As I am HoH and even with hearing aids I have difficulty understanding people. So I’m learning to help myself and hopefully I can teach my partner and friends. Hopefully eventually I can find more people like me.
Hi I’m Ami-May. I am HoH.. severe hearing loss in left ear and profoundly deaf in right ear. I wear hearing aids. I’m learning BSL for myself so I can communicate better with my partner and friends and hopefully they learn along side me.
Hi !
Iam Karen , I would like to join your forum and possibly work with some other people. I decided to do BSL because I needed to exercise my hand and I wanted to do something that was more interesting than just exercising, and I thought BSL might help me with someone if they were deaf.
I am now in my 8th week at Remark for my level 2 BSL course and really enjoying it. I will be attend the Deaf Day at City Lit this Saturday, and it's free; Deaf Day 2026 | London | City Lit .

Years ago I employed a deaf lady who taught me how to finger spell. I never forgot it and could remember it years later. I always wanted to learn more but I have no need for it as such as I don’t know anyone who is deaf. I’m embarrassed to say I can’t really speak any other language than a bit of German, so I’ve decided I need a second language and I’ve chosen BSL. My colleague is learning it too so we can practice with each other. I would love to join up with other learners too!
