Heya,

My names Alllanah and i have recently decided to take up learning BSL due to needing not only a different career path but life path.

I went to college for 3 years studying Art and Design but realized this isn't where i wanted to be in the real world as its very difficult to get into, extremely competitive.

 I work in retail and would really like to change my life around and have a purpose to get out of bed in the morning. To help someone during this short stay, we call life. My Auntie was the one to get my mum and myself into this as this is her job, the lady she helps is actually both deaf and blind. Meeting this lady made me realize how grateful i should be for what i have been lucky enough to be born with and so i am taking a massive leap, fingers crossed i don't get to distracted and good luck to everyone on here trying to do the same thing.

      Hi I'm Polly,  I learned very basic BSL when I was a childminder, and really enjoyed it. I currently work with the police and I am looking for a career change. The idea of becoming a BSL interpreter really appeals to me , but I am struggling to find the information I need. I understand the route to becoming an interpreter is long and costly and the accessibility for me in Lincolnshire is very limited. But any help anyone can give into how I can start my journey would be hugely appreciated.  Xx

      Hi, I'm Effie. I'm autistic. Sometimes, when I get particularly dysregulated, I find speech difficult. I'm also highly sensitive to noise and love the idea of being able to communicate silently. I've always been interested in signing, and finally decided to have a go at learning.

      Can we please get a left-handed fingerspelling test?

      By Drift · Posted

      This is a valid topic, I too am left handed and can't get above 21 on the speed test as those hands are not as I see my own hands!

      Hello! How did your first exam go?  I wasn't a member on here when you posted, but in Level 1 your exams aren't expected to be in sign order, my tutor didn't teach sign order until Level 2. I'm currently doing Level 2 and must sign in the correct bsl structure in my exams. Drift

      Hello, my name is Drift. I started to learn BSL as a hobby, resulting in falling in love with this beautiful language and progressing to level 2. Would love to practice signing more often.

      Why I am learning BSL

      By J Perridge · Posted

      Learning BSL has been something I had been interested in for some time, but like most ideas I didn't actually do anything to actually make this happen, until one day at work..... I work for the ambulance service, responding to those emergency 999 calls. Now this particular day was a dark early start and our first job or the day was a welfare check for a patient that wasn't responding to their lifeline call. The job came through stating that the patient was deaf, was give the keys safe details so we could gain entry to the property. The patient was alright, but they were only aware of our presence when we turned on his bedroom light. In al honesty I felt ashamed and disappointed with myself that the only way we could communicate was through typing messages on a mobile phone.   That is why I am learning BSL. I'm still very early on in my BSL journey but it has already come in useful.

      Hi, I work in theatre. Several shows are signed for the patrons. I thought it would be very useful to have the ability to be able to sign to make their experience in coming to the theatre more enjoyable.
