Hi
My name is Clare and I'm learning BSL for two main reasons.
1) I have been interested in learning g sign language general for some time, but never got a round to it.
2) I work in a public library, and while we dont get that many deaf borrowers, we get some and also you can never assume anything Bout a person.
I would love to be able to provide a more inclusive service, rather than just reaching for paper and pen. Like others I've used lockdown as the perfect time to get started.

Hi
I am a newby.
I started learning BSL with a friend during the first lockdown. I kind of let it slide when I went back to work, however I want to try and keep it up, and not be a quitter!
The reason I started, is partially, that I've always wanted to learn sign language, and partially because I am a librarian working with the public and believe it is a good skill to have in that workplace. Afterall public libraries are meant to be for ALL people..
