I have a fascination with learning a new language all my life. I guess I just love the idea of being able to communicate with people from different cultures and backgrounds. I've learnt 'little bits' from a few languages; mainly around saying "hello, how are you?", that sort of thing, and having lived in both Germany and Cyprus, I have tried to learn German and Greek, being able to speak and read a good amount of each language. However I struggled to hold a conversation as I couldn't translate fast enough.

Having tried, and mainly failed, with spoken languages, I though I may have more success with a visual language, so am trying to learn BSL.

I don't have any deaf  friends or family, however 2 of my sisters sign in their local churches, and it fascinates me to see them.

      Why I am learning BSL

      By Katherine M · Posted

      I have recently become an ECA and whilst sat by a river on standby with my friend one day he told me he had signed up for a BSL course. I thought you know what that sounds like a good idea I will do the same. So I did. A week later my friend died unexpectedly and it was the worst time in my life. I miss him so much but I thought I would still do this course anyway, we were going to use it to sign to each other during cardiac arrests as we have to wear Level 3 PPE at the moment which makes it ver

      Hey guys, My name's Lucy and I'm a student at the moment training to be a nanny. I did a placement last year in a school for children with Special Educational Needs and absolutely loved it, so I'm trying to learn a little bit of BSL so I'm able to communicate with deaf/Deaf children or any person that uses sign language to communicate, as I'd like to retrain as a Special Needs teacher later on. I'm still a total beginner but I'm hoping to pick it up:)
