Hi everyone!

I'm Emma, 17 and I have always wanted to learn sign language. I just think it's so beautiful and mesmerizing to watch, plus it could come in handy one day! I've just started the online course whilst under isolation and am a little intimidated! It's a lot to remember but I'm loving it (especially loving the sign for Scotland - makes me giggle every time, anyone else think of Ross from Friends playing the  bagpipes when they do it?) . Anyway, hoping to learn more about the deaf community as I'm hearing but I think it's important, I never know who I will meet who will be grateful I know some, even if it's just the basics. Also hoping to make some friends!

Happy learning everyone! :)

      Hi my name is Chelsey I've recently started learning sign language as I have always been interested in it but never had the courage/ confidence to learn it. I'm currently a stay at home mum to 2 girls who are 3 and 6 months, when my youngest starts school I would like to get a job involving me being able to use sign language.

      My name is Jude and I am learning BSL in order to make the shop I work in a more inclusive experience for all and this includes people who use BSL to communicate, everyone should be able to have themselves understood (especially during such trying times) and it is clearly a frustration for some and I would prefer to try and show that I am there to enhance their retail experience and make their shopping trips run a little bit more smoothly. I am also in my final year of University and I am excite

      Reason for Learning BSL

      By Jeanie · Posted

      I am interested in learning languages and wanted to learn to sign.  I would like to be more confident when meeting or working with Deaf people and able to communicate.  Think it is important to keep learning new languages.  BSL is really essential to learn and I feel everyone should understand it and learn it.
