Hi I am Karen.

 

I really enjoy learning sign language and have studied it before but my knowledge is very rusty hence now refreshing.  I would like to continue learning and progressing within sign language to develop my understanding further and utilise it to support others.

Hi I am Olivia and I have just started learning BSL as part of my DoFE award. I am really enjoying it so far and I am picking it up quite well. I have suffered with my hearing since i was a young child and have had 3 operations to fix it. This is important to me as it helps raise awareness and make me more understanding of people in even worse situations than mine was.

Hi, my name is Eimear

I'm currently learning BSL at the minute as it's a nice language to have and learning the language is helpful because you never know who you are going to meet or have to assist. I'm enjoying learning BSL because I know that it will be used in the future as I am hoping to do nursing and it is helping me to improve my communication skills.
