Hello
I am learning British Sign Language as i work in child care. I am also hard of hearing myself. I wear a hearing aid in my right ear due to a mastoid when younger. I also have recently started to wear a hearing aid in my Left ear as my hearing has deteriorated, so in the future i may even need to know BSL.
i feel BSL should be taught in schools as it is a language in itself and there are lots of people that are hard or hearing or deaf. I feel like they would be included more if it was taught as a mandatory subject along side other languages such as french/English.
Any way my name is Donna. looking forward to learning BSL with you all.
