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!)

      Hi my name is Gill and I've just completed lesson 3.  I started learning BSL a number of years ago and went to a Deaf Club in Chorley, Lancashire.  But sadly had to let it go when we moved.  Looking forward to learning again x

      Hi everyone

      Hi, I have joined BSL as I am retiring very soon from Special needs teaching. I have used Makaton signing in my classroom for many years but would like to be able to sign to more people. I also think it will be good for stimulating my brain and I have already become very competitive with myself playing the spelling game!!

      Ive just started to learn how to use BSL and I managed to use fingerspelling to get a message to someone when I wasn't able to speak to them. I am so Glad I started this course I think that it will really help me with my career path in the future.

      Why I am learning BSL?

      By Leunga · Posted

      Hi to all BSL learners, I have decided to learn BSL because as part of my role in healthcare I communicate with a variety of patients and think it will be a good skill to have.  Also my mother and mother-in-law is starting to have problem with their hearing... And I would like to have this skill to help them if they need to learn BSL in the future.
