Why ami learning BSL?

2020-05-21T16:20:58+0000

I decided to learn BSL as I would like to go into some form of social care when I am older and I believe it is important to be able to communicate both verbally and non-verbally.

  Hope I've done this right lol. I'm Saff and I've just started to learn BSL because I've always been interested but 'never had the time' and since lockdown has been forced upon us I saw it as a blessing in disguise to finally tick it off my list. It's going really well so far and I haven't lost motivation but I am only the fourth lesson in, however I think I'll be alright because this course has been so easy to follow. If anybody has any tips or anything to help remember signs or just some advice

  Hi, my name is Molly! I started to learn BSL when I was in year 5&6. I never carried this on going into high school, however have decided to pick it back up at the age of 21. I think it's such a great way of communicating and should be taught in schools all around the country. I didn't think I'd be able to remember much but a lot of it has come flooding back. I could really use some help practicing with people, if anyone would like to connect?

  Hello, I have decided to give it a go as I love languages. I do not personally know anyone that uses BSL, but having found myself with a lot of extra time during this pandemic, I thought that this could be a good opportunity to expand my horizon and learn something new. Also, I suffer from laryngitis and last year I had really bad episode of Laryngitis and was unable to speak for several weeks; now I wished I had learnt how to sign then as it would have really helped me communicating

  Hello, my name is Neda and I'm an events manager from London (but originally from Italy). I have recently started the BSL Introductory course after seeing something about it on LinkedIn. Being on furlough and with lots of time in my hands at the moment, I thought it would be a great opportunity to lear a new language and exercise my brain. I don't know anyone that uses BSL, so I'd be up for some practise on zoom or so once I finish the course! <h3 class='ipsType_reset ipsWidget_title'>Fingerspelling Scoreboard</h3> <div class='ipsWidget_inner ipsPad'> <p class='ipsType_reset ipsType_medium ipsType_light'><p style="text-align:center; margin:0px; margin-bottom:5px; color:#000; font-weight:bold; text-transform:uppercase; ">(top 10 - past 24hrs)</p><div id="slfscores" style="width:100%"></div> <script language="javascript"> function reloadscores(){ $('#slfscores').load('/fschallenge/scores10.html??'+Math.floor(Math.random() * 10001)); } setInterval(function(){reloadscores();}, 15000); reloadscores(); </script></p> </div></li> <li class='ipsWidget ipsWidget_vertical ipsBox ' data-blockID='plugin_6_sodPhpWidget_rjffs6yip' data-blockConfig="true" data-blockTitle="PHP Code" data-blockErrorMessage="This block cannot be shown.
