Introducing myself

Hi, Im Hayely and I am 25 years old.

I started doing this to pick up a new skill during these difficult times and my friend actually inspired me to do it because she started at the beginning of 2020 and now knows her basic lines for her job (she works within the NHS). Another reason is because my work is closed but we have help our local council with jobs for helping other people and they asked if anyone knew sign language, obviously not enough to help out but still it got me here!

the basics i know so far are numbers, alphabet question and (related to me) places. 

Happy to practice with anyone :) 

Also wondering if anyone can recommend some books to also learn from?

      Hi

      By Hayley Clements · Posted

      Hi, I'm Hayley. I am a student midwife. I decided to learn sign language so I can communicate with women and their families that use sign. Communication is a key part of my role and I felt being able to communicate through sign would benefit my practice and hopefully the experience of women and families i meet in the future. 😊

      Hi Jeanie,  I started this course for the exact same reason, in a second year placement there was a boy in the class who was profoundly deaf and so communicating with him was a major barrier, he was my motivation to do this course. How long have you been teaching for? I would be really interested to hear how teaching sign to your children goes. what year group do you teach? I'm an NQT without a post yet. I really want to intro sign to phonics lessons when children are learning their sounds.

      Where do I start?

      By L15A76 · Posted

      My partners almost 3 years old grandson has just been diagnosed as severely disabled, I don't know the ins and outs yet but basically he will never speak beyond basic sounds. His hearing at present seems to be unaffected. I introduced the family to baby sign last year when I met my partner and he'd told me about some of his grandsons issues, he's picked up a few signs. My question is where do we go from here? Is there a course to learn Makaton or should we go straight into BSL? Th

      Hello! I'm also a London librarian, so nice to 'meet' you! I signed up to this course, as I did BSL (Grade 1) years ago, and wanted to brush up my skills.

      Dates and Decades

      By Gabrielle Angeni · Posted

      Hello! I'm just wondering how to describe the decades in which people were born? If I was born in the 1980s or 80s, how would I sign that? Also, when describing when things happened, how would you sign the year? For anything really old, like the 1800s, how would you sign that time period? I've been practicing my numbers and currency, but haven't come across how to sign decades and periods. Thanks, Gabi

      I think that is a wonderful reason for doing this course.

      I have just started the online course and had been meaning to do it for a while.  I wanted to learn as I am a teacher and it is such a useful skill to have to be able to communicate more widely.  I think I will be teaching my class to sign soon! Jean
