Hi, I'm Bex and I'm a paramedic from the West Midlands. I've wanted to learn sign language for years as I think it would be useful for my job.  I did some Makaton with my daughter when she was little and we really enjoyed that - in fact I still use it now if she's not paying attention during swimming lessons!!  I live just outside Stourbridge with my partner and our three kids.  We also have a dog, a cat and lots of chickens.  I've used lockdown as a chance to spend time developing new skills, including learning BSL, Spanish and how to ride a unicycle!

Hey Bex, same here! (not the riding the unicycle but haha) trying to learn BSL to flex the grey matter and help our patients. 

Good to see there's another para with the same mindset. How are you finding your learning so far?

      Hi, I'm Jason and I'm a student at uni : I'm learning BSL so I can communicate with and understand the deaf community more! I'm hoping to get a really good knowledge of BSL while I'm here.

      My interest came from BSL module in uni (student paramedic) and I wanted to build on my knowledge so that I would be able to communicate with patients in the future. I also love chatting to strangers and I want to be able to do that with people who sign to!!

      Hello and My Introduction

      By David Charles · Posted

      I work in commercial aviation as Senior Cabin Crew.   I wanted to learn Sign Language as we carry an increasing number of persons who identify as deaf, and I think it is an invaluable skill to have from a communication point of view. Although we have ASL and BSL capabilities via electronic QR codes on board, the ability to provide that personal and human interaction is equally important.

      Inclusivity

      By Joy Edwards · Posted

      I work in research and want to learn BSL to enable more inclusivity within this field. I work with many different communities and find that the deaf community is too often overlooked. I want to address this and hopefully learn a lot myself and maybe gain some new friends.
