Hi everyone i am 17 and learning BSL. I have started learning sign language as I feel it was unfortunate for it not to be offered to anyone in secondary school. I have heard discussions of it being introduced which i believed to be unfortunately too late. I then decided I wanted to learn now. I believe it would be great to be able to communicate with more people. I currently do not know where to go to find someone to practice with in person. I feel like my want to potentially work in sports coaching it is important to be able to communicate with as many people as possible. I do also know that my Mom felt learning bsl to be important as she did attempt to start teaching me when I was little. Unfortunately that did not continue so I stopped and only knew the alphabet

    • Hi, I'm Hayley. I've just recently started a BSL course. I remember learning the alphabet and a couple of basic words back in school years ago, and I've always wanted to learn. I have the time now, so I thought I would give it a go. I'm always keen to learn and I work in retail, so it may well come in handy to know a little at least!ย  Whenever I've learned languages in the past, I've always been better at understanding it, rather than being able to actually speak it. So, hopefully, I can glean an understanding at least. Anyway, hello, everyone =]
    • Hi, I'm a 69yo and just accepting I'm hard of hearing, more so lately. Most likely age-relatedย but with recent deterioration, and life-long tinnitus. Had a lot of middle ear infections, mostly in childhood but in my 40's a month or so of severe conductive deafness following burst ear drums. For myself, while I am bit hard of hearing, it's seem unlikely I will become deaf and absolutely need BSL, but learning something of it now feels a kind of 'insurance' if it would become really useful - I'd not want to age into a degree of deafness that really impaired communication. Of course, that would mean friends & family would need BSL to communicate with me, but then with BSL I might avoid total verbal isolation . ย  But, beyond my needs, BSL is an official UK language and hearing people able to use BSL could be a way for these communities to be in more contact.ย  And - so far, BSL seems fun, indeed ingenious, with its own history. I had no idea, for example, that [I read] American Sign Language is more like European sign languages, as it derives more from French settlers - ie BSL, ASL (etc) ย are languages with their own long histories. And - yes, following that - I hope learning BSL will challenge and reduce my less than charitable audism - ie will be about increasing my abilities, not 'helping deaf people' (๐Ÿ˜ณ!!)ย

    • Hi Batem4n! I learned the alphabet under 2 years ago, and retook the course properly a few months back. I absolutely love it.
