Hi there! My name is Sarah and I have just moved back to the UK after 25 years living in the USA. I am a behaviour specialist and I frequently work with children with autism who have speech and language difficulties. I learned American Sign Language while in the USA to help communicate with the children I work with, and my daughter bought me the BSL course when I knew I was coming home. It's so interesting to compare the two and once I have completed this course, I'd love to sign up for a Makaton class as well! Lockdown is the perfect time to learn new things while job hunting!

      Hi my name is Gill and I've just completed lesson 3.  I started learning BSL a number of years ago and went to a Deaf Club in Chorley, Lancashire.  But sadly had to let it go when we moved.  Looking forward to learning again x

      Hi everyone

      Hi, I have joined BSL as I am retiring very soon from Special needs teaching. I have used Makaton signing in my classroom for many years but would like to be able to sign to more people. I also think it will be good for stimulating my brain and I have already become very competitive with myself playing the spelling game!!

      Ive just started to learn how to use BSL and I managed to use fingerspelling to get a message to someone when I wasn't able to speak to them. I am so Glad I started this course I think that it will really help me with my career path in the future.

      Why I am learning BSL?

      By Leunga · Posted

      Hi to all BSL learners, I have decided to learn BSL because as part of my role in healthcare I communicate with a variety of patients and think it will be a good skill to have.  Also my mother and mother-in-law is starting to have problem with their hearing... And I would like to have this skill to help them if they need to learn BSL in the future.

      Why am I learning BSL?

      By Julia Beagley · Posted

      My name is Julia. I am learning BSL because I am losing my hearing.  I have no hearing in my left ear now due to an acoustic neuroma and I have inherited otosclerosis from my mother's side of the family and I now have very little hearing in my right ear.  I also attend a lipreading class. I did start to learn BSL a few years ago but did not persevere! I am restarting my journey with it and must make sure that I practice, practice, practice!!
