[Slling-l] Learning (some) BSL at home?

[Adam Schembri]

Hi Mark
’Sign World’ is a resource for learning BSL online, but I can’t comment on how good it is myself as I’ve never used it, although it’s been put together by some well-known BSL teachers: http://www.signworldlearn.com/learners
I have to put in a plug for our online, usage-based dictionary of BSL, but this should not be used on its own of course as a learning tool but is intended for use in conjunction with classroom or online learning: http://bslsignbank.ucl.ac.uk
Cheers,
Adam

Subject: Learning (some) BSL at home?

Here's an inquiry from an acquaintance of mine in the UK. Any suggestions?

Mark Mandel

I want to learn BSL because one of our mail delivery guys is non-vocal and hearing impaired. He lipreads and manages to make himself understood very well using gestures but I would love to know how to talk to him. That and the fact that I rely on lipreading a lot myself due to APD-like MS symptoms.

I only wish that I knew of a way to learn from my home. I feel a googling coming on.
