When i was about 7 years old, my friend taught me the alphabet using Sign (she'd learnt it from St johns ambulance). Throughout our childhood instead of sending notes in our class we would fingerspell every word to each other! My Nan always told me to do something more with it, because of how quickly i picked it up, but i never had the time. 

I used to work as an entertainer at a holiday park and a little girl was lost who was deaf, she seemed so frightened but i was able to fingerspell to communicate with her, she seemed so relieved. 

Now at 30 i feel like i'm ready to learn more and possible help other people communicate, if i can get to that level.

    • Thank you! I'll be enrolling in the online course offered on British Sign. I've not done it yet as I'm currently enrolled in a French course which finishes in 3 weeks. Then, when I'm back in the UK, I'll see how I can step up my learning. I guess there's no substitute for real-life, real-time human practice. Can't wait to get stuck in.
