Hello everyone. My name is Lewis and I live in Bristol.
I've decided to learn BSL after my 9 year old daughter expressed an interest. She has a deaf friend in school and wanted to be able to sign to her in order to make friends and I wanted to be able to help her with that
I thought about it and I also have deaf clients at work and whilst I've been able to get by in the past by lip-reading and writing things down, I wanted to be able to communicate better with them.
I've always had an interest in languages so figured that this would be a useful language to learn
