Ā Hi everyone , My Names Vinnie 34 male from Dublin Ireland but living and working in the Uk for over 11 Years now. I'm learning BSL during lock downĀ as I've loads of time to spare and i cant get enough of it.Ā I already speak French and I was looking to add another language to my pile. I chose BSLĀ for a number of reasons, I did know a bit of ISL (Irish sign language) but had no needs for it being in the UK, as IĀ now class the UK as my home soĀ it's BSL time.

Ā I work in Airline industry and I'veĀ had a number of encounters with deaf people which kinda embarrassed me for not knowing how to at leastĀ communicate in the most basic of manners. This is my main reason for wanting to learn it. I'm so open to meeting people from all walks of life and i would hate to miss out on meeting anyone just because i didn'tĀ speak their language. I personally think Sign Language should be something we all learn in school, even if its just the basics.Ā 

I'm getting stuck in and learning as much as i can, online course. researching, trying to help my learning with sign-along songs etc some can be found on my tiktok @crackedupcrew.Ā  This really helped me with my muscle memory with signing. I'm still learning so there are Ā mistakes. I would love to meet other people who are learning, or Deaf people who want to communicate with the hearing community.Ā 

My goal is to be able to communicate with any deaf person and to learn about the deaf culture.

VinnieĀ šŸ‘‹Ā Ā

      A little about me

      By gegelkins · Posted

      Hi, I am currently a student that is trying to become a Physical Education teacher. My reason for learning sign language is because I have had students that are D/deafĀ and I would love to communicate better with them without the use of external help. Also I have some family members that are losing their hearing or lost it so I would also still love to communicate with them as well. I have only just started but very excited to learn and develop my knowledge furtherĀ Ā

      Why learn BSL?

      By Myriam · Posted

      Hi there, Ā  The reason I have decided to learn BSL is that I want to work in healthcare and with the cochlear implant, and therefore want to make sure I can use it and make my patients comfortable.Ā

      Introducing me.

      I'm involved in HE, both student and tutor, although very matured šŸ˜¶ā€šŸŒ«ļø. My reasons for starting to learn BSL are mainly two. First, I have a colleague who is very proficient and she has been helpful to several people in her use of BSL, I would like to be able to help too. Also, it enhances me in working with people. I have only just begun, but sometime soonĀ  it'd be good to practice. I shall come back and check if anyone else wants to practice when I've progressed further.
