I'm Emma, I'm 27 living in London (and I love it here).

I work in social media as a content producer and art advisor. I hope to be a curator one day!

I love the arts, environmental sciences, animals, astronomy, horror, fashion, and makeup. And I love going for long walks! 

I am hard of hearing, with moderate-severe hearing loss in my right ear (the sound in my right ear is too quiet and muffled to understand anything, it's pretty much useless). I've just started using a hearing aid but still mostly depend on my left ear! 

I'm excited to be part of a wonderful community and get to know people, and to practice what I'm learning in BSL!

Hi Emma, what a great introduction. I’m sorry you have hearing loss, I’m sure using BSL will make a big difference to your life. Are you learning with a friend or family? 
 

I’m Dave from Oxford. I’m learning BSL to use with my work and generally in life. I work with the elderly and young in various capacities. Would love to practice with you if you were happy to do the same?

    • I work in research and want to learn BSL to enable more inclusivity within this field. I work with many different communities and find that the deaf community is too often overlooked. I want to address this and hopefully learn a lot myself and maybe gain some new friends.  
    • Hello, I am a Clinical Research Practitioner. I recruit people to research studies mostly in hospitals but will be moving out into the wider community..
    • Hello both.  I’m also happy to practise some BSL, as with anyone on the site. Feel free to send me a message!
    • Hi there. If you're still looking for a signing buddy, please send me a message as I'd be happy to help in practising some BSL.
    • that's interesting.
    • Hi guys. I'm new here too
    • Hello. I am learning sign language for my DofE award and am currently enjoying it. I am keen to learn it and personally think I am learning it quite well. There is  deaf community centre near me so after I have nailed BSL i intend on visiting and interpreting for my local park run as a volunteer
    • I am learning BSL because I want to feel more connected to the Deaf community. Even though I am deaf and use a cochlear implant, I grew up using spoken language, so I never fully learned sign language. Over time, I started to feel left out in Deaf spaces where people communicate through BSL. Learning BSL feels important to me not just for communication, but for belonging. I want to be able to express myself freely, understand others and be part of conversations without barriers. It is also important for my work, as I support people with different needs, and I want to provide more inclusive and accessible support in the future.
