Wow Mark - your signing was great - and that's after just two weeks!?
Your facial expressions looked super.

I'll admit I struggled with the speed of your sentence, but that's my problem.

Good Luck with the rest of the course.

      Introduction and the 'Why'

      By Neil.TKD5 · Posted

      Hi,  I'm Neil from Kent. I am fully hearing. I am a complete beginner and trying to learn as had an interacting with a deaf person and realised how utterly ignorant i was! I then learnt a couple of signs to be able to say hello / good evening etc to be polite.... and guess it spiralled from there.

      Why am I learning BSL?

      By ChrisL · Posted

      I initially started a Facilities Management BSc at the University of Lancashire, however after finding it wasn't for me, I decided to see what other degrees they had on offer. LUCKILY, I found BSL and Deaf studies! I am so happy to be learning BSL and about Deaf culture. It's hard! but worth it.. "I KNOW I PUT THIS ON THE WRONG THREAD!" AHHHHH Chris

      Hello Mathew! My name is Chris, I am on a similar journey, I am also not Deaf, however I do have mild hearing loss and tinnitus.

      Hello from Chris Long – BSL Student in Preston, Lancashire!

      By ChrisL · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m Chris Long, and I’m absolutely thrilled to join this fantastic BSL community! I’m currently studying BSL and Deaf Studies at the University of Lancashire, and I’m loving every step of this journey. I’m not Deaf, but I live with hearing loss and tinnitus, which has inspired me to learn BSL and connect more deeply with Deaf culture and communication. I’m based in Lancashire and passionate about connecting with people through signing and building relationships in this vibrant community. I’m still early in my BSL learning, with lots to discover, and I’m excited to learn from all of you. Fun fact: I’ve got about 20 hours of experience flying microlight aircraft, which is as exhilarating as mastering a new BSL sign! I’d love to hear from you all! What’s your favorite thing about BSL, or do you have any tips for a student like me balancing hearing loss and studies? Also, any Lancashire locals know of Deaf events or meetups I could join? Can’t wait to connect and share stories! Best, Chris Long

      Introducing Myself

      By Matthew B · Posted

      Hi! My name is Matthew, I am a Belgian student of English literature and linguistics. I have always had an interest in languages, and have wanted to learn a sign language for quite some time. Since I primarily use English in both my private and professional life, I decided to prioritise BSL for now. I myself am not Deaf but I do experience trouble with auditory processing, and I think accessibility in communication is very important and yet undervalued. I look forward to learning more of BSL and the Deaf community.
