I decided to start learning BSL to learn a skill and to be able to communicate with more people more easier. I have worked in hospitality for coming up 6 years, and customer service being 8 years, and I would love to be able to use BSL to communicate with someone who uses it. I feel as not many people know the language (I certainly don't know anyone that knows BSL), I can imagine it would make a difference to someone's day and feel understood without having to use the means of pen and paper or rely on whoever they are with (if they are with anyone) to speak for them.

Hi Jess! I have just joined this forum; your post was at the top. I have been doing a BSL course for a few weeks now, I've recently passed the assessment on jobs, greetings & places. I found that writing down the word then something I relate to that hand action helps me to learn and remember it. Then I'll wean myself off of it. Enjoying it too so far and totally with you wishing I had started earlier too!
