Introducing myself

Hey everyone! My name is Kally, I am 35 and I am a complete beginner to BSL, I’ve always wanted to learn as I am a preschool teacher and feel it will help my practice as well as giving me a whole new language! With things the way they are right now I thought it would be the perfect time to commit to it.

Hello, my name is Georgina. British Sign Language is something that I have always been keen to learn! I think that is a very important skill  to have. I also work in a nursery and am fairly new in post with the SENCO role, I use basic Makerton on a day to day basis and learning BSL will teach me a new language in which I will be able to use in my role. Having been furloughed this is the perfect time to learn.

    • I once witnessed a situation in a clinic where a deaf-mute man was trying to explain what was hurting him, but the staff simply did not understand him. It was awkward and offensive to watch a person in a stressful situation left without help just because there was no necessary communication channel. Since then, I have become more interested in how medical support for people with hearing impairments is organized. It turned out that there are websites and services, such as FMRQ customer service ,
    • hello my name is Claire, I have only just started BSL. i have always wanted to learn but only now realised you can do little bits online. if anyone has any tips for learning and practising that would be great. I'm also trying to get my family involved when it comes to learning. we had to learn little bits when my child was diagnosed with a speech disorder but it didn't go into as much depth as this , it was more for favourite toys and snacks and drink.
    • I am a teacher working in London. I have wanted to learn BSL for years but have finally got around to starting an online course. There are a number of deaf students in my school and I feel like it is an excellent skill to have. So far I’m finding it a bit of a challenge but really fun! I’ve started following a few BSL Instagram influencers too and try and practice every day. Looking forward to learning more! Any recommendations very welcome!

    • I work in a college supporting additional needs students, some of whom have hearing impairments or who are d(D)eaf. They come to lectures with interpreters, but  I want to be able to communicate directly with them more easily in future years.
    • The sign for midwife in BSL shows assisting birth (palms facing up, moving down from waist). If you want midwifery services, I'd recommend contacting practitioners directly to discuss their communication approach – many are wonderfully accommodating!
