I have been a primary school teacher for 18yrs and SENDCO across 6 schools for the last 5. It is time for a change. My family farm has a petting zoo, maize maze and cafe, we are building an education centre, from which I’ll be delivering forest schools, home Ed club and educational visits. We aim to be welcoming to all and I felt being able to read and sign basic BSL was a good step in achieving this.

      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

      Hello Everyone, my name is David and I have recently started the BSL course online.

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.

      Why BSL?

      By AimeeCas · Posted

      I have started this course to help learn the basic signs and conversation gestures, expressions and cues to help me with a future venture in teaching BSL. I currently teach in a primary school and have a sign teacher that comes in each week to teach my class. It has always been something I have been passionate/interested in and I have decided to just go for it to help me daily with my 2 little boys and also to use in my classroom.

      Hello everybody,  I am Aimee, 32, from Lancashire. I am currently on Maternity leave with my 11 week old little boy and have started this course as it is something I have always been interested in and am looking for a new adventure alongside my normal teaching job of teaching BSL. I am very excited to start this journey :)

      Hi, I'm chey. I'm looking for a study buddy with a fair amount of knowledge of BSL. I passed the introduction course here during covid, and I'm doing my level 1 (I think) at university.  I hope to hear some someone soon xx.
