Hi, I have just started to learn BSL. I was scouring the internet to see if there were any groups available to people to enable practice. I do not know of anyone that signs and so feel that without visual practice and 'trying' to hold a conversation, it will be a skill that I will easily forget. I'm definitely interested in being part of a visual group, however I am very knew to this - so not sure how much I will be able to contribute, but even seeing others communicate will improve my skills.

      Hello

      By Freya19 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I'm freya and I started learning BSL about a month ago. I've always thought that sign language was an important skill to learn. In schools, children are taught French, German and Spanish. These are useful subjects, but I never understood why sign wasn't taught. My reasoning for this was because most people in my class may never travel or meet someone who speaks one of those languages. And that the probability of meeting a person who was Deaf/hard of hearing was much more likely

      Career change and new skills and experiences

      By Priyã-Louan · Posted

      I'm turning 40yrs old this year and I have decided to change my career to train as a children's social worker. I am volunteering with Home Start to help and support families that need general support day to day, and I am learning new skills to support this. I felt that learning BSL would be a great additional skill to have and hope that it may open up new doors in being able to support people, and hopefully also provide me with some new experiences to learn from. I also suffer with t

      Keep at it, Annie! Same as Stevel said; perseverance is the key People are all different, and also have different ways of learning, don't let it put you off! I am also a slow learner and do better at retaining information if I use it, so I may pick something up in a lesson but then it's gone by the time the assessment comes along, if I haven't continued to use it in between! Give yourself a break and go at your own pace, you will get there x

      Hello all :)

      My name is Priyã and I'm turning 40yrs old this year. I have decided to change my career and train as a social worker, volunteer in helping and supporting vulnerable families, and learn new skills to support this. I felt that learning BSL would be a great skill to have and open up new doors in being able to support people and hopefully provide me with some new experiences to learn from.  I also suffer with tinnitus and I have a fear that my hearing may well go at a later stage in life, and my fa

      Introduction

      Annie, Do not give up trying. I have just completed the course, I am 65 and my wife suffers with hearing loss and it is getting worse. Undertook this course to give us both a chance to learn new ways of communication. Just because others pick it up quicker does not mean that you will not succeed in learning. As a nurse you must remember how hard it can be to teach someone new, and how well they eventually become.  Well this is just the same persevere and you will get there. All the best.
