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

      Why am I learning BSL?

      By Xenia Lopez · Posted

      I have always been really passionate about languages, and a few years ago I came across Christine Sun Kim Ted "The enchanting music of sign language" and it sparked my curiosity about SL. At that moment I knew nothing about it, I genuinely felt so surprised "how can it be that such a fascinating form of communication is so forgotten by the hearing folks???" A few years later after that (I had been working in improving and mastering my English), and especially since I am moving to Scotland i

      Hi, I'm learning  BSL, it is something  I've  always  been interested  in learning  sign language partly because  my son struggles to communicate sometimes  due to his Autism. Now a young boy has joined  our church and he is deaf and learning  to sign, I would  like to help him feel welcome.
