Hello, my name is Eve Baker and I am 26 years old. I am a Reception Teacher and I absolutely love my job! I have been a fully qualified teacher coming up to 4 years now. I haven't come across any pupils in my class as of yet who use BSL, however, a child has recently started in the Nursery class who is profoundly deaf - and I feel this could be a good opportunity to practice all this learning with her (especially as I could get her in my class next year!). I have always been really interested in learning BSL but due to work commitments I have never found the time to do it, so I making the most of this lock down period and taking a huge positive from it by learning something new and fun! :)

      Introducing myself

      By Naf · Posted

      Hi, I am Naf and I have always wanted to learn sign language especially after working with a SEN student who suffered from hearing loss 2 years ago.  I was assigned to be her 1 to 1 and support her learning on a daily basis.  I learnt how to sign from simple communication to slightly complex story-telling level in order to provide a more inclusive environment.

      Introducing myself

      By Ninotchka · Posted

      Hello everybody,  I am from UK, born in Skipton, Yorkshire. I was born profoundly deaf, but because my parents decided to send me to hearing schools, I never learnt BSL. Parents had to take me from one school to another.  I was so unhappy in the schools because none of the chldren understood me and I struggled to learn anything from teachers who made no effort to help me understand.  It was a lonely experience being in hearing schools in those days. Now, as an elder, the little hearing I have is worsening, because I have tinnitus. So, I am studying the online British-Sign course to learn BSL. In the past I never saw my deafness as a handicap, but more as a gift. Being Deaf  enabled me to find out who I truly was. I became a professional ballerina despite being profoundly deaf, and later in life I taught many deaf and hearing people to dance and to gain confidence; to believe in themselves. I was recently on an episode of 'See Hear.' Series 45, Episode 1, called Love and Dating. My professional name was Nina Falaise. My married name is Nina Cooper.  These days, I use my visual skills in art and in my observation and love of nature.  Best wishes to you all, Nina

      Hi everyone! Here's my introduction in BSL. Grateful for any feedback on my signing. I'm very much at the beginner stage. I'm learning BSL as one of my best friend's sisters is Deaf and I'd like to be able to chat to her in BSL.

      Sign Language helps with Autism

      By MakingKim · Posted

      Hi Megan,  Just thought I would send you a quick comment, saying, your not alone. I know several people who prefer BSL to talking because its to the point, there is no small talk to think about, no in between word fillers to think about, so completely understand. hope your journey through BSL helps you in more ways than you can imagine.
