I'm learning bsl both to broaden my experiences and knowledge of others, as well as research for my book. I'm a writer, and my book I'm working on has a deaf teenager as the main character. I want to portray her as accurately alys possible, so research online as well as doing this course has helped a lot, and I'm sure this forum will too! Learning so far has been incredibly fascinating and eye opening, and I'm excited to learn more and educate others through my book!
