I've been playing with my m8 for a couple of years now and only know a few sign words, so this year have decided to make more of an effort as he needs to play more to improve his handicap and hopefully go abroad to represent England (if he gets low enough). Therefore, we'll need to communicate more and I need to learn to speak to him properly not just with simple word statements like "tree", "good" and the usual one "shit" :).

I'm only a couple of days in but really enjoying it. I'm lucky enough to have someone to practice it on too otherwise I'd never remember what I learn as 2nd languages to me were always a struggle without practical experience.

Lets hope this old dog can learn a new trick!

      Why BSL?

      By Amelie Faye · Posted

      I am doing my Duke of Edinburgh certification at the moment and need to learn a new skill for it. I chose to learn sign language because it's something I've never learnt before and I love languages, I think any language is an amazing skill to have.

      HI Atanaa, zoom would be fine. I just need to use it as much as I can so I don't lose the skill.

      Hello

      Hello everyone,  Many years ago I spent time working with a deaf person, when he moved on to better things I promised him that I would learn sign language.  Here I am finally fulfilling my promise.

      Hello

      By David Pont · Posted

      Hello Everyone, my name is David and I have recently started the BSL course online. I have progressive hearing loss and at present wear hearing aids in both my ears, my early life was in the Royal Artillery and I also play the saxophone (no surprises why I'm losing my hearing!). As I have been informed that I will continue to lose my ability to hear I thought I best start learning BSL now. My daughter is learning with me, so hopefully we'll be able to help each other along and practice what we l

      Introduce Yourself

      By Vicky L · Posted

      Hi I am Vicky.  I decided to do the introduction to sign language course mainly as learning a new skill that may be useful in the future. However I also work in education as a teacher so it may be useful if I ever work with students with hearing impairments.
