Yes, hello! My name is Ashley, I’m 19 and living in West Sussex. I think there’s a few reasons I’m learning BSL;
1. My interest in linguistics and language learning,
2. To be able to communicate with other people who use it, such as those in the Deaf community,
3. Because I experience social anxiety, and spoken conversations can sometimes be overwhelming.
I don’t know if I’ll be very active on here, but I thought I’d say hello!
