Why I am learning BSL


Recommended Posts

I have recently become an ECA and whilst sat by a river on standby with my friend one day he told me he had signed up for a BSL course. I thought you know what that sounds like a good idea I will do the same. So I did. A week later my friend died unexpectedly and it was the worst time in my life. I miss him so much but I thought I would still do this course anyway, we were going to use it to sign to each other during cardiac arrests as we have to wear Level 3 PPE at the moment which makes it very hard for us to hear each other. I would like to thank my friend for motivating me to become better, without him I wouldn't have even signed up to this course. He is probably jealous that I am getting to learn all of this! Love ya mate x

    • I would also really love a bsl buddy I’ve just started learning sign language for DofE but also for fun so i would love a friend to practice with!!
    • Hello, I am learning BSL because I’ve been intrigued by it for a few years and have enjoyed teaching my toddler some simple signs for better communication over the last year.
    • Hi, I am currently a student that is trying to become a Physical Education teacher. My reason for learning sign language is because I have had students that are D/deaf and I would love to communicate better with them without the use of external help. Also I have some family members that are losing their hearing or lost it so I would also still love to communicate with them as well. I have only just started but very excited to learn and develop my knowledge further  
    • Hello, my name is Charlotte and I live in Kent. I am learning BSL because it’s been an interest of mine for a few years now.
    • Hi there,   The reason I have decided to learn BSL is that I want to work in healthcare and with the cochlear implant, and therefore want to make sure I can use it and make my patients comfortable. 
    • Hi, I support children in school who have an hearing impairment. Love my job. I have my Level 1 and 2 of BSL and doing my Level 3 (which is hard). I am on here to practice and improve, and of course to meet all of you who are interested. 
    • I'm involved in HE, both student and tutor, although very matured 😶‍🌫️. My reasons for starting to learn BSL are mainly two. First, I have a colleague who is very proficient and she has been helpful to several people in her use of BSL, I would like to be able to help too. Also, it enhances me in working with people. I have only just begun, but sometime soon  it'd be good to practice. I shall come back and check if anyone else wants to practice when I've progressed further.
