I am learning as I am currently a support worker and think having basic knowledge of BSL could allow me to support more people especially those of who have hearing difficulties. Also because I very recently seen a BSL conversation in the supermarket and found it so interesting and I thought it would be something I wish I could do!

I have been wanting to do this for a very long while. Since I was 17 (now 35) and I think it will help in my current role as a shop assistant and helping my customers and understand them better. But I have always wanted a job with the Deaf community. I think it would be very fulfilling and very rewarding to know you have helped someone when others don't communicate well or talk too fast.

This sounds brilliant for yourself... how are you finding the assessments?

      Hi everyone!

      By Laila Marshall · Posted

      Hi there! I'm Laila and I've just started a beginners course in BSL. I work in a nursery as a senco and one to one currently but hoping to move on to a different job role in a special school or a school setting. I've been fascinated by BSL for years now and I've finally decided to take the leap and start a course so here we are! I am already level 1, 2, 3 and soon to be level 4 trained in makaton in the new year but ive always loved watching people use BSL and even though I'm not deaf i still plan on signing as i speak to myself to ensure i dont forget any of it and i just find it fun to do anyway! I am a little suspicious of my hearing anyway as it isnt the best and i do have moments where i lose hearing in one of my ears for a few minutes at a time the longest being an hour and sometimes in both ears together so I'm looking into that but im so excited to finally be a BSL user and join this community
