Why am I learning BSL?

I am learning BSL because as a person who works with disabled people on a day to day basis, I feel that there is a need for a more accessible society. Living in a small country, there are not many Deaf/ Hard of hearing people, so the facilities here are limited. There are few interpreters, they usually need to be flown in, there is nearly no funding in the offering of BSL courses, hence why I've resorted to taking manners into my own hands and doing this online. Hopefully, through learning some BSL I'll be able to make one small step into making my small country slightly more accessible.

      Introducing Myself

      By gerta23 · Posted

      Hey, I just wanted to share my experience with you all. I found this site through a colleague who mentioned it at work. The aviator bet game intrigued me because it seemed like a fun, no-pressure game. I’ve had a blast playing it and, to my surprise, ended up with a decent win. It’s definitely a great way to relax and unwind. So far, I’m very satisfied with the experience.

      You're learning BSL because you want to communicate better—maybe with a Deaf friend, for work, or just to be more inclusive. That's awesome!

      Hello

      Hello, I started to learn BSL a long time ago but stopped due to the cost involved. There are so many more resources available these days so I'm excited to be picking it back up again. WillowM
