‘My BSL Journey’: Episode #1 – #10

By

Even though I have been learning BSL (British Sign Language) for a few months now, I was thinking about ways to make myself accountable.

It’s so easy to trail off your latest interests, passions and hobbies after the initial excitements. It’s no surprise that many people give up their New Year resolutions in February every single year.

Thankfully for me, I have continued to keep learning BSL but in order to keep myself accountable and also document my progress, I have decided to start ‘My BSL Journey’, which will document my journey as I learn British Sign Language.

‘The Silent Child’ Review – A moving & sweet story with a strong message

By

One thing for sure about The Silent Child; it managed to deliver a strong message at the end of the short 20-minute clip, right before the credits, with several different sobering facts.

The whole essence of the film is to highlight the importance of sign language to allow d/Deaf children to have the same experience and opportunities in life that other children would also have.

Not only managed to do that well in just 20 minutes, but they also bagged themselves an Oscar for it too

Wayne is also a huge advocate of having British Sign Language taught at school too and is campaigning to make it happen.
