Hi, I'm learning BSL as I am slowly losing my hearing, but also because I have deaf friends and want to communicate with them in their own language rather than just mine. Having completed a taster BSL course I am waiting to join a Level 1 BSL course in January. My friend has taught me quite a lot already although I realise its just a drop in the ocean as is the same with any new language. It takes time and practice to learn enough to get by!

      Why I am learning BSL :)

      By dippe · Posted

      I recently had a health scare due to some hearing loss, which even medical professionals are unsure why I have. I decided after this that I would learn BSL (something I have wanted to do for years but never got round to doing) because of this, but also because everyone has a right to be 'heard'. I find it disappointing that schools do not teach BSL, as there are many people who use it as their only language, and it is disheartening to know that not everyone can understand them. I am unsure how b

      Hello    I am learning British Sign Language as i work in child care.  I am also hard of hearing myself.  I wear a hearing aid in my right ear due to a mastoid when younger.  I also have recently started to wear a hearing aid in my Left ear as my hearing has deteriorated, so in the future i may even need to know BSL.  i feel BSL should be taught in schools as it is a language in itself and there are lots of people that are hard or hearing or deaf.  I feel like they would be includ

      Why I want to learn BSL

      By Clare123 · Posted

      Hi,  I am learning BSL in order to better support the students going through university. I have just been offered a job as a student support worker, to assist deaf and/or sight impaired students and, although not a requirement of the job, I feel it would be beneficial to both myself and the students if I can at least sign some basics.
