My story for learning Bsl


Angel

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone I have only recently (August 2016) found out I needed hearing aids I am Hoh I can hear slightly without my aids.

since January 2017 I have been trying to get into a deaf social group or speaking with other  deaf people face to face. I have looked within my local area and I have realised that unless you are under 16 or older than 50 you have no groups or anything to speak with people who may also have issues with hearing.

This has pushed me to learn BSL I want to make sure people who are Deaf Hoh or need to sign to communicate are not isolated and I am even looking into volunteers for signing interpreters I know I will need at least basic level 1 to do anything with the public but for now I'm just learning.

I have just learned my alphabet and I'm currently doing my numbers 1-20 my husband again has been a great help I have only been signing 6days and I think I am doing well 

anyway this is my story and I hope it helps and inspired others to either learn or carry on using Sign language.

 

I will post one picture of my hands me signing the letter S it's the only image I have of me signing

Hi there,

I want to learn it because whenever I see someone who can't speak and struggling to make understand his/her views but unable to express so there I find that if I can help him, it will be so proud moment for me that I can understand him and can translate his/her views to the others.

    • Hi , Iv always wanted to learn bsl , would be ideal for my job
    • My name is Sarah, I have always wanted to learn BSL, since i first did fingerspelling at 2ndary school (a long time ago now!), two years ago we employed a Deaf team member, who has been teaching us signing, and we had a 6 week course, but i would love to learn to communicate better with my Deaf colleague, so i can support her
    • Trying to get into teaching with SEN I have 2 sen children myself and had to learn makaton to communicate and just want to further that communication on to the next level. 
    • I found https://www.flirtini.com/asian.html while browsing for something a little different. I’d never really explored this kind of niche before, but something about it drew me in. The site makes it easy to start chatting right away, and the energy is sexy but relaxed. The women I’ve met so far are playful, curious, and not shy about what they want. It’s such a fun vibe — the kind that keeps you hooked longer than you planned.
    • Hi all I am Stella.  I am retired with two dogs who keep me very busy.  I have Menieres disease and five years ago I woke up and found I was totally deaf. My hearing never returned and I have felt isolated since then. I have started learning BSL on line this week and hope to join a course in September.  I have a long way to go but now I see some light at the end of the tunnel. 
    • Frankly, it's really worth finding such a site, because it can certainly help solve problems
    • It would really help me a lot, because I have been looking for a place for a long time
    • Hey Guys! I'm Alex and I'm 18. I first became fascinated with BSL and interested in learning it when my mum became a teacher. She teaches SEN and is very passionate about ensuring Special Needs children experience the same level of understanding and communication of education as everyone else.
