      Sentence structure help!!

      By NataliaLvL2 · Posted

      I'm not an expert, but what I have leaned so far with BSL structure, you want to "paint a picture"  1. Time (now, past, future, this week etc)  2. What are you talking about  3. Describe it    Also throw away all the "is, the, an, a"   Example;  Sing (I) love, Jazz favourite. Sometimes (I) perform, extra money earn. Saxophone (I) play and piano my hobby.    Keep it short and clear Someone said, think about it like "baby Yoda" talk, it does help to get the sentences right. 👍

      Hello

      By NataliaLvL2 · Posted

      Hello everyone!   I'm Natalia, I'm currently doing LVL2 BSL and looking for people to practice with.    I started to learn BSL after meeting a profoundly deaf student (I'm a driving instructor) and I (and He) didn't like to communicate via messages or speech to text apps.    I found BSL was better way to communicate, gave more confidence to my student and since then I found, I really enjoy to learn more.   Hopefully with more time and effort I can become fluent in the future.

      Hi :)

      By AshC · Posted

      Hiya, my name's Ash and I've wanted to learn BSL for years now and after looking up random signs on the internet I thought doing a proper course sounded good so I started a beginners course. I am not deaf myself but I am also known for my questionable hearing as I sometimes find it tough to hear what others are saying, especially in a loud area, I also have a deaf grandmother but she does not sign. I've always enjoyed using non verbal forms of communication as sometimes I find it a bit tough to express myself verbally, being neurodivergent. I hope to be able to use this to practice with people and talk to people who also want to learn as there are no in person groups anywhere near me, living in a very rural part of Britain. Nice to meet you all

      Oh no! I appear to have accidentally made a new topic? I couldn’t see any other way to say hello. Apologies 🤭
