Why am I learning BSL?

Hello 👋

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 ten indigenous languages in the British Isles, of which BSL is one. Being able to communicate with anyone and everyone who I live alongside is the dream.

Secondly, my mum 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!

      Hello, my name is Clare and I work for Marie Curie where a number of us are learning BSL. I already knew a very small bit of BSL from a Deaf friend I went to school with but I am excited to be learning more

      Hello! My name is Ekito

      Hello, everyone! I started doing the level 1 course from British-sign, so far I'm having a lot of fun doing it! However, reinforced learning takes one topic already interesting & makes it a lot better, learning on your own is comfortable, sometimes slow, and can burn you out quickly, but working together helps a ton! I hope we can work together to achieve what we all want to do! ^^ My name is Ekito and I can hear, I am 18 and plan to learn more BSL after I finish this Level 1 course, the course at my own college is very expensive and they won't help me pay for it unfortunately, but I have alternatives to achieve what I want in life :)   Sorry I didn't record myself signing, I feel that I need to improve my fingerspelling & signing before showing myself haha, I also looked like I just woke up XD
