Hi I have just started the beginners course after being interested in sign language for a long long time.  I even went to college 25 years ago and did a beginners course however my life took a different path and I did not continue.  I have now come back to it and I would love to become an interpreter or be involved somehow working with the deaf community. I think sign language should be taught in schools as part of the curriculum, no one should be or feel left out of a conversation.  Anyway has anyone started learning this later in life? I'm 46 now and I am remembering most of it however having a full on conversation with someone and understanding is a whole different ball game!

      Hi everyone!

      Hi there! I'm Laila and I've just started a beginners course in BSL. I work in a nursery as a senco and one to one currently but hoping to move on to a different job role in a special school or a school setting. I've been fascinated by BSL for years now and I've finally decided to take the leap and start a course so here we are! I am already level 1, 2, 3 and soon to be level 4 trained in makaton in the new year but ive always loved watching people use BSL and even though I'm not deaf i still plan on signing as i speak to myself to ensure i dont forget any of it and i just find it fun to do anyway! I am a little suspicious of my hearing anyway as it isnt the best and i do have moments where i lose hearing in one of my ears for a few minutes at a time the longest being an hour and sometimes in both ears together so I'm looking into that but im so excited to finally be a BSL user and join this community
