      Long term language goal

      By AMK · Posted

      I've wanted to learn sign language since 2020, after I had learnt how Deaf and HoH people had difficulty reading lips because of the masks, but because BSL wasn't widely taught to hearing people, communication was more difficult for people in the deaf community. I had even come across this course funnily enough, when I was looking for lessons, but got overwhelmed with university exams and shelved the idea for the time being. Then a deaf charity came to my door to ask me to sign up for donations

      Always wanted to learn but now I have to!

      By Flurgle · Posted

      I've always wanted to learn BSL and even got the course as a Christmas present one year but I'm not great at sticking to things and life got in the way. However, a month or two ago my husband lost his hearing overnight and we suddenly found ourselves in a position where we could only communicate by writing everything down. Without technology and voice recognition apps I would have writer's cramp constantly. He is getting better at lip reading but as I have lost a few front teeth so he struggles

      Hello!

      By Vicky97 · Posted

      Hi, I'm learning BSL at home as I think its important to be able to communicate with anyone I meet in my job in retail. I haven't had a chance to use any of my signs yet but am practising/revising them regularly so I don't forget! I really enjoyed watching the recent Channel 4 Paralympic coverage with BSL as it gave me a chance to practice watching a fast signer. Bye x
