My name is Jacqui and I live in Leeds, West Yorkshire.
I currently work for the NHS, and we receive patients who are deaf or have significant hearing problems. This motivated me to learn sign language so that I could communicate with patients better and on a more personal level rather than using a system called the Language Line.
At present, I am learning BSL, Introducing British Sign Language. The course is going very well, and I am enjoying studying very much.
