Hello everyone,

My name is Jess and I am a Primary School Teacher. In my job, I often come across children with additional needs and I'm interested to learn BSL so that I can communicate better with children who suffer from hearing loss. 

I am also a languages teacher and figured that I have invested time in learning a foreign language so why not therefore invest time in learning a language as valuable as BSL?

I am a little apprehensive after signing in to my new course BSL Levels one and two (which thankfully I have one year to complete) however, I am also very excited to begin a new journey and learn such an important skill.  I am a complete beginner!

If you have any advice or time to practise/ things to share with me, I would be immensely grateful.

Thanks and best wishes to you all.

Jess.

Hello Jess, I’m Peter at 87 profoundly deaf, been attempting to learn BSL for three years, watching videos, getting nowhere! However, this year I was introduced to www.signaturelearinghub.co.uk! Now galloping ahead! Jess, take a look at www.signaturelearinghub.co.uk. I took out a one year's subscription! The study elements are great, the dictionary comprehensive! I also use for addition vocabulary, YouTube, which has lots of free BSL learning material by different BSL instructors! Wishing good progress!   Peter

      Perhaps, it would be a better place if everyone learnt just the basics #justsayin

      I am Cassie, I am interested in BSL as I feel its more useful. I know basic makaton and completed intro course to BSL. I feel sign language or makaton is more important than "modern foreign language" (especially in the case of makaton) as it is more likely students are going to come across hard of hearing/those with difficulty communicating than the chance of going abroad. Bare in mind I am learning French too as me and my friend go to Disneyland Paris once a year, but they mostly speak english

      Does anyone know of a place that has videos of people doing basic conversational BSL to practice watching and understanding sentences. I have just re-done the BSL introductory course on british-sign and want to continue practicing

      Why learn BSL?

      By Vanora · Posted

      After getting the opportunity to start learning SASL when I was a Scouter in South Africa, I was keen once we moved to the UK to learn BSL. Once I came across the BSL course it was a no-brainer! I am currently unemployed and bust getting all my ducks in a row to start a career in the Care industry and while sitting waiting for my DBS to come through, I am trying to learn as much as possible from Dementia Awareness to of course BSL. Honestly I have no one in the deaf community that I know bu

      Hello from a South African living in the UK

      By Vanora · Posted

      Hello! I have been living in the UK for 1 year. Prior to that I was born and raised in Johannesburg South Africa. I was involved with Scouts, and ran 1st Kibler Park Sea Scouts as their troop scouter. Through scouts I was given the opportunity to start learning SASL. I didn't get very far but have now embraced the opportunity to learn BSL instead. I am excited to be able to engage with a community that doesn't get enough support from the hearing community. In addition I am starting to
