      I have taken this up as I have some hearing difficulty gradually getting worse and also feel it will help in my work environment.

      Hi everyone. Name me what, Jeff. I've been basic signing for about 10 years now after getting a basic lesson from the company that I used to work for. My aim now, is to become fully competent within BSL and gain a qualification, and then look for any kind of employment that relates to BSL.

      Hello everyone. I am incredibly new to BSL (I've had one class at introductory level so far but I intend to pursue). I am 48 and I am experiencing some hearing loss but really I want to learn to sign to give myself more communication options and to be able to communicate with as many people as I can.

      British Sign Language - Introducing myself

      By melissacussons · Posted

      Hello everyone, For my introduction to British Sign Language training, I am to post here my reasons to why I am dedicated to learn BSL.

I also volunteer with the NHS doing art sessions with long term patients. After my BA Fine Art course at the Open University, I wish to apply for a masters MSc in Art Therapy. I fe

      BSL course query

      By lizziedoll · Posted

      Hello! I am very new here and I would like recommendations of online BSL courses where I can learn online in the evening. Cost isn’t an issue but it needs to be money well spent.  For context, am a lifelong hearing aid wearer with no BSL knowledge apart from finger spelling the alphabet… slowly.    Thanks in advance.

      Hi there  Name we what - Michelle...I have a hearing loss and wear cross aids. Hearing is tricky in many situations such as shops, restaurants and busy places. I am learning BSL with my adult daughter, so that we can sign together when hearing is tough. It will definitely help in fitness classes where, with the air conditioning and music I can barely hear instructions.  We are looking to connect with others to help me learn and embed signs. Please do connect with us.  Mrs Mi :)

      Hi everyone.

      Name me what Lewis - I've just started and I'm loving it - such a beautiful language. I decided to learn BSL for no other reason than I liked the thought of it, plus it's a language spoken in our country, so seems strange to not know it. I am also starting to go deaf in one ear, so maybe there's some pre-emptive learning happening too in case I lose my hearing completely. Nice to be here.
