Hi everyone! 

My name is Alisha and I am 21 years old! I am a complete newbie to sign language! I started it as I work in a coffee shop and we have a number of regular deaf customers so I wanted to be able to communicate with them! I love learning all different languages and am currently studying French, German, Spanish and Italian at Newcastle University.Does anyone have any tips on how best o practise sign langauge?

Thank you for your help everyone!

The British Sign introduction online course is brilliant!! Such a great place to start and so clear to follow. I've only been using it for a couple of days but really enjoying it, best of luck!

      Hello Everyone!  I have always wanted to learn to sign as I am hard of hearing and have spent many years missing conversations and learning to read lips.  I now work in a shop and we have several BSL users coming in and I so want to be able to sign with them!    Looking forward to learning to sign with people :-)

      Why I'm learning BSL

      By [email protected] · Posted

      As I work at a company that create material for children, I wish by learning more about BSL I would be able to understand better how to support children with special needs or create resources that support them, especially when I used to work at a childcare centre where most TA would struggle with children with autism; through sign language, it allows them to communicate better and I can be part of the change that make it easier for anyone that would appreciate the assistance.

      Hi I've started the British-sign online course. My daughter has a hearing loss but opts to be unaided.   She manages so far in life to communicate & learn well and relies on close distance hearing and of lip patterns. Now that social distancing  & masks are being worn she has 2 new additional barriers to learning & communication.  So I want to learn BSL to help her. I'm not confident or fluent yet but I've passed on a few signs I've learnt so far. Our aim is to reach a good level of

      Hi I'm Kezia, I have always wanted to learn BSL but have struggled with learning other languages. I decided to finally give it a go and am really enjoying it so far.  Now that we all have to wear masks due to Covid I feel that it is more important than ever to learn.
