hi everyone,

I have moved to Aberystwyth, and I am keen to learn BSL. Have wanted to do this for many years, but finally this year I am going to be in a position to, hopefully, do so.

I have several hidden disabilities, and respect the importance of an all inclusive society. Being involved with several wheelchair users, and their plight to use transport has led me to appreciate even more the struggle that disabled people experience, and the attitude of 'ableds' towards them.

You are never too old to learn, and in addition to brushing up on German I am looking to begin my journey with BSL too, so that I can help contribute to inclusivity if and when needed.

- "name me what ..." or "name me ..."

  Hello. The "what" is merely used due to BSL’s topic–comment grammar. Some signers respond with "name me what" to mirror a question that may have been asked (especially if someone wants to know something, such as a name or an age) or to add emphasis on what is about to fingerspelled. In an everyday conversation, or an informal setting, the "what" doesn't have to be included. Hope this helps!
