Why I am learning BSL

Learning BSL has been something I had been interested in for some time, but like most ideas I didn't actually do anything to actually make this happen, until one day at work..... I work for the ambulance service, responding to those emergency 999 calls. Now this particular day was a dark early start and our first job or the day was a welfare check for a patient that wasn't responding to their lifeline call. The job came through stating that the patient was deaf, was give the keys safe details so we could gain entry to the property. The patient was alright, but they were only aware of our presence when we turned on his bedroom light. In al honesty I felt ashamed and disappointed with myself that the only way we could communicate was through typing messages on a mobile phone. That is why I am learning BSL. I'm still very early on in my BSL journey but it has already come in useful. -

Hi, I work in theatre. Several shows are signed for the patrons. I thought it would be very useful to have the ability to be able to sign to make their experience in coming to the theatre more enjoyable. -
Hello, my name is Beth. I'm learning BSL as part of my DofE course. I also think it's a really important skill to have, and a very very important language

So far, I am really enjoying my BSL journey. I think that it is something I would’ve never done and I’m glad I’m pushing myself to do it. I think it’s great and everyone should have a go and take a chance and start to learn it because you never know when it will come in Handy

Hello, my name is ellie and I started learning BSL because I think it is important as an inspired aspiring teacher to be able to help the ability to educate all pupils with all different abilities. BSL has really helped me and made it easy to understand.

I used to work in an SEMH children's home, 5 years ago, and I began to learn BSL alongside some of those young people. I then saw a BSL evening course at my local high school and took part in that, we did an introduction, then all nagged the tutor so much, she agreed to do Level 1! We got 2 weeks in when covid lockdown struck and the course, like everything else, was cancelled. 2 years ago I got together with my partner, who has hearing loss, which is progressing. We decided it would be a good idea to learn BSL now, while she can still hear a bit, so we are prepared. 2 of my adult children and their partners are learning alongside us. We post question and answer videos on our family WhatsApp to practice, our current quest is to see who can sign the most unlikely occupation and place to live! My partner already finds it very difficult to make out what people are saying in busy or noisy spaces, so the few signs we have learnt together, along with fingerspelling, have already been very helpful and we can all see how much this new skill will benefit all of us.
