Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm doing level 1 now, started January 2018 and about to do 102.  I'm deaf (profound now) and teaching hubby after class each week and it's helped a lot already when I'm not wearing my hearing aids.  I'm around during the day and as hubby works shifts lots of evenings and would be happy to video practice, Skype? :D

Hi, I'm in a similar situation to you. I'm losing my hearing, I'm down to moderate overall with areas on the borderline to severe. I did level 1 ten years ago so I'm very rusty but I'm revising and trying to learn more before my hearing gets any worse. If you don't mind being patient with me while I catch up I'd be happy to practise with you :)

That's great Amy, 

I'd be happy to Skype chat or in a room here? My husband is a shift worker so I'll try to arrange when he's at work and I can use his laptop.  It will be good for me to.go back to the beginning again ands I'm findingredients I've forgotten some signs from the early days.  I have my final exam in 3 weeks sof keen to practice.  I'm in SE England, Kent so use that regional BSL.  Let me know what days and send times are good for you.

I work part time as a support worker for vulnerable people with learning disabilities where I have to know Makaton in order to communicate better which got me interested in learning BSL. As I'm studying to be a translator I would love to be able to interpret BSL! Additionally, I think BSL should be mandatory part o

    • I recently had a health scare due to some hearing loss, which even medical professionals are unsure why I have. I decided after this that I would learn BSL (something I have wanted to do for years but never got round to doing) because of this, but also because everyone has a right to be 'heard'. I find it disappointing that schools do not teach BSL, as there are many people who use it as their only language, and it is disheartening to know that not everyone can understand them. I am unsure how b
    • Hello    I am learning British Sign Language as i work in child care.  I am also hard of hearing myself.  I wear a hearing aid in my right ear due to a mastoid when younger.  I also have recently started to wear a hearing aid in my Left ear as my hearing has deteriorated, so in the future i may even need to know BSL.  i feel BSL should be taught in schools as it is a language in itself and there are lots of people that are hard or hearing or deaf.  I feel like they would be includ
