Hi all, my name is Via! I'm picking up BSL during lockdown for a number of reasons:

1) I need something to do and have always wanted to learn BSL

2) It's something else to mention at job interviews and when I get to Uni

3) I want to work using the arts, especially drama and theatre, to help people build their skills and confidence. This is called Applied Theatre or Applied Arts, and I believe that no-one should be excluded from it. Most people use it with children, anyone living with learning difficulties or mental health issues or in prisons, hospitals or homeless shelters, and I want to be able to communicate with as many people I might come across as possible!

4) I think signing is a really beautiful language to watch, and I want to be able to understand it when I see people doing it.

      Reasons for learning

      By Jeetus Maximus Sohpal · Posted

      I strongly believe that sign language is a very important skill to have - being able to sign allows widening of my communication and also means I do not have to rely on others. I have worked in IT for 15+ years and would like to find better and more effective ways of connecting both sign language and IT.

      Hi!

      Good evening,   I achieved my beginners certification last week Friday. A few weeks ago I decided that signing is/should be an essential skill that I need and as a result I signed up to the course on the website and just went for it. I have worked in IT for the best part of 15 years (user support and projects) and part of my motivation for learning sign language is to find a way or ways to connect sign language with IT. Some personal info - i’m 40 years old, with an amazing 6

      About me!

      By Sandra Charlton · Posted

      Hi my name is Sandra, I am a grandmother of 13, we are a very close family but sometimes it does get a bit annoying when I am trying to complete an assessment. They send me photos and messages constantly, if I don’t reply they think there is something wrong, this means I am stopping and starting! I type slowly anyway (my ipad is old, keys stick, school issue) so my times for completing assessments are not quick. I hope I don”t get penalised at the end of the course! I am hoping I will gain enoug
