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

      Why am I learning BSL?

      By Lisa.T · Posted

      I'm a student nurse and realise that some may need a nurse who understands BSL. Learning sign also encourages inclusivity and diversity. It's good to chat to people from all walks of life.

      Why am I learning BSL?

      By WillowLT · Posted

      I have grown up with my sisters, and one is profoundly deaf so i have always been able to sign from a young age. Signing with my sister and family members has been fine and a good way of communication. However, when at work ( i work as a manager in a restaurant) i have always found it difficult to use sign with other people as i get nervous (it doesn't stop me). I would love to become more confident and one day become an interpreter so i can help people and grow my skills.

      Why sign language?

      By Cyrill · Posted

      I don’t have a great answer, as many do that I have read here. I am just enjoying learning new things, I want to be able to be inclusive when possible and generally just fascinated when I see people having conversations in sign.
