Hi,

My name is Julie and I have always wanted to learn BSL but never seemed to have the time before. As a shielding person in this current crisis, I now have lots of time

I am partially deaf and wear a hearing aid and grew up in a hearing community, relying heavily on lip reading. 

I work in the NHS and have always relied on interpreters when seeing people who are Deaf. I can communicate to a small extent, using Makaton, with children who are Deaf or hearing impaired and I would love to be able to communicate directly using some BSL, even at a basic level.

Really enjoying the course so far, and remembering more than I thought I would.

As I progress it would be lovely to be able to practice what I learn

      Introducing Myself

      By gerta23 · Posted

      Hey, I just wanted to share my experience with you all. I found this site through a colleague who mentioned it at work. The aviator bet game intrigued me because it seemed like a fun, no-pressure game. I’ve had a blast playing it and, to my surprise, ended up with a decent win. It’s definitely a great way to relax and unwind. So far, I’m very satisfied with the experience.

      By Lead Academy · Posted

      You're learning BSL because you want to communicate better—maybe with a Deaf friend, for work, or just to be more inclusive. That's awesome!

      Hello

      By WillowM · Posted

      Hello, I started to learn BSL a long time ago but stopped due to the cost involved. There are so many more resources available these days so I'm excited to be picking it back up again. WillowM
