Hey guys I'm Flic and I am 18 years old. I am hoping to study medicine at university soon and think it is so important to integrate more BSL into healthcare to insure it is entirely accesible to everyone and inclusive! I have only been learning for a couple weeks so am new to it all! but loving every moment so far. I would love to find someone to practice with who has alot of patience!

HI Flic.  Its great to read this. I wish you all the best with your BSL adventure.  I am  so confused as to why when i am in hospital , The Royal National Nose Ears and Throat Hospital, for procedures on my ear, that  it is impossible to communicate with the doctor or any of the nurses because i am deaf with out my hearing aids,  and not one of them can use BSL  and i have been going there for many years!  Its great to see the younger generation taking part in correcting this.  Thank you.  Take care. Delia

    • Hello everyone  My name is Tara, I am a registered nurse I have recently started a BSL course and I am hoping to start my level one in a few months I am glad to have found this website and hope I can find it helpful on my BSL journey 
    • I'm a student and I hope that taking BSL could help me communicate with clients in my future jobs as well as other Deaf people. It's also interesting to me to learn how BSL is similar or different to languages I am already familiar with. Also, I just think it looks cool!
    • I have been partially deaf since birth and learned some sign as a child but not enough to get by as an adult. I am very likely to lose my hearing entirely within the next few years and i already really struggle to communicate whenever there is any background noise. I am hoping using sign will take away some of the stress of trying to communicate in those situations. My husband is also going to learn.
    • My name is Pia, I am 36 from Scotland. I have been profoundly deaf in my left ear since birth and have partial (deteriorating slowly) hearing in my right ear. I was brought up in the hearing world and speak English as my primary language. I did some sign language lessons when i was in school so I'm not a total stranger to sign but i also haven't had any signing practice since then!
    • Hi, I'm mothcat. I've wanted to learn BSL for a long time, and have been considering it more seriously for the past year. I finally decided to do a course! When I worked in a coffeeshop, one customer came in who signed their order. I couldn't understand what they were saying vocally, and I knew no sign language, so they ended up having to write down their order. It felt really wrong and horrible at the time, and now I know that the word for it is audism. Since then, I've started a job where
