Before learning to speak my second language fluently, I was wondering what it must feel like to think in a different language without having to translate first from your native language, because that’s what you do at first, you do tend to translate from your native language.

When I reached the intermediate level in English and that I was fluent, I started to ask myself a different question: How do you think with gestures? How do you think in Sign Language? How do you structure your thoughts?

In 2008, I decided to learn a sign Language. As I was living in the UK, I took a course to learn the British Sign Language. 

In this episode, I want to talk about my motivation to learn BSL and what came out of that experience.
