Hi!

My name is Jonty, I'm 21 and a 2nd year medical student at Edinburgh uni. Like a lot of people on here I am now working from home due to COVID-19, but am keen to keep learning sign language as I was taking classes at uni. I hope that one day I can use what I have learnt to help patients without needing to find an interpreter. :)

I am about halfway through my online intro course but have done lessons before.

If anyone wants to practice with just let me know. I'm pretty easy going and have a lot of spare time atm, would be fun!

Hello Jonty, 

I am also keen on learning bsl but I have no clue when to start. I know no signs and would like to practice with someone so it might be easier to form conversation and correct imperfections. 

Also congrats on your medical studies 

Cheyenne~

      Why I'm learning BSL

      By Dawnie · Posted

      Hi Jenny, that is something they have mentioned but to be honest I've not yet really had any information about them just had a bout of perichondritis it just seems to be one thing after another I have another ENT appointment 28th December I'll ask for some information, thankyou 😊

      Why am I learning BSL?

      By JB123 · Posted

      I've decided to learn BSL because I've experienced sudden onset severe hearing loss in both ears. The ENT has told me there isn't anything they can do to help. I'm in the early stages of getting bone-anchored hearing aids; this process will take about a year. I want to have as many communication tools in my arsenal as possible, especially as my hearing is likely to continue to worsen.   Jenny

      Hi Dawn, I also suffered from chronic infections with in-ear hearing aids. Have you and your GP/ENT/Audiologist ever discussed bone-anchored hearing aids?  I'm trialling them now and so far it's an absolute game-changer for me. They sit behind the ear and use bone conduction to stimulate the auditory nerve; nothing has to go inside your ear with those.   Jenny

      Hi all

      By JB123 · Posted

      So here's a quick introduction to myself. My name is Jenny. I'm a teacher and therapist for children with learning or emotional support needs. I'm learning BSL because I have just recently experienced sudden and severe mixed hearing loss in both ears.  I'm hoping I'll be approved for implantation of bone-anchored hearing aids soon, but that process will take at least a year so in the meantime... here I am!

      None gendered terms for family (ie. sibling, child, parent)

      For when you don't know the gender of who you're talking about and when talking to people who are non-binary (like myself).

      Hello everyone I work in a prison and I’m very aware we have limited resources in terms of BSL. Trying to learn the basics to support anyone who may find themselves in custody

      I am learning because

      By SharonT · Posted

      Hi, I am currently doing BSL Level 1 as I have a beautiful 21 month old grandaughter who has unilateral sensorineural deafness.  We had completed some courses through the NDCS and this spurred me on to start my sign language journey 😁
