Hi, my name is Carolina and I've just starting learning British Sign Language. I'm from Ireland and have a very basic knowledge of Irish Sign Language and Lámh (the Irish equivalent of Makaton) but I'm planning to move to the UK in the next few months so I'd like to learn some BSL. I've just qualified as an occupational therapist so I'm interested in knowing how to sign for the benefit of any clients I might be working with in the future who use BSL, as well as just for the challenge of learning something new. I've only just finished the first lesson of the introductory online BSL course so I'm still practising my fingerspelling (see video of me attempting to spell my name!) but I hope in the next few weeks to have enough of a vocabulary to start practising with people here 😁

    • Hi there! I'm Laila and I've just started a beginners course in BSL. I work in a nursery as a senco and one to one currently but hoping to move on to a different job role in a special school or a school setting. I've been fascinated by BSL for years now and I've finally decided to take the leap and start a course so here we are! I am already level 1, 2, 3 and soon to be level 4 trained in makaton in the new year but ive always loved watching people use BSL and even though I'm not deaf i still plan on signing as i speak to myself to ensure i dont forget any of it and i just find it fun to do anyway! I am a little suspicious of my hearing anyway as it isnt the best and i do have moments where i lose hearing in one of my ears for a few minutes at a time the longest being an hour and sometimes in both ears together so I'm looking into that but im so excited to finally be a BSL user and join this community
