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

      Hello!

      By Julia VIta · Posted

      Hi! My name is Julia, and I live in London. I'm learning sign language because I love learning languages, and I also think that the more people that know sign language, the better! I am looking forward to being able to communicate and connect with more people. I've recorded this video and realised I forgot to do the lip pattern, so that's something I should definitely work on!

      Hi All, My name is Roger

      By rogerbutler · Posted

      I am a teacher that has decided to practice sign language with a group of students that do not wish to learn Spanish. I signed up to the BSL course so that I can give them basic lessons in communication in another language. The aim is too introduce them to a wider world and to get them to be more inclusive. I also get to learn a new language in the process. There is the added benefit that the children will be able to talk as much as they like in class without making a sound.

      Hi there! My name is Mabel :]

      Hello all, hope you're doing well!  I've always wanted to learn sign language, not just because I love learning new languages and as a visual / kinaesthetic learner I find the process of learning signs very enjoyable, but also because I want to be able to ensure that I can communicate with people who don't wish to / cannot speak with their voice. Everyone has a right to feel comfortable in conversation, and to be able to communicate with anyone they wish to, so I hope to contribute towards making that a reality. Hopes for the future aside, I am 16 (nearly 17) years old, and a student.  Wishing you all luck on your signing journeys!

      Hi I am Becci

      By BecciB · Posted

      Hello, I am Becci. I am 34 years old and am learning BSL as a way to help communicate with my daughter who has noonan syndrome. My daughter is hearing but her speech can be difficult to understand. She is only 7 years old but uses makaton which I have been using with her since she was a toddler. I am also looking into BSL as a potential career option or even just something to have on my cv.
