Hi everyone,

I'm Steph and I'm new to BSL. I've decided to learn to sign as I'm slowly losing my hearing at the age of 16 and so want to be proactive before I lose it altogether!

I've set myself a goal this year to at least learn how to spell my name and introduce myself so keep your fingers crossed for me! 🙂

Hello there 

My name is Molly I’m 19, I am also learning sign language I have some hearing difficulties in both ears. I don’t know wether my hearing is getting worse. I’m doing an online course and am really enjoying it.
Good luck with your learning!

Hi, my name is Lowri and I'm 17. Hopefully in September I will be going to university to study Primary Education. I thought learning BSL would be a great skill to have in the classroom to allow me communicate with every student. I'm currently half way through the online course and I am thoroughly enjoying it.

      Learning to make my art accessible

      By splodge · Posted

      Hi! I am learning BSL alongside a group of hearing friends and our deaf friend who will in some years will need BSL to communicate. But I am also a theatre maker and want to be able to collaborate with Deaf artists and audiences. I am also autistic and find verbal communication difficult sometimes so I'm hoping BSL can help me communicate.

      Why I'm learning BSL

      By Dawnie · Posted

      Hi Jenny, that is something they have mentioned but to be honest I've not yet really had any information about them just had a bout of perichondritis it just seems to be one thing after another I have another ENT appointment 28th December I'll ask for some information, thankyou 😊

      Why am I learning BSL?

      By JB123 · Posted

      I've decided to learn BSL because I've experienced sudden onset severe hearing loss in both ears. The ENT has told me there isn't anything they can do to help. I'm in the early stages of getting bone-anchored hearing aids; this process will take about a year. I want to have as many communication tools in my arsenal as possible, especially as my hearing is likely to continue to worsen.   Jenny

      Hi Dawn, I also suffered from chronic infections with in-ear hearing aids. Have you and your GP/ENT/Audiologist ever discussed bone-anchored hearing aids?  I'm trialling them now and so far it's an absolute game-changer for me. They sit behind the ear and use bone conduction to stimulate the auditory nerve; nothing has to go inside your ear with those.   Jenny

      Hi all

      By JB123 · Posted

      So here's a quick introduction to myself. My name is Jenny. I'm a teacher and therapist for children with learning or emotional support needs. I'm learning BSL because I have just recently experienced sudden and severe mixed hearing loss in both ears.  I'm hoping I'll be approved for implantation of bone-anchored hearing aids soon, but that process will take at least a year so in the meantime... here I am!

      None gendered terms for family (ie. sibling, child, parent)

      For when you don't know the gender of who you're talking about and when talking to people who are non-binary (like myself).

      Hello everyone I work in a prison and I’m very aware we have limited resources in terms of BSL. Trying to learn the basics to support anyone who may find themselves in custody
