I am Bethan and I have only recently started learning BSL. I actually learnt the BSL alphabet from a poster in the toilet of a cocktail bar and have been inspired to learn ever since! I am a Civil Servant (Energy and Climate policy) and trained facilitator and I am excited to be able to draw this new skill into my work environment. Probably a little early but I am definitely keen in a few weeks to practice my signing with someone else.  Let me know if you are keen. 

If anyone knows the sign for civil servant it would be great to know!

Hi All, 

Sorry for delay in replying. Unfortunately had a few busy weeks and so have struggled to put time aside for the course. I could arrange a call next week, for anyone interested, to do some introductions and then set up some more regular practices in the new year? 

Let me know if interested. 

Bethan

      I once witnessed a situation in a clinic where a deaf-mute man was trying to explain what was hurting him, but the staff simply did not understand him. It was awkward and offensive to watch a person in a stressful situation left without help just because there was no necessary communication channel. Since then, I have become more interested in how medical support for people with hearing impairments is organized. It turned out that there are websites and services, such as FMRQ customer service ,

      hello my name is Claire, I have only just started BSL. i have always wanted to learn but only now realised you can do little bits online. if anyone has any tips for learning and practising that would be great. I'm also trying to get my family involved when it comes to learning. we had to learn little bits when my child was diagnosed with a speech disorder but it didn't go into as much depth as this , it was more for favourite toys and snacks and drink.

      I am a teacher working in London. I have wanted to learn BSL for years but have finally got around to starting an online course. There are a number of deaf students in my school and I feel like it is an excellent skill to have. So far I’m finding it a bit of a challenge but really fun! I’ve started following a few BSL Instagram influencers too and try and practice every day. Looking forward to learning more! Any recommendations very welcome!

      Why I'm learning BSL

      By Stu · Posted

      I work in a college supporting additional needs students, some of whom have hearing impairments or who are d(D)eaf. They come to lectures with interpreters, but  I want to be able to communicate directly with them more easily in future years.

      what's the sign for midwife

      By zarapierce · Posted

      The sign for midwife in BSL shows assisting birth (palms facing up, moving down from waist). If you want midwifery services, I'd recommend contacting practitioners directly to discuss their communication approach – many are wonderfully accommodating!
