Hi all, I am Clair and I am learning BSL to help me with my job. I work in a secondary school and the majority of children/teenagers communicate using BSL. I have been there for about 3 months and have managed to get by with the help of other people. I figured that given the current climate, now would be the perfect time to study BSL as I have more time to devote to it and it would make me less dependant on other people at work. I am really enjoying it so far and looking forward to putting my new skills to use when I am in work.

Hi Clair, I am also a Teaching Assistant but in a Primary School setting. I have started to learn as it is something I have wanted to try for a longtime now. I have worked with children using Makaton for a while now and am looking at BSL as a way to enhance and broadening  my horizons as I would like to work with SEN children of all ages. I am also doing it along side my Daughter who is learning for her Bronze D of E.

      why i am learning bsl

      By Annabelle · Posted

      Hello  I have been a support worker for almost 11 years never had any clients using BSL, but since joining my new company we have 3 clients that use BSL. I thought it would be a great time, very useful and interesting to learn BSL now.  The couple that i visit are very happy that i am learning BSL and show me some new signs for words.

      Sound and silence for D/deaf in cinema

      By welloson · Posted

      Hello! I agree, everyone loves high-quality sound when listening to music, for example. Tell me, on which portal do you usually listen to your favorite music? Personally, I like YouTube, but lately I've been very tired of advertising. So I went to the ytmp3.lc website and successfully converted all my favorite songs to mp3 format. It took me no more than half an hour and now I can enjoy the high-quality sound of MP3 music.

      Why learn BSL?

      By Bridiemtg · Posted

      I am learning BSL to support one of the chidren who attends my nursery. He is nearly 2 and has profound hearing loss, he will possibly have a cochlea implant but will likely need to use signs too.

      It's just always fascinated me and I want to give it a go.  Maybe I'll be able to support/help a deaf person one day.
