Thank you! I'll be enrolling in the online course offered on British Sign. I've not done it yet as I'm currently enrolled in a French course which finishes in 3 weeks. Then, when I'm back in the UK, I'll see how I can step up my learning. I guess there's no substitute for real-life, real-time human practice. Can't wait to get stuck in.

I only signed up to the forum yesterday so I haven’t had the chance to practice on video calls yet but I’ll definitely make use of it! 

Have you been able to practise with anyone in the BSL Video Chat on here or only with the people you're learning with up to now?

Hi! I’ve only been learning for about a month so I’m still a complete beginner 

Welcome to the forum! It's great that you've decided to learn BSL with people around you. How long have you been learning for up until now?

Welcome to the forum, Marie! It's great that you've decided to learn BSL in the New Year. Have you enrolled on the course with British-Sign?

Hi! I’m Eyren or Ellis.  I am autistic and have recently had more frequent periods of time where I’m not able to speak and so I’ve recently started learning sign language so I can communicate during those times. I’m here because I don’t have too many places to practice as I’ve been learning from an online self paced course and the only people around me that I could practice with are learning with me on the same course so I’m not sure if/where I’m making mistakes
