Introducing Myself

Hi, my name is Leia. I am a primary school teacher who has always wanted to learn sign language, not just so I am able to communicate and teach children who have hearing difficulties, but also to be able to teach hearing children how to be inclusive. I feel like basic sign language is something all children should learn. I have learnt the basics before whilst at university, but wanted a more in-depth knowledge/ refresher. Everyday, when I take the register (morning and afternoon) I sign good morning and good afternoon to the children who answer the register by signing (and saying) this back to me. I have 1 student who has taken a particular interest in sign language and has asked me to show her more. I'm really looking forward to seeing where this will take me.

      Why I'm learning :)

      By megh7 · Posted

      Hi! I'm a doctor and often meet patients who use BSL. I worry that they get a substandard of care if an interpreter can't be quickly found, and they have to resort to writing. I'd love to be able to communicate with patients better by signing.

      I am 85, in sheltered accommodation, and suffering from Giant cell arteritis which has damaged my auditory nerve,,and may make me completely deaf. I am therefore learning BSL and teaching all the carers who visit me basic signing,,and at least BSL alphabet.  Going well, but I needed to see other people signing well so that I can teach others. I enjoyed playing the game. Very helpful.

      Hello all, I'm a newbie to BSL, and looking forward to learning a new language.  I learned Makaton and was a teacher for children with SEN/D for a number of years. My grandmother taught me how to fingerspell when I was quite young- and its great to revise the skill. Brenna

      Why I am learning

      By Alison2402 · Posted

      I am a student nurse and I feel I should know more than just spoken and written English. I would like to be able to communicate better with any patients I have in the future who use BSL themselves. My children get taught some signing at school so I should also be learning so I can help them learn further.

      Hello all,   I am student nurse and I think that having some knowledge of BSL is important incase some of my patients use it themselves. It will help me build a better relationship with them I feel.
