Are you learning British Sign Language, or thinking of learning? Do you need to meet up with other learners to practise? Would you like to discuss the learning of BSL online or seek support from / offer support to other learners? If so, then this group is for you. It is run by learners of BSL, primarily for learners, but anyone with an interest in BSL is welcome, whether D/deaf, hard-of-hearing, deafened or hearing. If you are a teacher of BSL (or other BSL user), you are also very welcome and we value your comments and/or suggestions.

The group has been running for over 5 1/2 years successfully. It is a vibrant and friendly group and many members have now met in real life and become friends. Through this group, several gatherings have also been organised, and several regular practise groups set up in various parts of the UK.

Example of what members say about the group: "I want to say thanks to everyone for helping me and hope I can continue to support you all too. This group really has been of tremendous help to a lot of people I feel."
