Important message here about deaf people's language of signs & signing: lip-reading and vocalising is very much a second-best option for them. It’s in signing that they find their fullest expression, can understand the entirety of what’s being communicated and do not have to waste energy trying to keep track of a conversation in a medium that doesn’t work for them.

This week, 13th to 19th March, is Sign Language Week in the UK. I know a handful of BSL signs and sentences thanks to a couple of taster courses I’ve done in person and online. I’m now signed up to do an online course in Level 1. Daunted but excited.

Imagine having a baby that is deaf. Your hope of communication with your child is learning sign language. Then you find out the prohibitive cost of British Sign Language lessons.

Luckily not a scenario that has happened to myself or those near to me; but this definitely feels like an unjust scenario that needs to be rectified. Please consider signing the linked petition and boosting.

Just watched the S03E01 of . ’s was very interesting. Signed in pretty much English word order, signs softly, in a gentle and kind way, but there’s a sort-of pleading too. It sounds very sneaky and snake-like to my eyes. Does Wilson know sign? Anyone know?

@fairplaymagazin Vermutlich findest du mehr mit dem Begriff (BSL), so heißt die Sprache nämlich richtigerweise. 🤓

I've found where I can watch with - parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/ (no WAY I can follow the signing but it's very exciting when I can pick out a sign I know)
