Hi Everyone :)

My name is Helen, I'm 26 and reside in a town called Newtownards in Northern Ireland! (Please comment if you live close by! :-) ) 

I am a qualified classroom assistant in a secondary school supporting a pupil with physical impairment and epilepsy. Because my job has been put on hold because of the current situation, I decided I wanted to learn something new and found the BSL website. I am currently on Module 6 of Likes/Dislikes and have absolutely loved the course so far. I find I am picking up the signs extremely quickly and would now love to go further in this particular field.

If anyone ever wants to practice with me or as said above, if you live in Northern Ireland too please send a reply :)

Hope everyone is keeping well!

      Hello everyone. I am incredibly new to BSL (I've had one class at introductory level so far but I intend to pursue). I am 48 and I am experiencing some hearing loss but really I want to learn to sign to give myself more communication options and to be able to communicate with as many people as I can.

      British Sign Language - Introducing myself

      By melissacussons · Posted

      Hello everyone, For my introduction to British Sign Language training, I am to post here my reasons to why I am dedicated to learn BSL. My previous role was a teaching and learning assistant at a secondary school and my current role is an art instructor in a day service for adults with learning difficulties. I also volunteer with the NHS doing art sessions with long term patients. After my BA Fine Art course at the Open University, I wish to apply for a masters MSc in Art Therapy. I fe

      BSL course query

      By lizziedoll · Posted

      Hello! I am very new here and I would like recommendations of online BSL courses where I can learn online in the evening. Cost isn’t an issue but it needs to be money well spent.  For context, am a lifelong hearing aid wearer with no BSL knowledge apart from finger spelling the alphabet… slowly.    Thanks in advance.

      Hi there  Name we what - Michelle...I have a hearing loss and wear cross aids. Hearing is tricky in many situations such as shops, restaurants and busy places. I am learning BSL with my adult daughter, so that we can sign together when hearing is tough. It will definitely help in fitness classes where, with the air conditioning and music I can barely hear instructions.  We are looking to connect with others to help me learn and embed signs. Please do connect with us.  Mrs Mi :)

      Hi everyone.

      Name me what Lewis - I've just started and I'm loving it - such a beautiful language. I decided to learn BSL for no other reason than I liked the thought of it, plus it's a language spoken in our country, so seems strange to not know it. I am also starting to go deaf in one ear, so maybe there's some pre-emptive learning happening too in case I lose my hearing completely. Nice to be here.
