Hey Everyone,

I'm excited to be writing my wee story for you all!

I have started learning BSL after being introduced to the deaf community through my new job. I work for a company who provides VRS and VRI services.

So far learning BSL has given me a broader insight into all aspects of BSL and has really benefitted me, in particular learning to acknowledge my deaf colleagues and how they like to communicate with those in the hearing community. I hope that after I complete the BSL course I will be able to use BSL well and have more connecting communications with my colleagues and others in the deaf community. 

I look forward to reading all your introductions on SLF!

Thanks 

SharonDavie

      I’m kelly I’m a mechanic/ mot tester, I had a Deaf customer in the garage a year or so ago and found it frustrating that I could not understand him or communicate back. So I have taken this course to improve my understanding x

      Hi, My Names Victoria and im currently doing the online introduction to sign language course. My husbands cousin is Deaf and despite the fact i have picked up on a lot of signs and able to communicate, i really wanted to try and learn properly alongside a qualification. I am also looking into possibly becoming a midwife and would love to be able to use this within a healthcare field.  Thanks for reading x

      Hi there! My name is Sarah and I have just moved back to the UK after 25 years living in the USA. I am a behaviour specialist and I frequently work with children with autism who have speech and language difficulties. I learned American Sign Language while in the USA to help communicate with the children I work with, and my daughter bought me the BSL course when I knew I was coming home. It's so interesting to compare the two and once I have completed this course, I'd love to sign up for a Makaton class as well! Lockdown is the perfect time to learn new things while job hunting!
