Introducing myself

Recommended Posts

Hi, introducing myself - my name is Sam, I'm very nearly 47 years old. I work with customers everyday and more and more am finding that we have hard of hearing or deaf customers who are coming into branch, who adapt brilliantly to our lack of skill of being unable to communicate with them. So I decided to challenge myself and my aging brain to learn something new and to learn BSL to try and make their experience in our branch a bit better.

    • Hi! For this, personally, I would use "Sign (fingerspell word) what?" If you need a video I can attach one
    • for sibling it's signed brother-sister in quick succession, so you could use that, or do "non-binary brother-sister" - and for offspring it is children, like patting the air down in front of you starting with your hands next to each other and patting outwards
