      Why am I learning BSL

      By oyin_bello · Posted

      Hi everyone, my name is Oyinkan I am an 18 (nearly 19) year old medical student. Communication is a big part of building relationships and uniting communities so I'm learning BSL because I think it is important for hearing people to take the initiative to learn how to communicate and understand the deaf community more! I also believe that by learning BSL it will enable me to become a better more inclusive doctor when I finish my degree! I learnt a bit of ASL when I was younger but I am so excite

      Why I am learning BSL

      By LauraW · Posted

      I have always wanted to learn BSL and love learning new languages generally. I learnt to fingerspell at a young age and have always wanted to learn more. I now work across a number of primary school working with children with SEN including HI and those who are pre-verbal and sign as their main form of communication, so I would like to be able to interact with them more.

      Why I'm Learning Sign Language

      By Ollie Higgs · Posted

      Hi everyone! I'm learning BSL for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I've always been fascinated with Sign Language - it's such a complex, beautiful and expressive language and has a brilliant community to go along with it. I've been trying to learn on and off for a few years but wasn't ever able to put aside enough time to commit to it! But now I've joined a group in my congregation who teach it, and it's been so much fun to learn together! Even through this pandemic we've been able to continue

      Hi everyone! I'm Catherine and have just finished studying at Glasgow University. Sign language is something I always wanted to learn and now I have plenty of time to do it so I decided to sign up to an online course and am loving it! I feel sign language is such a great skill to learn because it can help you to be a more inclusive person and I think it is important to be aware of the means of communication in the deaf community. There is a man at my church who communicates using BSL and I alway

      Hi, in my role as a Traffic Officer for Highways England. I helped a family that was deaf, because of their lip reading skills we where able to communicate.  Ever since then I have wanted to learn BSL. Hopefully at basic level but aiming for higher if possible.
