My BSL Story

Hey Everyone,

I'm excited to be writing my wee story for you all!

I have started learning BSL after being introduced to the deaf community through my new job. I work for a company who provides VRS and VRI services.

So far learning BSL has given me a broader insight into all aspects of BSL and has really benefitted me, in particular learning to acknowledge my deaf colleagues and how they like to communicate with those in the hearing community. I hope that after I complete the BSL course I will be able to use BSL well and have more connecting communications with my colleagues and others in the deaf community. 

I look forward to reading all your introductions on SLF!

Thanks 

SharonDavie

      Thank you for sharing this, I happen to work in early years and currently sign using what I have learnt so far in BSL or  Makaton. I can't wait to have a look at this site as I do work with a Deaf baby. ☺️💜

      Hi everyone,  First timer who has just started to lean BSL. Look forward to using it proficiently to speak to people all over London, although I am a slow learner when it comes to language.  I started as I work in the law enforcement in London, and have found that our translators (on the phone) can help a lot with other spoken languages, but we struggle to communicate with the deaf. I'd like to change that and learn the language to be able to speak to people from those communities. With London being so diverse, I'd like to take a small step in making communication easier.

      Hi All, I'm learning BSL as I am deaf and I need to learn to more easily communicate. I'm doing this alongside my uni studies, which have at times taken precedence. Amy

      Use both hand flat hand shape upright facing your body. Move your fingers back and forth. Like you would if you were welcoming someobe. Hope this makes sense

      I am a retired Scottish Student. Just started BSL2 and would like to practice online particularly with someone in Scotland - this minimises the geographical variations in the Language. I sign with my left hand which is not a problem unless I am using it to eat a YORKIE! bar at the same time!!. I am not Deaf and have speech and have been involved with the Deaf Community for the last couple of years as a volunteer.
