Hi, I'm Jade and very new to this course! I'm 20 years old and studying at University of Nottingham. I wanted to learn a new skill over quarantine, and also I'm part of a society at uni that provides day trips for disabled children. I wanted to learn BSL to aid my communication with them, before moving on to Makaton too! I think it would benefit both the members and myself. I also have found this more interesting to learn than spoken languages (that I have also been trying, but struggling with motivation haha), so that's an advantage!

I've always wanted to learn BSL, as have always found it fascinating - the ability to communicate without speech! I also am regularly reminded of how easily people can become deaf, and I think learning BSL makes the world more inclusive for those born deaf too. I also work with a society in my uni that provides day trips to young adults with disabilities, and some members struggle to communicate verbally. Therefore, I think learning BSL would help them and me, and I could possibly lead on to Makaton later too.
