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

Good night! I believe that in your situations it will be really nice for you to automatize all possible business processes. For that aim, it is really nice to use some special soft like CRM systems, for example. Have you heard about the Salesforce, for example? It really helps to receive more profit. I am telling you about this because I am working with this soft and I could recommend you the salesforce customization services that will optimize this program, specially for your business model.

      Why I'm learning BSL

      By Georgia294 · Posted

      I've been meaning to for a long time - largely for a friend from uni who is deaf (at the moment it's mostly a case of "we get our phones out and type") but also because I'm autistic and sometimes struggle to get my words out when I'm in distress so it's good to have an alternative!

      Hello - I'm Georgia, and I'm learning BSL for the first time via the british-sign.co.uk beginner course. Very excited to get stuck in - I just hope I stick at it and don't fall apart the second other people are involved, so joining the forum is a big part of that!

      Reasons to learn

      By EmmaJPR · Posted

      I've tried learning BSL several times in the past 30 years. Evening classes as a teenager, informal classes at church to encourage more potential interpreters, and more recently several opportunities through work. I work as an accessibility specialist, and it would nice to be able to communicate with others in a way suited for them. It will always be easier for me to learn sign than for a deaf person to hear. And if I could get good enough, it would be nice to be able to interpret for others,

      Hello, my name is Emma. I'm working through the british-sign.co.uk course "Intro to BSL", and supporting colleagues at work to do the same. I've done something similar several times before, so I'm hoping this time my brain catches on this is something I'd like it to remember. I first met BSL as a child, through friends who are deaf, and completed Level 1 and 2 courses as a teenager in Northern Ireland. However, I'm not a natural at learning languages and years of not using it enough make it hard

      Why are we learning BSL

      By Ali Warwick · Posted

      Hi I’m here with my 18 year old who has a bilateral severe hearing loss, which was only picked up when she was 12.  She gets through by lip reading mostly,  as doesn’t enjoy wearing her hearing aids, so we’ve decided that we would like to learn BSL so we can communicate to each other and other Deaf/deaf people.  I also think it’s a useful skill in our everyday life whether we are at work or out and about.
