Hi Guys, 

I hope you are all happy and healthy. My name is Derek and I am currently trying to learn to sign. There's a few reasons for this but the main ones are that I was born with limited hearing and through a series of operations (mainly having things removed) I got my hearing back. It comes and goes slightly when I have a bad cold but not seriously.

The second reason is that I work in the hospitality trade and would really like to be able to communicate with all of my guests one day. Using the lock down and the unlimited time just feels like the perfect time.

      Introducing myself

      By SamW · Posted

      Hi, introducing myself - my name is Sam, I'm very nearly 47 years old. I work with customers everyday and more and more am finding that we have hard of hearing or deaf customers who are coming into branch, who adapt brilliantly to our lack of skill of being unable to communicate with them. So I decided to challenge myself and my aging brain to learn something new and to learn BSL to try and make their experience in our branch a bit better.
