most populations aswell as general interest in learning different ways of communicating with people.

      Sentence structure help!!

      By NataliaLvL2 · Posted

      I'm not an expert, but what I have leaned so far with BSL structure, you want to "paint a picture"  1. Time (now, past, future, this week etc)  2. What are you talking about  3. Describe it    Also throw away all the "is, the, an, a"   Example;  Sing (I) love, Jazz favourite. Sometimes (I) perform, extra money earn. Saxophone (I) play and piano my hobby.    Keep it short and clear Someone said, think about it like "baby Yoda" talk, it does help to get the sentences right. 👍
