Introducing Myself

Hi I'm Lee and I live in Kent.  I am married with two children and a dog who is honestly more work than any of them!  I run a business called The UK's Startup Partner and love reading, music and watching way too much YouTube!

I am trying to learn sign language for two reasons really.  Firstly, I have central auditory processing disorder and while this means I can hear, I can't always make sense of what I hear. There are times when it would be easier to be able to sign as there is only so many times people want to repeat themselves :-)  I also want my business to be able to support everyone, and to be as fully inclusive as possible, and so I'm looking to learn how to sign to be able to help anyone who needs it, however they communicate.

I've been trying to learn BSL for a while, and I've picked up a few words, but really need to move onto sentence construction, so I don't make myself look silly when I try to use it!  I'm looking forward to picking up some tips.

 

Lovely to virtually meet everyone!


Lee

      Remark online practice

      By Jon · Posted

      I have just come across this online practice club https://remark.uk.com/sign-club/ has anyone used it? My BSL is still very basic and I wanted to know what the standard was like before I try it.

      Tips to remember vowels

      By Jon · Posted

      I am still slow with fingerspelling but generally get the vowels right when signing myself. I find reading someone else's fingerspelling quickly enough much more difficult - I've just started to concentrate on the position of their thumb to get the vowels right.

      Hi :)

      Hi, my name's Ellie and I'm learning BSL because I've always wanted to! I'm very interested in languages (I have studied french for 4 years) and think BSL would be a very valuable language to learn next.

      Why I’m Learning BSL?

      By EllieT · Posted

      Hi everyone! I’m a new learner of BSL and wanted to join the forum. I am a primary school teacher looking for CPD opportunities. I have a child in my class who is Deaf and this child has really inspired me to find out more about the Deaf community and learn BSL for myself. Whilst working with this child and visitors to my classroom, such as an advisory teacher for the Deaf and Speech and Language Therapists, I’ve picked up a few useful signs but I wanted to learn BSL properly. I’m finding it really interesting and enjoyable so far and I cannot wait to complete my BSL online course- it will feel like a real personal and professional achievement for me!☺️

      Iris, you have posted some interesting questions, and a couple of them could be expanded considerably. I would like to respond at length but not just now. I'll try and do so in a week or so. Are we permitted to communicate outside the forum? [email protected]
