Hi,

I am learning Level 1 BSL in Bristol and would love a practice buddy. I am 18 and am learning through an evening course. I previously completed a 5 week introduction signing course.

Thank you!

Hey I'm 19 years old and have completed level 1 BSL.

I'm not currently in your area but can skype if you want to practice?

I would love to relearn basic signs as I haven't practiced regularly for a year now so let me know!

Izzy :)

Hi Izzy,

That would be great! I'll make a Skype account. I think there's a video chat option on here, but I haven't used it, just let me know whatever's easier.

Laura :)

Amazing! I'll remake my Skype account because I've forgotten my password and will let you know :)

hi, I am moving across from ASL to BSL, I started to learn ASL for my american friend, who has now moved over here and is trying to learn BSL. I am happy to practice with anyone. I have just completed unit 2 of the British sign level one, so not far along yet, but i learn sign pretty quickly. :)

Do you still need a practice buddy?

I am 2/3's of the way through level one. Seem to be doing ok reading BSL but haven't really practiced doing it. If I emailed you a video would you send back to me what you think I have said? I will happily do the same for you. @Karenellam

Hi. That's cool, are you still living in the US? Or have you moved to the UK? I'm at about the same level, so I'd be happy to practice if you'd like? :)@Jessie EC

      Just saying hello!

      By HayleyG · Posted

      Hi, I'm Hayley. I've just recently started a BSL course. I remember learning the alphabet and a couple of basic words back in school years ago, and I've always wanted to learn. I have the time now, so I thought I would give it a go. I'm always keen to learn and I work in retail, so it may well come in handy to know a little at least!  Whenever I've learned languages in the past, I've always been better at understanding it, rather than being able to actually speak it. So, hopefully, I can glean an understanding at least. Anyway, hello, everyone =]

      Hi

      Hi, I'm a 69yo and just accepting I'm hard of hearing, more so lately. Most likely age-related but with recent deterioration, and life-long tinnitus. Had a lot of middle ear infections, mostly in childhood but in my 40's a month or so of severe conductive deafness following burst ear drums. For myself, while I am bit hard of hearing, it's seem unlikely I will become deaf and absolutely need BSL, but learning something of it now feels a kind of 'insurance' if it would become really useful - I'd not want to age into a degree of deafness that really impaired communication. Of course, that would mean friends & family would need BSL to communicate with me, but then with BSL I might avoid total verbal isolation .   But, beyond my needs, BSL is an official UK language and hearing people able to use BSL could be a way for these communities to be in more contact.  And - so far, BSL seems fun, indeed ingenious, with its own history. I had no idea, for example, that [I read] American Sign Language is more like European sign languages, as it derives more from French settlers - ie BSL, ASL (etc)  are languages with their own long histories. And - yes, following that - I hope learning BSL will challenge and reduce my less than charitable audism - ie will be about increasing my abilities, not 'helping deaf people' (😳!!)

      Hi Batem4n! I learned the alphabet under 2 years ago, and retook the course properly a few months back. I absolutely love it.

      Hi I am new and just started learning. I need some guidance about the centres in London where I can meet up with people who are interested in learning and can do some practice. Many thanks and excuse for my language

      Hi  everyone, this is my first post on the forum.  I work as part of the Front of House Team in a theatre and I am interested in learning some sign language to be able to communicate more easily with the many members of the deaf community who come to the theatre. So far I am doing ok in the comfort of my own home but under pressure I get flustered.  Does anyone else find the same problem? I think a lot is down to constant repetition and practice.

      Hello everyone 🙂 I'm Layne. I am about to take my BSL202 and BSL203 at the start of next week 😬 I luckily passed BSL201 last week 😌 I am based in India so it is tricky to find people to practice with. If anyone is up super early in the UK and looking for someone to converse with I am 5.5 hours ahead so will be around! Thank you 🙏
