I tasked my children (11 and 10) during lockdown to learn a sign every day for 2 weeks, and found these resources through work. I am usually not great at languages, but this one being actions seems to click easier. I have lost my hearing in one ear gradually since childhood through surgery and have come to realise how much I rely on lip reading and positioning within a group environment. Being able to communicate with people is a gift - learning this language extends that pool of people, so I am really happy to learn it. Looking forward to learning with you all!

  I am learning BSL to support one of the chidren who attends my nursery. He is nearly 2 and has profound hearing loss, he will possibly have a cochlea implant but will likely need to use signs too.

  It's just always fascinated me and I want to give it a go. Maybe I'll be able to support/help a deaf person one day.

  Hey, may I ask what apps you have been using please and which one you find the most helpful. I'm new to sign language myself and would love to get an app to help out
