I'm a hearing person who is disabled and chronically ill, and have been since I was very young. I am also an artist, writer and amateur programmer that likes to create comics, games and stories with all my time cooped up indoors- recently I began a project which mainly focused on a group of disabled charatcers, one of which is hard of hearing. I started doing my homework to portray and draw this charatcer signing accurately (to my local sign language at least!) and i ended up really enjoying it.

So, whether you identify as disabled or not- you have my solidarity and I am eager to gain more insights into the Deaf community, as well as many other communities-- both so that my horizons are broadened and so that I can represent them as faithfully as I can in my art and stories.

      Hi, I am new to this forum. I am currently doing an online on-demand course along with a friend. I studied modern languages many years ago and am really interested to learn BSL - it is such an interesting and expressive language. I am also deaf in one ear (since early childhood) so am conscious that my hearing could worsen at some point.

      Why am I learning BSL?

      By Xenia Lopez · Posted

      I have always been really passionate about languages, and a few years ago I came across Christine Sun Kim Ted "The enchanting music of sign language" and it sparked my curiosity about SL. At that moment I knew nothing about it, I genuinely felt so surprised "how can it be that such a fascinating form of communication is so forgotten by the hearing folks???" A few years later after that (I had been working in improving and mastering my English), and especially since I am moving to Scotland i
