hello, my name is Sophie and I am a children’s entertainer and singer. I have worked at holiday parks for three years now and realised that learning sign language could really help with my job. This was after a family came to one of our activities and all 6 used sign language to communicate to each other and us entertainers, only problem being that none of the team knew any sign language. So I have took it upon myself to learn sign language to be able to make sure every child is having the best time on holiday whether they are Deaf or not, every kid should all be able to join in the fun .

Hi, my name is Bari. I work in Retail-admin sector. I am a marathoner, a proud father of two beautiful autistic children. I also run a small online sports clothing line called www.firefitness.clothing. My son is a non-verbal autistic and I am learning BSL sign language, so that I can communicate with him more in the near future even though he has good hearing and listen everything we ask him to do. 

I have completed Assessment 3 with the BSL and really enjoying it, and looking forward to complete the course quickly and get the certificate and planning to do more in this field.

Regards,

Bari

Hi Sophie, I'm new too.

I'm a TA in a secondary school and whilst we have no current students who sign I figured that learning to sign would be a good use of my time. I'm practising with my small children so hopefully we will all go back to school with a new skill.

    • Hi, ok, so the Goose hosts a D/deaf Pub, which appears to be a Thursday Evening (I'll put more info on my website when they approve my FB Joining). I highly recomment D/deaf Pubs and Clubs to attend, because you get to see BSL in the real world, where as other students will sign how the tutor has taught them and (in my case) not all tutors sign the same way, so real life experience can be a huge bonus. (check out the website, just added the goose deaf pub info at deaf.mymentalwellness.uk)
    • Hi. erm... so, the deaf.mymentalwellness.uk page, you dont have to log in for that, it should give you two buttons, pressing the deaf pub / resources will take you to deaf.mymentalwellness.uk/events.php This is up and running, I have 30 venues listed, adding more when I get time. The bsl.mymentalwellness.uk page, im having to put in security measures for that page. This one you will have to log in, so the system can remember you and give you a distance based on postcodes. It will also have a block function as advised by my legal guys. The idea is to bring students L1/2/3/4/5/6 together with Native BSL Signers which will provide practice opportunities for the student, and social activities (Meetup for coffee) for the D/deaf person. If your interested in helping test and give feedback, please message me privately and ill give you instructions on how to access the page. Thanks Kim
    • Hi again do you know of any body in the Midlands that would like a BSL Buddy. Kate xxxxxxx  
    • I could not find this "...Deaf Pub listings at deaf.mymentalwellness.uk..." Do I have to sign in ?
    • Hi Kim, i'll be interested. I have posted a need for a BSL buddie, and the location/distance is an important part of being a buddie. I think we all need it to be convenient to meet and practice.
    • I wear a BAHA for my moderate to severe unilateral and I would like to be able to communicate in bel because it feels easier.
    • I'm a 13 year old girl with moderate to severe unilateral deafness, I currently wear a BAHA on a headband and I want to get the implant and I have recently started learning BSL. I know that my hearing loss is quite low but I still really want to be involved in the Deaf/HoH community but I have no idea how.
