Good evening all, I hope you are all safe and well. I have started the BSL course as it has always been something I wanted to learn due to having family members and friends who are hard of hearing or deaf. Most of them can lip read but I wanted to give people the option of how we chatted.

I work for a large corporation and no one in the company signs and we have many people coming through, some who have wanted to sign but there was no one available and that's when I decided to look into courses and found BSL. This course has been informative and have recommended it to family. 

During lockdown it has been the perfect time to learn and use the old noggin so it doesn't stop working! Would love to chat and maybe video others who want to practice or have a conversation ( I am only on Animals, home, clothing and school but thought would give it a go.

Take care all :)

      Why I'm Learning BSL

      By Ellie3 · Posted

      I'm learning BSL so I can communicate with my friend and others. It's outrageous that we were never taught this at school so that we can communicate with D/deaf people. I hope to surprise my friend next time I see them. I'm a little worried that I don't pick things up fairly quickly but hopefully I can start to have a conversation with them when I next see them.

      Hi!

      Hi I'm Ellie, I've just started learning sign language so I can communicate with a friend. I'm quite nervous that it will take me a while to pick things up but I'm ashamed we never learnt BSL in school and that I couldn't just communicate with my friend naturally.

      Learning

      By Oilsdad · Posted

      I'm learning BSL because I have hearing loss and tinnitus due to meneieres disease and my hearing getting worse.  I originally took a level 1 course 25+ years ago as I had a friend who was profoundly deaf and a BSL teacher. Unfortunately we lost touch, but now I'm learning again

      Why I'm learning BSL.

      By RowanM · Posted

      I'm autistic and, though I generally have little issue using spoken languages, I find myself looking for an alternative that might feel more comfortable and be more accessible to me during verbal shutdowns. Furthermore, BSL will allow me to connect with more people in the disabled community and other communities I am a part of, which I really value.
