Hi All,  I have always been fascinated by Sign Language and would love to help people in the future, I am stuck at home after having half my leg amputated, so thought that this time would give me the opportunity to start learning BSL from home.  I am using the 2 minute finger spelling challenge and brought British Sign Language Book by Paul Redfern and Deafworks and Let's Sign Dictionary 2nd Edition by Cath Smith.  These books are really useful.

      for communication with others

      By cassandrac.016 · Posted

      I'm a student and I hope that taking BSL could help me communicate with clients in my future jobs as well as other Deaf people. It's also interesting to me to learn how BSL is similar or different to languages I am already familiar with. Also, I just think it looks cool!

      why i am learning sign

      By PiaOlefa · Posted

      I have been partially deaf since birth and learned some sign as a child but not enough to get by as an adult. I am very likely to lose my hearing entirely within the next few years and i already really struggle to communicate whenever there is any background noise. I am hoping using sign will take away some of the stress of trying to communicate in those situations. My husband is also going to learn.

      My name is Pia, I am 36 from Scotland. I have been profoundly deaf in my left ear since birth and have partial (deteriorating slowly) hearing in my right ear. I was brought up in the hearing world and speak English as my primary language. I did some sign language lessons when i was in school so I'm not a total stranger to sign but i also haven't had any signing practice since then!

      Hi, I'm mothcat. I've wanted to learn BSL for a long time, and have been considering it more seriously for the past year. I finally decided to do a course! When I worked in a coffeeshop, one customer came in who signed their order. I couldn't understand what they were saying vocally, and I knew no sign language, so they ended up having to write down their order. It felt really wrong and horrible at the time, and now I know that the word for it is audism. Since then, I've started a job where
