@@mofem3241 sorry it has taken a while to respond! Thanks for the comment. Doing this is the way I keep some sign going between seeing deaf friends which can be months apart. Whilst not quite everyday I have done this a long time now and is a somewhat quirky way to diarise and it has definitely been helpful practice.

Hi Vicky, hope you enjoy your classes when they start. A couple of heavyweight books that I was told to get were 'The Linguistics of British Sign Language An introduction' by Rachel Sutton-Spence and Bencie Woll and 'Sign Language The Study of Deaf people and their Language' J.G. Kyle and B.Woll. They are quite old books so don't cover the way technology has influenced sign over the past 20 years but they are solid in terms of history, culture and linguistics which you'll need for Level 3. As you'll find it's quite a jump from Level 2. Hope that helps 🙂

Thank you. I've placed a library order for the books. 🙂

Yes I did thanks - hope all goes well with yours.

Yes I did thanks and I'm just trying to keep practicing whilst looking for opportunities

Same here! Good luck!

Hi Sandra, thanks for the comment. Time sadly against me for subtitles but always happy to answer a question or chew over a sign and meaning. My morning BSL routine before work is a bit of linguistics reading, diary, receptive practice (deafstation.co.uk is brilliant) and some sign learning - about 20 mins in total.

Glad it has been helpful, I did this a while ago now. I've now passed Level 3 and thinking about level 6 if I can find good places to use my BSL. I enjoy the daily practice though. Hoping all goes well with the exam :)

Thanks, you may have seen I practiced my conversations and presentations to death - but it worked, I passed!

Thanks, first level 3 exam next week, a whole different ball game!

Great, I hope they are of some use :)

Hi, what were you thinking? I'm happy to follow a script. I could also find mine as they are on the channel from last year.

@@mikeloweandco maybe where I like to eat what is my favourite meal and drinks etc what I don’t like and why All yr ideas I don’t mind

@@phoebekouridesxitsas3282 Hi, sorry I forgot about this. If you're happy putting a script together which I can then follow it would be good practice for us both.

@@mikeloweandco can I email it to you? Pls send yr email address.

@@phoebekouridesxitsas3282 I don't seem to be able to message you. You should be able to put the script as a comment if that's alright.

Thanks, yes and/or the basis for the conversation exam. Putting all four out this week.

Thanks. This is also now helpful as you have to note your personal study when doing level 3.

@@mikeloweandco that's good to know ,I'm still level 2,Role shift at moment 😩😩

@@siobhanmcadam5104 Are you doing it by Zoom? It's a challenge doing it that way, that's how I'm doing Level 3. Role shift is good as it's like a little play or drama. I'm not normally a fan of expressing myself like that which is one way BSL is good for me - makes me more expressive.

@@mikeloweandco no still attending college thankfully, did level 1 102/103 exams over Zoom during lockdown with Signature. Is you're college closed then?

@@siobhanmcadam5104 I'm with an independently registered deaf teacher so would be in a hired space normally. But for now we're on Zoom.

Same as me, COVID has prevented the exams, hence the practice of 202 and 203 each week! I'm starting Level 3 in October.

I've heard level 3 is hard🙄
