I have a lovely year 7 pupil who each Friday tests my understanding of key words in science into BSL and then if I can put them in a sentence and he teaches me those with the help of one of the schools signers and I teach him the scienc

👋🏻 Hello I've just started learning BSL, I've always thought that BSL should have been an option when learning languages at school. I don't have anyone in my immediate circle who uses BSL but I have always wanted to learn. I'm part of an additional needs parenting group and a few of their children use sign language, because they're either deaf or struggle to communiate verbally. I am currently not working so thought now the kids are back to school I'd make the most of my time and learn a new language. Katie x

Hi there! My name is Bethany, and like many of you, I have decided to take the plunge and begin learning BSL during this period of lockdown! I will be graduating this summer with a degree in Psychology and want to use this to start a career in teaching. One of my final year modules focused on Autism Spectrum Disorder, and confirmed to me that I want to work with SENDS children. So, in order to do that, and do it effectively, knowledge of BSL will be so valuable! I took some basic classes in primary school, as one of my classmates was deaf, so I have been able to fingerspell for years, bu

Hey Everyone - Laura here! I have always wanted to develop my skills of sign language for the last year. I know some basic Makaton through working as a TA in SEN Schools but I thought this is the perfect time to start a new challenge and learn the language of BSL! I am very excited to be a part of this, it is already all very helpful to me!

I have thought about learning BSL many years ago but was confused with all the variations, now my daughter has met a deaf mute friend and is learning BSL along with her son very well, I don't see him often but want to slowly study and learn to help communicate the best I can, it has only been a week and I find it very interesting and fun to learn. Once I have leant enough I hope to try signing to other on here if possible. thank you Paul.

Hi. I’m sharna. I wear hearing aids as I am hard of hearing and because of that I’ve always wanted to learn bsl but the courses are very expensive and I tried with just an online course but then I couldn’t practice with people which is what I want (otherwise it’ll be like in one ear and out the other but about eyes instead of ears. Also - I made an ear joke haha - not wanting to offend anyone by that though If you can’t laugh...) I really want it as a second language to the point of I can do it without much thought like I do with English. And hopefully I’ll make friends. Nic
