Hi I am new to learning too, I have used makaton in work but my partner is hard of hearing so we are both learning sign language so she will never feel left out of conversations in louder places. It is hard but at least with lock down we have a bit more time, though we are both in education and still working. 

Nice to meet you. Sign language is great!

I'm really enjoying it too!

I've wanted to learn for years, I did try and teach myself a few years ago but I told myself I would learn properly this year, and the lockdown has proven perfect timing!

There are a few signs I'm struggling with, I'm not sure if it's the course I am doing that is over complicating the signs though as when I search for the same signs online (Youtube and on other websites) the signs seem to be slightly different which is causing me a bit of confusion! One example being 'Birthday' - for some reason I can't seem to do it (I'm probably over thinking it!)

      My name is LJ, and I decided to learn BSL to open up career opportunities and whilst i know a few basic signs, learning it fully has always been a goal of mine

      Hi :-)

      Hi everyone, my name is sue and I started to learn sign language in February.  I was diagnosed with a brain tumour last year, and have lost one side of my hearing due to an operation and the hearing in my other ear isn’t great.  I was always interested in signing and watching Rose on strictly last year sealed my interest.  I really hope I can go on to use it more. 🙂

      What is the sign for therapy or is it just fingerspelled?

      Hi

      By Tanith · Posted

      Hi, I started the BSL course 2 years ago during lockdown but found it hard doing it by myself. my daughter has chosen to do it as part of her DofE skills so we are now learning it together. For me it will be a valuable tool in my job as a sen teaching assistant and hopefully my daughter will find it useful in the future as well.

      Why am I learning BSL?

      By ElenaC · Posted

      To better communicate with the people around me and to improve accessibility.

      Hello!

      By ElenaC · Posted

      I'm learning BSL, finally. I like many others believe it should be taught in schools and offered as classes throughout education. However, I'm learning to allow myself to communicate with others

      Why am I learning BSL?

      I can speak three languages and I'd like to communicate with people (deaf or not) using BSL, too. I believe being able to speak BSL would help integrate us more to our society and communicate with deaf members of our society.

      I wanted to learn BSL for years. I am hard of hearing but never learned to sign and now learning level 2. I'd love to help bring the deaf and hearing communities together more.
