Why am I learning BSL?

HelloĀ šŸ‘‹

Just wanted to drop a quick message on here about why I am learning BSL. There are a few reasons, so bear with me.

Firstly, I have always been fascinated with languages. I spent some time growing up in Germany and Holland and learning languages is something I really like. I wish I was more focussed, though, as my learning tends to be broad rather than deep (not ideal for languages). What amazes me, too, is that there are tenĀ indigenous languages in the British Isles, of which BSL is one. Being able to communicate with anyone and everyone who I liveĀ alongside is the dream.

Secondly, my mumĀ and sister are both level 2 certified. Being able to understand the signs they through at me randomly, or understanding what they are talking about between them, would be a big help!

      I am 85, in sheltered accommodation, and suffering from Giant cell arteritis which has damaged my auditory nerve,,and may make me completely deaf. I am therefore learning BSL and teaching all the carers who visit me basic signing,,and at least BSL alphabet. Ā Going well, but I needed to see other people signing well so that I can teach others. I enjoyed playing the game. Very helpful.

      Hello all, I'm a newbie to BSL, and looking forward to learning a new language.Ā  I learned Makaton and was a teacher for children with SEN/D for a number of years. My grandmother taught me how to fingerspell when I was quite young- and its great to revise the skill. Brenna

      Why I am learning

      By Alison2402 · Posted

      I am a student nurse and I feel I should know more than just spoken and written English. I would like to be able to communicate better with any patients I have in the future who use BSL themselves. My children get taught some signing at school so I should also be learning so I can help them learn further.

      Hello all, Ā  I am student nurse and I think that having some knowledge of BSL is important incase some of my patients use it themselves. It will help me build a better relationship with them I feel.
