Signing along to music (in BSL/SSE)

Hello 😁
 
My name is Nicholas Bieber (no, I'm not related to Justin Bieber, ha!), I'm 25-years-old and I have moderate hearing loss.
 
I have to wear hearing aids every day, but fortunately I can hear with them, and they have enabled me to mix with fully hearing people and enjoy my career as a journalist. 
 
Sadly though, for so many people this is not the case 💔 Many, like my grandparents, are fully deaf and will never get to experience the special emotions that come with listening to music 😔
 
So I've done something special (I hope)! 🎶📹
 
I learned British Sign Language as a young boy, so I could comminicate with my grandparents, and ended up getting a qualification in it (in levels 1 and 2).
 
I have now started a special YouTube channel where I interpret songs into sign language!
 
For my second video (link posted after this sentence), I performed the incredible Lost Without You by Freya Ridings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQaT8sI1EsE&feature=youtu.be
 
 I'd be SO honoured and grateful if you could share this with your friends and family, and in doing so, helping me to raise awareness of this beautiful language.

I feel sign language should be a compulsory subject in schools, as it is just as important as learning Spanish, French and German. So let's help achieve that! 😁
 
Thank you 😊

    • Hi my name is Gill and I've just completed lesson 3.  I started learning BSL a number of years ago and went to a Deaf Club in Chorley, Lancashire.  But sadly had to let it go when we moved.  Looking forward to learning again x    
    • Hi, I have joined BSL as I am retiring very soon from Special needs teaching. I have used Makaton signing in my classroom for many years but would like to be able to sign to more people. I also think it will be good for stimulating my brain and I have already become very competitive with myself playing the spelling game!!
    • Ive just started to learn how to use BSL and I managed to use fingerspelling to get a message to someone when I wasn't able to speak to them. I am so Glad I started this course I think that it will really help me with my career path in the future.

    • Hi everyone, I was keen to learn BSL as I am on a career break from a job in IT and am very interested in how i can help people with listening difficulties learn / understand how IT may be a great place to work, seek a career. where there are lots of vacancies / opportunities..
    • Hi to all BSL learners, I have decided to learn BSL because as part of my role in healthcare I communicate with a variety of patients and think it will be a good skill to have.  Also my mother and mother-in-law is starting to have problem with their hearing... And I would like to have this skill to help them if they need to learn BSL in the future. 
    • My name is Julia. I am learning BSL because I am losing my hearing.  I have no hearing in my left ear now due to an acoustic neuroma and I have inherited otosclerosis from my mother's side of the family and I now have very little hearing in my right ear.  I also attend a lipreading class. I did start to learn BSL a few years ago but did not persevere! I am restarting my journey with it and must make sure that I practice, practice, practice!!
