Hi everyone!

I started this week on the course and so far its been a lot of fun.

My cousin is deaf and I only learnt the alphabet when I was younger, and I always regretted not taking it further.  I've always come across individuals with hearing challenges and have felt guilty that I couldn't communicate with them - hence why I'm here!

Being on lockdown has actually given me this time - so I have no excuses. It's such a worthwhile thing to do.

It's certainly challenging trying to remember all the signs but I'm enjoying it! Feel free to get in touch if you'd like to practice.

Sam

      This is me!

      By Leyya · Posted

      Hi there! I am a primary school teacher and have worked with children who are hard of hearing and children who are non-verbal. I found that learning basic signs helped me better connect with these students and that is why I wanted to study sign language. I am really enjoying the online course. I am looking forward to teaching my year 4 students to recognise and communicate using BSL.

      Do you have to start at level 1?

      By AshleighSteele · Posted

      Hello Adam. I have just seen this post, I see you posted it 4 years ago so this may be difficult to answer. But what was your conclusion? Did you complete BSL Level 1 after completing the Introducing British Sign Language by british-sign.co.uk? Or did you move straight to Level 2?

      Hello!

      By Bethan Rachel · Posted

      Hi, I'm Bethan. I'm learning BSL because I'm a trainee primary school teacher and think it's so important for a classroom to be accessible to all. I also would love to teach pupils in my class BSL. I've been meaning to learn BSL for such a long time and lockdown has given me the chance to spend the time on it. I'm really loving the challenge. It's nice to learn something new and be excited about it

      Why am I learning BSL?

      By Hannah S · Posted

      It's been something I've wanted to learn for a while now, but previously to my work being temporarily shut due to the country being put in lockdown, I didn't feel I had the time to dedicate to fully completing a course. As that was no longer the case after everything happened, the opportunity presented itself to me perfectly so I knew I had to do it. Not only did I want to learn for myself because I'm constantly trying to develop new skills, but I also knew it was something which would help me i
