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, [...]
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 [...]
Level Two Log Book, 201 exam and learning experience!
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 at work & Pre-level Two
On Tuesday of last week I started my new job as a checkout operator at my local supermarket and had my first experience with a Deaf person, outside of the people I’ve been introduced to through learning BSL. On my first shift on the till (without supervision) I was asking an older female customer if [...]
BSL Level Two
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 [...]
