HI Everyone 

I'm Vinnie,  I'm 34, I work for a Uk Holiday Airline, I'm Cabin Crew ✈️ and I've had way to many embarrassing situation on the aircraft with Deaf people which has made me want to learn BSL, I don't think it's acceptable for any person to be left out or excluded just because they;re Deaf/HOH, and even if I wont be able to sign everything i think it's important to be able to sign the basics, Airports are crazy enough for hearing people as it is, I cant even imagine what it's like for a deaf person trying to get information, i get lost most of the time and I work at the airports. This should be included in general education at schools for all kids. its common courtesy. and even if my basic signing helps someone in needs of help or being able to provide a better travel experience then it's 100% worth it . ALL AIRPORTS should at least have one person on duty at all times that can sign to help out if needed or just to provide general information.

      Hi, I'm mothcat. I've wanted to learn BSL for a long time, and have been considering it more seriously for the past year. I finally decided to do a course! When I worked in a coffeeshop, one customer came in who signed their order. I couldn't understand what they were saying vocally, and I knew no sign language, so they ended up having to write down their order. It felt really wrong and horrible at the time, and now I know that the word for it is audism. Since then, I've started a job where

      Good morning all.

      My name is Andrew and I am looking at learning BSL as a way to better myself and increase my understanding. Not finding it easy but I am finding it rewarding and I guess that is more important. Stay safe.

      Why I am 'trying' to learn Sign Language.

      By Andrew Tanner · Posted

      Good morning all. Brand new to this and not without concerns. Not deaf or indeed hard or hearing but certainly interested enough to learn. Planning on a career change to Adult Social Care and feel learning BSL would be of benefit. Wish me luck. Thank you.
