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

    • Having an awareness of sign language is so important. Being able to communicate with others and be inclusive is part of what makes us the sociable species we are. Making BSL available to more people and even at school from an early age would help everyone communicate more easily. I'm also learning to keep my mind active and to help with some volunteering I do. 
    • hi i have a question, i have seen sentances structured "name me what ..." or "age me what..."  is the what part nessessary in informal conversations? 
    • Hi, I have wanted to learn BSL for a long time, but have only recently got around to it. I am a rugby player going into cardiac physiology and want to be able to communicate with any patients whose preferred communication method is BSL. Feel free to reach out, as I would love to communicate with others who know BSL.

    • Hi my name is Sara I have always been keen to learn BSL, having done small amounts in the past at school/youth groups, but have taken the decision to teach myself now as a hobby mainly but also as a result of starting to suffer from hearing loss at 46. I work at a University and feel it may be a good tool and skill to potentially help any students needing support being a bonus. 
    • thank you for your reply. the full script of what im signing is under the video if that helps. keep going to! I hope your enjoying learning 
    • hi hannah great signing very clear
    • Hi everyone, I have enrolled in this course, due to having a voice condition called Spasmodic dysphonia  making communication extremely difficult on day to day basis . Over the last few years I have been doing a counselling course and feel for me to continue with this I need to have another form of communication.
