Hi everyone I'm Martin and I've been trying to learn BSL for a couple of months now. Recently went through a bit of a tough time and someone suggested learning a new language. So I thought what a great idea but what should I learn? Then the penny dropped I currently work for a very large organisation and my position is Managerial. Not so long ago my company decided to employ some Deaf people. One of those Deaf people came to work in my area Christos who comes from Greece. So I wanted to be able to communicate with him better and to try and understand him better. Bingo since starting to learn BSL I have managed to be able to communicate with him a little bit better. Christos has also found this to be amazing that I have taken the time to try and speak with him. I have found the BSL course very good so far and I'm confident in most of the learning I do. The tricky bit for me is reading sign as sometimes Christos can be very quick with his sign language. I have started to learn some different signs that Christos has learned me but I'm sure there is a long way to go until I'm fluent in BSL.

      Hello!

      By Vicky97 · Posted

      Hi, I'm learning BSL at home as I think its important to be able to communicate with anyone I meet in my job in retail. I haven't had a chance to use any of my signs yet but am practising/revising them regularly so I don't forget! I really enjoyed watching the recent Channel 4 Paralympic coverage with BSL as it gave me a chance to practice watching a fast signer. Bye x

      I’m Shiona. I’m currently on my BSL learning journey for the second time. I started a few years ago but life and a baby happened and I stopped my learning.    I currently don’t have use for BSL in the sense that I don’t know or generally meet anyone in which I would need to use it, but I feel that should that time ever come it’s only right that I’m prepared. It something I wish would have been mandatory when I was back in school.    I’m always open to making new friends, a lot of m

      Hello, my name is Zonya and I have been learning BSL for a couple of months now.  I am not deaf but work at a doctors surgery where we have very few deaf/Deaf patients but find it sad that there are so few non deaf./Deaf people that know BSL. I feel this should be a compulsory lesson at least once per week in all schools. I hope everyone is well.

      Hi everyone, so I am Sarah and I am a support worker at a local further education college.  I support all kinds of learners with a range of difficulties and thought that it would be a great idea to widen my skills so as I could support in more areas.
