Hi, 

I'm Clare and have just been offered a position as Student Support Worker in my local university. Although not a requirement of the job, I feel that it would be incredibly beneficial to know the basics of Sign Language, so here I am, eager to learn.

    • Hi, I'm Hayley. I've just recently started a BSL course. I remember learning the alphabet and a couple of basic words back in school years ago, and I've always wanted to learn. I have the time now, so I thought I would give it a go. I'm always keen to learn and I work in retail, so it may well come in handy to know a little at least!  Whenever I've learned languages in the past, I've always been better at understanding it, rather than being able to actually speak it. So, hopefully, I can glean an understanding at least. Anyway, hello, everyone =]
    • Hi, I'm a 69yo and just accepting I'm hard of hearing, more so lately. Most likely age-related but with recent deterioration, and life-long tinnitus. Had a lot of middle ear infections, mostly in childhood but in my 40's a month or so of severe conductive deafness following burst ear drums. For myself, while I am bit hard of hearing, it's seem unlikely I will become deaf and absolutely need BSL, but learning something of it now feels a kind of 'insurance' if it would become really useful - I'd not want to age into a degree of deafness that really impaired communication. Of course, that would mean friends & family would need BSL to communicate with me, but then with BSL I might avoid total verbal isolation .   But, beyond my needs, BSL is an official UK language and hearing people able to use BSL could be a way for these communities to be in more contact.  And - so far, BSL seems fun, indeed ingenious, with its own history. I had no idea, for example, that [I read] American Sign Language is more like European sign languages, as it derives more from French settlers - ie BSL, ASL (etc)  are languages with their own long histories. And - yes, following that - I hope learning BSL will challenge and reduce my less than charitable audism - ie will be about increasing my abilities, not 'helping deaf people' (😳!!)

    • Hi Batem4n! I learned the alphabet under 2 years ago, and retook the course properly a few months back. I absolutely love it.
    • Hi I am new and just started learning. I need some guidance about the centres in London where I can meet up with people who are interested in learning and can do some practice. Many thanks and excuse for my language 
    • Hi  everyone, this is my first post on the forum.  I work as part of the Front of House Team in a theatre and I am interested in learning some sign language to be able to communicate more easily with the many members of the deaf community who come to the theatre. So far I am doing ok in the comfort of my own home but under pressure I get flustered.  Does anyone else find the same problem? I think a lot is down to constant repetition and practice.  
    • Hello everyone 🙂 I'm Layne. I am about to take my BSL202 and BSL203 at the start of next week 😬 I luckily passed BSL201 last week 😌 I am based in India so it is tricky to find people to practice with. If anyone is up super early in the UK and looking for someone to converse with I am 5.5 hours ahead so will be around! Thank you 🙏
