Hi Julie, That's such a great reason to learn too, well done you on being so proactive with it. Same here too really. I have always wanted to learn BSL and working in a GP surgery I feel it would make us even more inclusive to people who otherwise may not feel as such all the time. I have almost completed the course, yet still feel like such a newbie and getting everything to stick in my head with how things are worded different is something that is taking me a wee bit longer than I would like haha! But I am getting there. I would like to be more active in this community too as I feel it would help with practice. It's nice meet you and keep going with your learning! P.S. Practice makes perfect, right?

A bit rusty on this but I think it would go something like - Me - Ask - Question or just Question

As I am going through the BSL online foundation, I have taken time out to introduce myself here. A little about me, I initially 'cut my teeth' with real basic BSL when I was doing voluntary work for a local PHAB (physically handicapped and Able Bodied) charity when I was serving in the RAF. I've now felt it's time to pick up where I left off many many years ago and, for my own diversity, decided to do some formal training. It came as a surprise to my boss when I put BSL on my annual learning goals for the year but, as I informed him, I wasn't aware of anyone in our company that uses sign language and it can only help our company in its goals to be a fully inclusive workplace for all. Apologies for the really bad signing in the video 😁
