I am learning BSL because way back when I was in primary school we had a couple of deaf kids in a lower year group. Although I went to the signing classes at break time it was my final year at primary so I never learnt much. 

My nephew has downs and uses makaton, which although not the same it still has some basis in BSL. 

I think all children should be taught BSL from a young age.

      Hi! (especially to any musicians or artists here...)

      Hi, I'm a musician and artist and learning BSL to improve my communication skills and start the process of developing performances/artwork/events that are suitable and interesting for both D/deaf and hearing audiences/artists. Learning BSL online seemed like a good place to start and a way to connect with people. I co-direct an experimental sound festival based in the Midlands and we would like to develop some new work with D/deaf and hearing artists to make multi-media performances/artworks.  I

      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.
