Why I'm learning BSL

I'm learning BSL to teach myself about new and useful skills, and I can transfer this to my working life where people I interact with don't always use verbal communication. I'm also slightly hard of hearing myself and sometimes it takes me a few seconds to understand what people have said to me, so learning BSL will help my communication. My landlord also knows the finger-spelling alphabet, so I can practice with him!

I work in a college supporting additional needs students, some of whom have hearing impairments or who are d(D)eaf. They come to lectures with interpreters, but  I want to be able to communicate directly with them more easily in future years.

      My BSL journey

      By RachelC · Posted

      Hello! I have always been interested in learning BSL and learned to fingerspell as a Brownie. I have used Makaton intermittently over the year with children who I have worked with but have always wanted to learn BSL. I have been inspired to do this recently by watching some television dramas that have had members of the d/Deaf community using BSL. I also have some hearing loss and feel that it would be useful to learn some BSL to help with communication.

      Why am I learning BSL?

      By Danielle B · Posted

      I have always been interested in learning BSL, having taught myself the finger spelling signs when I was about 10 years old from my mum's old nursing sign language book. I have currently just finished my first year of a masters in Speech and Language Therapy which has reignited my interest. I hope to have, at the very least, a base level knowledge of BSL when going into an SLT role in the future to be able to support my communication with prospective clients / patients.

      Hello!

      The topic of relationships always resonates, especially when discussed in communities where people share personal experiences and try to be as sincere as possible. It is important that the conversation is not limited to stereotypes, but touches on real feelings, doubts and hopes. Finding the right person is not an easy task, especially if you have specific perceptions of the world or communication. Fortunately, there are now platforms that take into account different life contexts. If you are in
