A "summer camp for adults" led me to BSL

Hi, I'm a hearing adult with AuDHD and I got a short intro to BSL through one of the activities at a weekend camping event a few years ago. It was very interesting and I felt that learning sign language could not only be beneficial if I meet other speakers when out and about, but it would also be useful in other settings (noisy concerts/festivals, or other events where spoken conversation isn't practical).

I've started to learn independently through the British Sign website and am hoping at some point to find an in-person class running near me (central Berkshire) on Thursdays as that's my only fixed day off work.

      Why I'm learning :)

      By megh7 · Posted

      Hi! I'm a doctor and often meet patients who use BSL. I worry that they get a substandard of care if an interpreter can't be quickly found, and they have to resort to writing. I'd love to be able to communicate with patients better by signing.

      I am 85, in sheltered accommodation, and suffering from Giant cell arteritis which has damaged my auditory nerve,,and may make me completely deaf. I am therefore learning BSL and teaching all the carers who visit me basic signing,,and at least BSL alphabet.  Going well, but I needed to see other people signing well so that I can teach others. I enjoyed playing the game. Very helpful.

      Hello all, I'm a newbie to BSL, and looking forward to learning a new language.  I learned Makaton and was a teacher for children with SEN/D for a number of years. My grandmother taught me how to fingerspell when I was quite young- and its great to revise the skill. Brenna

      Why I am learning

      By Alison2402 · Posted

      I am a student nurse and I feel I should know more than just spoken and written English. I would like to be able to communicate better with any patients I have in the future who use BSL themselves. My children get taught some signing at school so I should also be learning so I can help them learn further.

      Hello all,   I am student nurse and I think that having some knowledge of BSL is important incase some of my patients use it themselves. It will help me build a better relationship with them I feel.

      Hi all! I know a few people who are deaf so  I signed up for a BSL course at my local center so I can communicate better with them. It's not easy! But love it
