Hey all, I’m Mariam and new to learning BSL! It’s something I’ve always wanted to learn and due to lockdown I thought now would be the best time! I work in a school and have been able to pick up some signs along the way. I’m looking forward to going back and using my signs! Hope you are all well.

Really great that your using this Time to learn such an important new Skill!

Hi my name is Rebecca, I have always wanted to learn sign language, I work in retail and feel it would be a really brilliant skill to help me connect with my customers. I'm loving learning a new skill and have been surprised by how enjoyable I am finding the lessons. Stay safe and take care everyone.

Hi everyone, I'm really enjoying the course so far! I work for the ambulance service and recently I've had a number of profoundly deaf patients who I've not really been able to communicate with and its very awkward and I feel like I'm not giving them the same dedication as I do with hearing patients so I wanted to start learning BSL.

My name is Molly, last year I completed an Art Degree which led me into contact with a local special needs school. I have presented a few art sessions with a class of mixed disabilities since Spring 2016. I am learning sign language as it is an essential part of communications with this amazing group of children and their teaching team. I have found this course fascinating, informative and compelling me forward to learn more signing. I am looking forward to my next meeting when the lock down is lifted. I would love to work in this area more.

Hi I'm Anna and I'm 18 years old. I decided to learn BSL because my a-levels were cancelled and I wanted something to keep my brain busy and I've always wanted to learn sign language but I've never really felt there was the right opportunity (but this lockdown is perfect!) I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe
