Why am I learning BSL?


Recommended Posts

My name is Julia. I am learning BSL because I am losing my hearing.  I have no hearing in my left ear now due to an acoustic neuroma and I have inherited otosclerosis from my mother's side of the family and I now have very little hearing in my right ear.  I also attend a lipreading class. I did start to learn BSL a few years ago but did not persevere! I am restarting my journey with it and must make sure that I practice, practice, practice!!

    • Hi! I’m Emily, I was a CoDa (child of deaf adult) between ages of 5 and 12 as we used BSL at home to communicate with my stepdad who was deaf.    I recently watched a show with a deaf actress in who used ASL and it reminded me that I know quite a lot of basic BSL but I want to brush up on my skills so I can effectively communicate with any BSL users I come across! It’s also a fun hobby ☺️
