James<p>Feeling slightly knocked sideways by this documentary - Rose Ayling-Ellis: Old Hands, New Tricks.</p><p>I have felt since I was a kid that BSL was something strange, intriguing, exclusive, and also largely unknown to and misunderstood by us hearing people.</p><p>I think that's why I have such an interest in Welsh - to the linguistic majority (i.e. English speakers), Welsh seems similarly obscure and exclusive and misunderstood.</p><p>I wasn't expecting this to make me cry, though. Opening up communities to welcome newcomers and celebrate difference is so, so, so important, as is to nurture a sense of community, and demonstrating that age *is no barrier* to learning a new skill.</p><p>If you can watch this, do. I highly recommend. I wish I could download it to share it too, as I know iPlayer isn't available worldwide.</p><p><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0029bgh/rose-aylingellis-old-hands-new-tricks-series-1-episode-1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002</span><span class="invisible">9bgh/rose-aylingellis-old-hands-new-tricks-series-1-episode-1</span></a></p><p>Hashtag list incoming:<br><a href="https://expressional.social/tags/BSL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BSL</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/BritishSignLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BritishSignLanguage</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UK</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/SignLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SignLanguage</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linguistics</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/teaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>teaching</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>language</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/Deaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Deaf</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/Community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Community</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/DeafCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DeafCommunity</span></a> (<a href="https://expressional.social/tags/Welsh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Welsh</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/Cymraeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cymraeg</span></a>)</p>
