Hello! My name is Jess and I have always wanted to learn BSL. I was taught the alphabet and how to say my name when I was at primary school and have remembered it to this very day! The lockdown gave me the push to find this course and finally start learning. I’m a little late posting this as I am now on my last lesson but I wanted to put some of what I’ve learnt into practice as it’s hard to do sentences when you have no one around you who understands BSL.

I am a professional dancer and also a dance teacher and I think this is a wonderful thing to learn because you never know when you may meet someone who relies on BSL to communicate and it opens up the communication between hearing and non hearing.

I’ve attached a little video of myself practicing introducing myself. I hope everyone is enjoying their course also.

      If a child grows in the forest, do they make a sign?

      By Tommy_T · Posted

      Hello I'm Tom, I work at a forest school, supporting SEND children. I find it very rewarding and have seen amazing progress from many. I'd like our school to accommodate Deaf, deaf and hearing impaired children, whom I feel would benefit every bit as much as any other. I am studying at Lincoln College for my lvl 1.

      Hello! My name is Anne. I am an Assistant Teacher and through this job I have an opportunity to assist students with various abilities.

      Hi everyone, I am excited to be learning sign language, it’s been something I have wanted to do for a long time, since my friend at school taught some small signs so we could play and get along. I have always tried to be a good communicator and recently have started my own business teaching children all about earth science using micro drones, I want to make sure the workshops I deliver are as inclusive as possible, and that I can connect and communicate with everyone.  I look forward to lea

      Hiya I’m Tamsin, I’m autistic and I started learning BSL to better communicate with deaf people and neurodivergent people who rely on sign supported English, and to use myself to be able to communicate in situations where I’m too anxious/overstimulated to speak.

      Hello! Are there any online groups (ideally in the evening) where learners could practice signing?

      Why am I learning BSL?

      By Jules F · Posted

      I am have just finished the introduction to BSL course on this site. I found it very useful and with a group of others, who I did either or both a Lipreading/ a different 10 weeks introduction to BSl face to face courses, we are practising the lessons together at a weekly meet up. We are currently focusing on lesson 3 and also recapping the others. We are having fun learning together and building our confidence.

      Why am I learning BSL?

      By Jules F · Posted

      Hi  My partner, Ken,  and I, Jules, initially did a Lipreading course and then started learning BSL with ‘Amy of Smartsigns BSL’ in an introduction to 10 session course earlier this year. My partner’s hearing was gradually getting worse and he was feeling more and more isolated in social situations, so it seemed a good idea. More recently we decided, along with some of those on the Lipreading/ BSL Smartsigns courses, to do the course offered by this site and practice together so we would im
