Good afternoon everyone,

I'm learning BSL in the hope I can one day use it to communicate with d/Deaf people, people with limited hearing and anyone else who uses BSL.

It's also for days I find talking difficult, since I'm also autistic and selective mutism (not a very helpful name if you don't choose it, personally) is a thing. That still requires other people to understand what I'm signing though, so it's definitely more of an ideal than a real motivation.

Finally, I'd like to be able to sign at work. I don't plan to become an interpreter and I'm not involved in patient care. It just seems like a good skill to have. I don't understand why BSL isn't taught in schools, honestly.

It's nice to meet you!

      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.

      By Lead Academy · Posted

      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

      By WillowM · Posted

      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

      I have always loved languages and it has always been on my list to start learning BSL. My daughter is in reception at school and has started learning a bit of sign language and has shown a great interest in it. I've therefore started learning so that I can teach her and we can learn together
