I'm Yasmin, I have wanted to learn BSL for a very long time. My first introduction to the language was way back when I was around 5 years old and we were taught how to sign our names in Rainbows! I always remembered how to do so afterwards. I've now finally come around to find the course and enjoying it so far. I'm neurodiverse and so as well as being able to comnunicate with the D/deaf community, BSL could come in handy for the Neurodiverse community since some people are nonverbal and can adopt BSL or SSE for communication needs, too.

      Additional Communication

      By YasminBSL · Posted

      I have had an interest in learning BSL for many years because I find it an interesting language which is helpful to include more people in society rather than exclude. I am neurodiverse and a kinaesthetic learner, so this is a functionally accessible language for me to (hopefully) learn, understand and implement. Alongside the D/deaf community for whom BSL is primarily created and used, I have seen some people find it useful in the Neurodiverse community for various reasons including nonverbal communication.  I think it's an exciting opportunity to be able to communicate with more people and learn about the D/deaf community and culture as well.

      My name is Jacquie and I live in Christchurch, Bournemouth.  I passed my BSL level 1 two years ago and I am now (hoping) to recall and improve my skills. Please contact me if you are an improver also looking for a practise buddy.  Many thanks🤗.  (Apologies for the video!  I was more than nervous putting this out there!!🤗)

      Hello! My name is Eleonora and I live in Scotland. I work in customer service and one of our regular customers is deaf. Wanting to communicate better with them gave me the needed push to finally learn BSL, which I've always been interested in (I'm also a translator and all languages fascinate me). I have only just started and I would love to have more opportunities to practice. If you're up for the occasional videochat (or a chat in person if you live in Edinburgh), I would love to practice with you! 😄 Ele 🍃

      Bibi and BSL

      HI! My name is Bianca and I began learning sign language in October 2025. I was initially prompted by a book called "Where is God in a messed up world?" and there was the first page dedicated to the deaf community: "This book is dedicated to those individuals who were born deaf. They are one of the West's most neglected groups of individuals. They may never have heard the birds sing, the enthusiastic chatter of a group of friends or a Beethoven symphony, but I pray that they will hear the still, small voice of Almighty God speaking to their hearts.". This touched me deeply, and I decided to dedicate myself to caring for the deaf community through charities and learning BSL, where I also attended events to interact with other young people who were keen on creating change for the SEND community. We would not be who we are without you.
