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.

      Hello

      By Rachel Knapp · Posted

      Hello I'm Rachel and I have just begun learning BSL. My interest to learn BSL is because of my uncle, who was born deaf. I can do some very basic signs to communicate with him but want to be able to communicate more with him.

      BSL for pharmacy

      By LCPharm · Posted

      I started to learn BSL during the first lockdown. I'm a student pharmacist and saw that I could get the course at a discount. I did it pretty solidly for around a month, but then just kind of stopped learning.  I stopped for a little under 2 years, then picked it up again around a week ago. I started again because maybe around a month ago, I had a couple of customers come into a pharmacy I was working at who were deaf, and to communicate with them I was writing on a piece of paper and

      Hi, I decided to learn a new language when I retired and reckon that BSL will be the most useful one to learn.

      Meniere's Disease

      By George Louise · Posted

      Hey all! After years of issues with my balance, sickness, ear 'fullness', tinnitus and increasing hearing loss, I finally have a diagnosis of Meniere's Disease. After a few days of shock/crying/coming to terms with it (it is quite advanced, progressive and incurable), I have returned to my usual default position of positivity. I studied BSL stage 1 about 25 years ago and have been saying forEVER that I really wanted to refresh this and further my knowledge, and it's like nature gave me a helping
