Level Three BSL Cancelled
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!
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, [...]
Ed Sheeran – You Need Me I Don’t Need You, BSL music video
I’ve been a huge fan of singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran since seeing his SB.TV debut on YouTube over a year ago and having seen him live twice this year I can’t proclaim his brilliance much more than I already do. However, I was recently blown away by the video for his next single, coming out in [...]
Level Two Appeal & Results
So the last you heard I was about to appeal my level two, 203 exam results, which was my conversation about food and drink a while back. Thankfully, I recieved a call last week to say that the decision had been made and my appeal was successful, meaning I only needed to pass 202 (the [...]
203 exam results
So. I failed. I received a phone call last week to let me know that I didn’t pass my 203 BSL exam, which was the conversation on Food & Drink. I was completely shocked when I found out, as I’d practiced as much as I could, wasn’t nervous or anxious about the exam before hand and felt [...]
202 exam & End of BSL Level Two.
So, I took the last of my level two exams on Monday night. A 3-4 minute presentation on one of three topics from your chosen theme (my theme was Travel & Holidays and my topic was “Being Lost”). I have to say, I found the entire experience completely horrific! I was suddenly extremely nervous when I [...]
203 exam – Food & Drink
So I took my second Level Two BSL exam last night, the topic was Food and Drink (others were Travel & Holidays or Shoppping & Spending) and the theme for my exam, which consists of a 6-7 minute conversation in BSL with my tutor, was “Trying new food and drink”. There were 2 other themes [...]
V. Fresh, 201 results & Deaf Volunteers in Blackpool.
Just a quick update on my previous blog, to say that I passed 201 with 12/12! I’m really proud of myself for doing so well, and want to congratulate my other class mates who passed with me. Now to prepare for 202 and 203! On a separate note, I went to Blackburn on Friday afternoon, navigated their [...]
Merry Christmas!
With only 4 days left until Christmas I thought I’d post a quick message to wish you all a Merry Christmas and spread some BSL festive cheer. Last night was my Level 2 BSL class Christmas Party, where we learned lots of festive signs, from mistletoe (and wine) to Father Christmas and we even signed [...]
