Posted March 29, 2020

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.

  I wanted to learn BSL for years. I am hard of hearing but never learned to sign and now learning level 2. I'd love to help bring the deaf and hearing communities together more.

  I'm learning BSL because I'm deeply involved in campaigning on social issues and want to help with accessibility in those movements.

  Hello everyone! I've been interested in sign language since I was taught and introductory course when I was a lot younger and now have the time to continue that education and learn it properly.

  Hello everyone, I am new to BSL and would like to say hi 👋 I have always wanted to learn sign language, and I finally have started and loving it so far, my little girl learns sign at school so it is a nice way to develop an essential skill and form of communication together. I have a passion for learning.

  Hi Everybody, I'd just like to know what this particular image means in terms of the sign language the lady is using. I need to use an image for an email - but need to know what this means. Thank you in advance for your help. Kind regards, Deborah

  It is as important as any other language and I want to be able to communicate with people who use it.
