Hi Everyone, My name is Allan Im a hearing person that has completed The Signiture BSL Level 1 back in 2021, I completed it online via Teams as we were currently in lockdown and as we were unable to do it face to face. I really enjoyed the course as it opened up my eyes as to how much a hearing person takes their hearing for granted, i am looking to go onto Level 2 in the near future, and expand on my level 1 training. I have always wanted to learn sign language from a teenager but never followed it through, Wish i had now. I am a little nervous using sign language just incase i get it wrong, but i look at it as learning practice for myself and that is how i find i get to use it and get better at it, and i can also add it to my CV as well/

Hello, I'm enjoying the BSL introduction course heaps. I wish more hearing people learned sign language so we could communicate more readily in different spaces using BSL (or another sign language). It'd be such a nudge to encouraging inclusivity of the Deaf community. I'm learning because I've always wanted to and stumbled across the free course online but see such potential in BSL for people like me who experience sensory overwhelm from sounds and people due to other invisible disabilities. Good luck everyone that's learning and hi to all.

Hi everyone my little boy is six years old has Down syndrome and Autism spectrum Condition. His hearing is fine but his speech is severely delayed and is only just beginning to emerge - parts of words and sounds but they're mainly copied. He attends a school which teaches BSL throughout so although he started on Makaton he has been learning BSL for the last three years. His signing is once again just copying others however when his one to one signs to him he clearly has a good understanding of the signs. We have been trying to learn BSL through books etc but I'm looking for a suitable course in the Liverpool area. The night school courses aren't suitable they seem to be aimed at adults whereas I need infant type subject matter also they are £800 basic level. Any ideas? Thanks x

Hi, my name is Ivy! I am learning British Sign Language as part of my silver Duke Of Edinburgh award, as well as to better communicate with those with hearing or speech impairments that mean they communicate with sign language. This course is really helpful for that as it provides all the information in an organised and informative way.

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone here can help me. I have written a play, a solo show, and there are a couple of sections in which I will be signing BSL. I completed a certifying basic BSL course, so I can sign, but these concepts are quite subtle and tricky (mainly about spirituality and religion, or certain specific actions such as 'stumbling'). I know some of them, found others online, but I still don't have all of them so I'm wondering whether anyone can send me in the right direction? A BSL consultant/coach would be ideal here because I also want to make sure I do all the signs right, after I learn what they are. But in the meantime, if everyone has any pointers for me, I'd be super grateful. Either showing me the signs for this section, or advising who to contact. It's only 250 words (not all of them to be signed), about half a page. Here's the text below. Thanks so much in advance! Alexander ----------------- NOTE: Only the parts in italic are signed (and spoken), the rest is spoken only and is given here for context purposes. SCENE 3 Sorry, sir, I can't hear you. (…) A feeling. That’s how you described it, wasn’t it? I said, how do you live your spirituality if you can’t recite the Qur’an? It’s a feeling, you signed. It can happen at any time, any moment. I could be on the bus, or cooking. Or talking to you. And I just know, and I am grateful. (Awkward) I don’t get it, I said. I also get a feeling, sure, it’s my Faith that God is there, He’s everywhere, but -- learning the Scriptures, studying them, reciting them brings me closer to God. Makes me feel right, inside. That’s the best we can hope for in our earthly life, is it not? Sure, you replied, simply. So how can you... (A beat) I’m sorry. I’m not trying to make you feel inadequate, I just -- You just want to know what it’s like to be me. It’s okay. I understand. But you can’t. Only I can be me. You can only be you. And we can only do our best, until we’re living the life God has given us. (A little annoyed) Yes, obviously, but — SCENE 7 It was a baby, officer. I turned around, from the distance, and saw him getting near, stumbling towards the backpack. (Laughs) Little baby explorer. He wanted to check it out, play with it. “It's not a toy!”, I shouted. Back when I could shout. Speak, even. (…) Please, officer... Will you save me? (…) (To the baby brother, smiling) Hey, how are you? (…) I love you. Let’s go. ----------------

My name is Katie and I have just completed the BSL introductory course. I have done this course as part of my Duke of Edinburgh bronze award, which I am hoping will help me regarding employment and with my general skills in the future.

I am learning BSL as part of my Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award. I am doing an introductory course on the British Sign Language website which I would strongly recommend to anyone, especially people doing DofE. It was very easy to find and start the course - it was one of the suggested skills (3 month) courses on the DofE website for the Bronze award. It cost £25 to enroll, but the experience I have had learning BSL on there was worth the money. I enjoy learning languages, and BSL has really interested me. Now I feel more confident around people to read the body and sign language.

I experienced a really heavy non-verbal day some months ago now, and as part of learning to be more comfortable within my own symptoms I decided to learn BSL to help support me during those kind of days. I've been sharing & practicing what I've learnt so far with my partner & our housemates too

Because I have friends that are deaf

Hey BSL Forum! We at Otermans Institute are currently developing a process to support students with hearing impairments when over 7 million people in the UK alone suffer from severe hearing disabilities. This is done by building an AI model that aims to provide close to real-time translation of educational content in British Sign Language. We are urgently looking for individuals who know British sign language to support us with this. The role is varied and up to individual volunteer’s strengths and interests. However, the core support task includes actively working on deciphering sign language and data collection to support this AI model. This is a voluntary role and each ‘Sign Language Champion’ who completes working with us will receive support with paid training. Requirements: Knowledge of British Sign Language (Level 3 or higher) For more information, visit here Contact: [email protected] If you fulfil the requirements, please contact us or if know anyone who can contribute, please do share this with them. It would be of great help for the technology to expand and to help the community.-

At university I studied Fine Art, and my practice was primarily centered around notions of the body. In particular, the importance of touch and physical communication fascinated me. I believe this is why studying BSL recently has felt such a joy for me; something directly in keeping with the concepts I was excited to explore during my degree. Since graduating, I started my first full-time job in September as a Learning Support Assistant in a local secondary school's Hearing Impaired Resource Base. I can safely say that I have loved working with the students so far, as well as among colleagues whose communication skills I admire such as ToDs and interpreters. Thanks to this job and the influence of those I work with, I've gained a newfound enthusiasm to really practice my BSL (and hopefully, one day, become proficient at it!). ☺️ ~ Amy
