Hi 

My name is Lesley.  I've just started to learn sign language because I wanted to learn a new skill.   I had the idea to start learning last year and didn't pursue it at the time.  Since seeing Rose on Strictly Come Dancing last year,  I was totally inspired and decided to take the plunge to learn BSL.  I am hoping that completing this course may lead me onto to studying further to obtain an accreditation.     I'm really enjoying learning BSL,  I just need to make sure I get plenty of practice.   Any tips on how people practice would be welcome.   I'm hoping that as I start to learn more I can start practising with my friends and try as much as possible to introduce it into my daily life, so that it becomes second nature, and my confidence will grow. 

Happy signing

Lesley

      Why am I learning BSL?

      By Dicky G · Posted

      Having an awareness of sign language is so important. Being able to communicate with others and be inclusive is part of what makes us the sociable species we are. Making BSL available to more people and even at school from an early age would help everyone communicate more easily. I'm also learning to keep my mind active and to help with some volunteering I do.

      Hi, I have wanted to learn BSL for a long time, but have only recently got around to it. I am a rugby player going into cardiac physiology and want to be able to communicate with any patients whose preferred communication method is BSL. Feel free to reach out, as I would love to communicate with others who know BSL.

      Hi my name is Sara I have always been keen to learn BSL, having done small amounts in the past at school/youth groups, but have taken the decision to teach myself now as a hobby mainly but also as a result of starting to suffer from hearing loss at 46. I work at a University and feel it may be a good tool and skill to potentially help any students needing support being a bonus.

      Why I enrolled

      By Brigitte1972 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have enrolled in this course, due to having a voice condition called Spasmodic dysphonia  making communication extremely difficult on day to day basis . Over the last few years I have been doing a counselling course and feel for me to continue with this I need to have another form of communication.
