I'd like to learn how to sign a song

Hi all,

Hope you're well and able to find joy and smile during these dark times.

I'm Dilara, and I wanted to reach out because I’d love to learn how to sign to a song called If The World Was Ending by JP Saxe. I love this song and it touches my soul for some reason.

I’m an actor because I’m so curious about us beings- why we do what we do, our mind, body and soul. I’m curious about all the beings and how we live. Therefore, I no longer want to wait for a role/an acting job where I have the opportunity to learn how to sign- I just wanted to reach out and ask now- to learn and experience now.

It’s not for a specific cause, I will post the video on Instagram and of course share why I’m doing this and bring awareness to LOVE and learning new things. And how beautiful it is to be alive and be with one another. Of course, at times like this, if you were to carry out classes over Skype then I would love to SHARE about you under my video so that people who are at home and have free time now, and who wanted to learn BSL for the longest time can have access and reach out to you.

So, I was wondering if any of you could teach me how to sign to the lyrics of this song? I'm not insta famous or anything and I don't want to learn to sign to this song and film it in order to make money- I just want to bring the physicality of expression via signing to this song. I've always wanted to learn how to sign and maybe I want to do this now because I see it as an opportunity to learn something new whilst self isolating AND also encourage other who may be on the same boat as me.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Warm regards,
Dilara

    • Hello. Thank you for your reply. Yes, it does make sense to use BSL for the reason you said. I was just thinking for day to day occasional use and trying to remember both ways.   I think I'll also ask my two friends what they think and go from there. Thanks again. David.
    • I would love to know how the top scorers on the leaderboard are reading the words and typing back in correctly SO FAST!!  I've been practicing and haven't managed above 28!
    • I'm a fairly new learner myself - but I've found users of BSL may swap to SSE to make it easier for you to follow.  If you know BSL, it is quicker, more expressive and probably more polite to at least try!
    • Hello all.  I'm hearing but I'm learning this because I've wanted to do it for years. I'm retired but have a part-time job in a shop and have two regular deaf customers who help me with learning bits and pieces. I've just completed level 9 of this course and really need to get some practice in. Can I ask, whilst communicating with others at this level, should I be using SSE or BSL. My friends/customers seem to use SSE whilst talking to me, but BSL when talking to each other.
    • Hi! 👋 I'm Darryl.. Nice too meet you all.. Why am I learning BSL? Well, I'm 50% deaf in my right ear, and have been since the age of 3. I also have constant tinnitus and have had for as long as I can remember. But that's not my motivation for learning. When I was a kid, my Mam's best friend was an interpreter, and her partner was profoundly deaf. I remember him coming round (or my going round to their home) and seeing how frustrated he seemed to get sometimes not being able to communic
    • I definitely think that schools should teach non-verbal communication to all students to some extent, for inclusivity of people like your son avsamp and because any level of any language is a great skill! I've been teaching lots of my friends the BSL finger alphabet 
    • hello! I'm learning BSL as my son struggles with his speech. hopefully this will make life a little easier for him!
