Level Three BSL Cancelled

Posted by lally on September 29, 2011 in British Sign Language

Unfortunately it looks as though my Level Three BSL qualification is going to have to wait, as it seems there wasn’t enough uptake on the course I was enrolled in. I’m not too down about it, but I am going to try and get to more BSL events and keep up my practice until another [...]

Getting rusty already!

Posted by lally on September 6, 2011 in British Sign Language

So this week I’ve been working in a computer shop in Blackpool, covering for a member of staff who is away on holiday. When I first went to the shop I noticed a sign for foundation BSL courses on the till, being run by Fylde Coast BSL. When I asked who put the poster up, [...]

Level Two Log Book, 201 exam and learning experience!

Posted by lally on February 17, 2011 in British Sign Language

So once again, let me apologise for neglecting the blog for so long, but study seems to take up a disproportionate amount of my time of late, hopefully it’s all worth it! So a few things that I’ve recently thought “I’ll blog about that” and never got around to include the following; The child in [...]

BSL level two & Barcamp London 8

Posted by lally on November 2, 2010 in British Sign Language

So this week I attended my second level 2 BSL lesson. Firstly let me tell you; it’s hard! Much harder than I was expecting. The first thing that took me by surprise was the fact that we are not allowed to use our voices during lessons. This means you have to sign everything, and what [...]

Barcamp Blackpool 2 & d/Deaf Awareness Week.

Posted by lally on July 4, 2010 in British Sign Language

It’s been a very long time since I last blogged about BSL, so let me first apologise for my absence. The last six months have been pretty hectic, but as Deaf Awareness Week draws to a close I thought an update was in order. I learned of Deaf Awareness Week via Twitter. I follow @DeafStuffUK [...]

BSL Level Two

Posted by lally on February 5, 2010 in British Sign Language

Firstly, let me apologise for the lack of posts this year, however 2010 hasn’t quite gone as planned. My BSL level two qualification started in January, however I had to make the decision whether or not to start the course when I had other family commitments that required my full attention. Having spoken to my [...]

Deaf Club & Teaching Foundation

Posted by lally on November 15, 2009 in British Sign Language

So I went along on Friday night to the Devonshire Arms in Bispham for the last Deaf Club of 2009. I wasn’t very active on the night and spent most of my time watching rather than engaging in conversations, as I felt a little bit rusty, but did manage to follow most of the conversations [...]

Posted by lally on November 10, 2009 in Any Other Business, British Sign Language

Found out yesterday that my level two BSL classes will be postponed until the new year ~14th Jan so people can get Christmas out of the way before we start. It’s actually worked out pretty well for me, even though I miss my classes and the time to practice, it gives me the chance to [...]

Barcamp Blackpool – “An Introduction to BSL”

Posted by lally on November 1, 2009 in British Sign Language

I mentioned in my “About me” page an event called Barcamp Blackpool, which I attended in October 2009. Barcamp is what is known as an “unconference”. The primary theme is technology but you get a range of people attending the events from far and wide. I went to Blackpool as a first time attendee of [...]
