British sign language has been something I’ve always wanted to learn. Although I’m not deaf, I struggle to hear and rely a lot on lip reading. I also work in a school with children with special educational needs and feel like BSL could come in very useful for children who communicate in the same way as others. I’ve always thought that BSL should be part of the English curriculum in schools.

However, many BSL users and healthcare providers work together to establish common signs for medical terminology, and interpreters can often bridge the gap in medical settings. If you're learning BSL for healthcare or a related field, it's important to either collaborate
