Hello everyone,

My name is Joanne and i am a hearing person.  I have recently become a widow and wanted to do something that would be worth while, useful and keep me occupied.

I am employed in primary care and noted our practice doesn't have anyone who can sign.  I additionally live in an area that, doesn't have readily available interpreters' and it is a difficult process, sometimes we have to wait weeks, to get a booking with the attendee having to travel quiet a distance to us.  Thus causing delay for the patient.

My learning of BSL is not public knowledge to others, other than you all on here, at least until i am able to proficiently help someone who may need me. 

I am not looking to learn this for financial gain, but to be able to reassure and help if possible.

Thank you for reading.

    • Hi there! I'm Laila and I've just started a beginners course in BSL. I work in a nursery as a senco and one to one currently but hoping to move on to a different job role in a special school or a school setting. I've been fascinated by BSL for years now and I've finally decided to take the leap and start a course so here we are! I am already level 1, 2, 3 and soon to be level 4 trained in makaton in the new year but ive always loved watching people use BSL and even though I'm not deaf i still plan on signing as i speak to myself to ensure i dont forget any of it and i just find it fun to do anyway! I am a little suspicious of my hearing anyway as it isnt the best and i do have moments where i lose hearing in one of my ears for a few minutes at a time the longest being an hour and sometimes in both ears together so I'm looking into that but im so excited to finally be a BSL user and join this community
