Why am I learning BSL?

[Trigirl1703]

Learning BSL is something I've wanted to do for a long time.  My uni course has just finished and I have more time available so now seemed like a good time to start.

Same here! I started in 2020 during Covid as i wanted to learn a new skill but I wasn't consistent and eventually forgot about it. However, I'm now back 5 years later haha and I'm determined to be fluent! Feel free to reach as i would love to communicate with others too

Welcome to the forum! It's great that you've decided to learn BSL in your free time. How long have you been learning for up until now?

Hello!  How is BSL practise going so far since you started learning again?
