Hi everyone, 

My name is Fran. I've made learning BSL my 2022 New Years Resolution. 

I've not really met anyone learning/needing to use BSL to communicate, so it's really been a solo effort to try and learn something new!

I hope that one day, with a bit more confidence I might be able to organise the occasional BSL weekend coffee morning in North-West London area, where new learners (like me) and more experienced people might be able to get together and help each other develop their BSL skills as well as work towards making awareness of BSL in the community.. and maybe even make some friends!! But I've got a few more lessons to learn first!

I'm absolutely loving it so far! After I finish a lesson I go to my parents/boyfriend saying: ... give me a colour/city/country/job!!! and then proceed to sign what they say. In less than two weeks I feel like I've learnt so much :D

      Why I am Learning BSL

      By Eziro · Posted

      Hi, I am learning BSL for the skills section of my bronze Duke of Edinburgh award with school. My cousin is deaf and it will be a great skill to learn so I can communicate with him. I would like a future career as an interpreter, helping people with their hospital appointments.

      I once witnessed a situation in a clinic where a deaf-mute man was trying to explain what was hurting him, but the staff simply did not understand him. It was awkward and offensive to watch a person in a stressful situation left without help just because there was no necessary communication channel. Since then, I have become more interested in how medical support for people with hearing impairments is organized. It turned out that there are websites and services, such as FMRQ customer service ,
