New to BSL


Leonie

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm Leonie and I started learning BSL about a month ago via the internet without a specific course. I struggle with grammar and 'reading' fingerspelling sometimes and I think I might need a little help and practice.

I don't have contact with anyone who is deaf or hard of hearing, but I like the language. I'm on the autistic spectrum, so sometimes it feels easier to express myself in signs/with the help of signs.

Nice to meet you all! 🙂

Hi!

I'm the same, very new to BSL and haven't got anybody to practice "speaking" with. I'm learning for work because we work with lots of volunteers who have varying levels of ability and I want to be able to include and talk to absolutely everybody! 

If you ever want to practice basic stuff via video let me know - I'm a complete beginner so it won't be much of a conversation but something is better than nothing, right!? :)

    • Hello! I have always been interested in learning BSL and learned to fingerspell as a Brownie. I have used Makaton intermittently over the year with children who I have worked with but have always wanted to learn BSL. I have been inspired to do this recently by watching some television dramas that have had members of the d/Deaf community using BSL. I also have some hearing loss and feel that it would be useful to learn some BSL to help with communication.
