Strictly star Rose Ayling-Ellis inspires sign language lessons surge
Russell Fowler, director of the website BSL Courses, says there are always "spikes" in people signing up to learn sign language following new episodes of Strictly."In August we were averaging around 20 to 30 enrolments a day, but by November, we were receiving an average of 400."The pair, who are both from Oxford and describe themselves as Strictly super fans, have been monitoring Google Trends since the series began.
Sixth form student Daisy Bennett, 16, says her sign language lessons will help her goal to become a child psychologist. Eventually, Daisy wants to be able to "have a full conversation with someone who uses sign language".He is profoundly deaf and has used BSL to communicate all of his life. Learning sign language isn't as difficult as people might think, Jason says, adding that most of his students "achieve the basics" within about 20 weeks.
