Hi my name is Imogen Farmer, I'm 16 years old and i have been wanting to learn sign language for the longest time now.

In the future i would love to become a Nanny or look after children with special needs. I think learning sign language will be a great skill to have in my life to help with my future career. This is my first time ever looking at sign languge so obviously i am on the beginners course but i'm actually finding it quite easy and scoring really high on the assessments at the end of each part.

People have always told me that i will be great working with special needs children as i am kind, caring, very patient, nurturing, a good role model and sensible.

i think that BSL is an amazing thing that is so helpful for so many people and in my opinion very easy to learn and i think it is really going to help me in the future.

  How did the Matchroom Boxing article shape your view of the rematch’s significance, and what resource are you using for betting insights?

  Many thanks Malik. I am going through numerous assessments with the NHS team here in Belfast. Most of it is reassuring, but of course there are some lingering concerns. In the meantime, I am trying to get more involved with sign language as a complement to the CI and make me feel more integrated with the D/deaf community. I will continue to search within the Forum for more info and feedback from CI users.

  Welcome back Gerry! I hope you manage to find members of your local Deaf community to interact with. I am not Deaf myself, but i do know CIs are a controversial topic in the community. I also heard that they can cause dizzyness and it can feel very overwhelming at the beginning. I hope that your transition goes smoothly, good luck!

  Hi (again) everyone. If you look at my previous posts over the past couple of years (!!!) you can see that this latest attempt is surely going to be THIRD TIME LUCKY as I am determined to get back up to speed on my BSL course, as well as become more active on this Forum. Just a bit of an update. I'm now 76, and lined up for an NHS Cochlear Implant (CI) probably in the next 6-9 months. I with the support of my daughter and wife, want to use this 9-month window to better prepare myself for my

  I’m learning BSL because my autistic daughter is too. She can manage to sign in situations that she previously felt too overwhelmed to be in.
