I'm the service lead for an information and advice service at a Disabled Peoples Organisation in Preston. Prior to the awful situation we are in at the moment we decided it would be good for those of us with interaction with clients to learn BSL. Many of us are now working from home and our work patterns have changed dramatically, so now could be a good time to learn. I'm one of the lucky few that has to isolate for 12 weeks, so hopefully I should have a some command of the language by the time I am set free. 

My closest friend from my Uni days from over 20 years ago uses BSL as her first language, I've been promising her all this time that I will learn when I get time. I finally get to keep my promise.

    • Hello to you all! I'm on S3 of BSL level 1 course and was recommended to come here to practice signing which I'd love to do. Great to be here and looking forward to future signing with you guys 😊
    • Hi, I’m Vivien. I started learning BSL as my son was hard of hearing and wanted to support him to communicate. I’m also looking to understand and support the deaf community and looking forward to learning more! 
    • Welcome to the forum, Katherine! It's great that you've decided to learn BSL! How long have you been learning for up to now?
    • Hello! My name is Katherine, I am a British-Mexican linguist, and am beginning to work as a part-time primary school teaching assistant. I also do a bit of English/Spanish translating and interpreting on the side. Growing up with 2 languages and 2 cultures, moving back and forth between countries, resulted in certain language and speech difficulties, making sign languages very attractive to me personally. I started learning Mexican sign language years ago but never continued, and upon resettling back here I am finally committed to learn sign language, and find BSL fascinating. I look forward to communicate in BSL with other students as well as within the deaf community, whom I'm very curious to meet. Cheers!
