Hello! 

My name is Cassie, I'm 24 and while I moved to the West Midlands a year ago, I'm back home living in Lincolnshire during lockdown. I've wanted to learn BSL for years - for a few reasons. Firstly, my best friend and my sister have both experienced hearing loss and secondly, I would love to be able to use this skill at work to make my work place more inclusive. Like lots of other people, until now I've not had the time to put into learning something new but I am loving it. Having the structure of the online course means that my sister and I are able to learn together on zoom and practice with each other.

Hi,

My name is Katie, I'm 25 years old and I am a SEND Teacher. I'm confident with Makaton, but have many students who are profoundly deaf and use BSL. Whilst on lock down I thought it would be a great chance to brush up on my BSL! 

I'm looking forward to learning!

      Inclusivity

      By Joy Edwards · Posted

      I work in research and want to learn BSL to enable more inclusivity within this field. I work with many different communities and find that the deaf community is too often overlooked. I want to address this and hopefully learn a lot myself and maybe gain some new friends.

      Why are you learning BSL?

      By Khadijah · Posted

      Hello. I am learning sign language for my DofE award and am currently enjoying it. I am keen to learn it and personally think I am learning it quite well. There is  deaf community centre near me so after I have nailed BSL i intend on visiting and interpreting for my local park run as a volunteer

      Why are you learning BSL?

      By Devanshi · Posted

      I am learning BSL because I want to feel more connected to the Deaf community. Even though I am deaf and use a cochlear implant, I grew up using spoken language, so I never fully learned sign language. Over time, I started to feel left out in Deaf spaces where people communicate through BSL. Learning BSL feels important to me not just for communication, but for belonging. I want to be able to express myself freely, understand others and be part of conversations without barriers. It is also important for my work, as I support people with different needs, and I want to provide more inclusive and accessible support in the future.
