Hello I am learning BSL because I think it would benefit me and my family in the future . I have been classified as deaf with speech. I hear very little without hearing aids. If I get an infection or my aids don't work for one reason or another ( like dropping them in the sink by mistake) I find understanding what's going on quite hard. My family have decided to learn with me as there was no point me learning on my own . We are working our way through the on line BSL course . We found that learn -

Hi, I'm Jade and very new to this course! I'm 20 years old and studying at University of Nottingham. I wanted to learn a new skill over quarantine, and also I'm part of a society at uni that provides day trips for disabled children.

I also have found this more interesting to learn than spoken languages (that I have also been trying, but struggling with m -

Hi all, I'm a support worker, and I've been working with the deaf community for a few years - learning BSL along the way (I was about to start my level 3 before lockdown happened) - and now we're in lockdown my caseload has all moved to facetime! Because we took a while to get all our tech sorted out and deal with other crises, I have fallen out of practice and I'm really hoping to build up my fluency again and improve my receptive skills so I can offer better support to my service users -
