 hello,

I started learning BSL because of my job originally,  I felt it would be ideal skill to have on the ambulance. I have found it extremely hard to maintain what ive learn when I haven't got nobody else who knows BSL or who is welling to learn. since I started this course ive actually loved it and find myself signing the words I do know in conversations without realising what im doing . I haven't found it a chore at all. I also thought this would help me widen my social circle and make new friends.  my ability is very basic at present but im trying.

      Practice reminder

      By Tals · Posted

      Hi, I'm doing my level 6 in BSL. Would anyone be interested joining a Facebook group to practice? I share information or information that may be useful. I finding people aren't around here very often. It's called BSL forum.  I'm happy to join any other groups that practice too.

      Meeting someone new

      By Alana Gauntlett · Posted

      Hi all, I'm Alana (she/her). I met my partner in July who is hard of hearing. They wear hearing aids and can lip read me pretty well after only a few months but I am learning so we can fully communicate in all environments and also their hearing will get worse throughout their life so it is best to learn now. They are also learning so we are learning together! I never had to think about accessibility before I met them and I am very grateful that I get to learn about their experience. Meetin

      So many reasons!

      By EmmaGriffiths · Posted

      There are so many reasons why I want to learn BSL. When I was little I was properly introduced to BSL by my mum, she learned BSL as part of her job as a child-minder. She taught me what she learned and I loved the language!  I always wanted to learn more but never found the time or anyone to practice with. I've had many jobs in public sector and learned that I could be more inclusive with my communication.  Being diagnosed with hearing loss motivated me even more to learn BSL. It

      I'm Emma, I'm 27 living in London (and I love it here). I work in social media as a content producer and art advisor. I hope to be a curator one day!

And I love going for long walks!  I am hard of hearing, with moderate-severe hearing loss in my right ear (the sound in my right ear is too quiet and muffled to understand anything, it's pretty much useless). I've just started using a hearing ai

      Hi, I’m Artio. I learned finger spelling when I was very little. I love languages - I enjoy learning foreign languages, computer coding, and I’ve been wanting to learn BSL for a long time but struggled to find and pay for resources. I work full time as a data analyst. I study part time towards a Natural Sciences degree with an emphasis on Biology and Chemistry. I’m autistic and have ADHD.  I’d love to be able to talk without using sound. Speaking out loud feels like a lot m
