My BSL journey

[RachelC]

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.

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