Hey there!

 

Newbie to this forum but jumping back into BSL again. I started learning a little at a young age as it was, at the time, the way my younger brother communicated as he was very quiet and shy with words. Growing up, I gave it up but it remains my biggest regret. I think it's amazing and so beneficial to use from day-to-day. I'm currently a shop assistant so I meet all kinds of people daily and on occasions, those Deaf or hard of hearing. It pains me that I am not able to communicate with them as best as I could but here I am, back learning so I can communicate with every one that comes in. 

 

Hope to meet people, make friends and get some tips and thoughts.

 

Annie

      Why I'm Learning BSL

      By Ellie3 · Posted

      I'm learning BSL so I can communicate with my friend and others. It's outrageous that we were never taught this at school so that we can communicate with D/deaf people. I hope to surprise my friend next time I see them. I'm a little worried that I don't pick things up fairly quickly but hopefully I can start to have a conversation with them when I next see them.

      Hi!

      Hi I'm Ellie, I've just started learning sign language so I can communicate with a friend. I'm quite nervous that it will take me a while to pick things up but I'm ashamed we never learnt BSL in school and that I couldn't just communicate with my friend naturally.

      Learning

      I'm learning BSL because I have hearing loss and tinnitus due to meneieres disease and my hearing getting worse.  I originally took a level 1 course 25+ years ago as I had a friend who was profoundly deaf and a BSL teacher. Unfortunately we lost touch, but now I'm learning again

      Why I'm learning BSL.

      By RowanM · Posted

      I'm autistic and, though I generally have little issue using spoken languages, I find myself looking for an alternative that might feel more comfortable and be more accessible to me during verbal shutdowns. Furthermore, BSL will allow me to connect with more people in the disabled community and other communities I am a part of, which I really value.
