Life From The Front - Dispatches From Viking Bay: Deafness, Batteries and a Cochlear Implant I've had the good fortune of interviewing Lissa Waring, blogger and Cochlear Implant wearer, about her life and her CI. I've uploaded the interview to my blog - apologies I can't put it...

Hi all, Bit of a long post this one, about my visit to London on Saturday - I mention my deaf studies and dyspraxia in there, because both touched on my day - and how impressed I was with the Science Museum's Deaf Awareness. Life From The Front - Dispatches From Viking Bay: A 10 Year Old's...

Life From The Front - Dispatches From Viking Bay: Conversations With BSL - A Personal Account Hi guys ... this is a very personal blog entry from me about how my BSL learning is going so far.

Hey, have just written about being a hearing person learning about BSL dialects - I've been finding it really interesting and wanted to share :-) Life From The Front - Dispatches From Viking Bay: BSL Dialects

Actually felt like I did some good today - helped people and took executive decisions in my job ... all this, despite the fact I'm being made redundant in eight weeks! Now THAT'S dedicated!

I'm thinking about where I want my life to be in five years, and I've got a pretty good idea - now all I've got to do is work blooming hard to get there!

Hi guys, I was writing about BSL and SSE for some hearing friends, to try and explain the difference to them, and so I thought that I'd put it in my blog for people to read and give their opinions, to see if I've got it about right! Life From The Front - Dispatches From Viking Bay: BSL v SSE

I have to admit - one of the first things I taught myself on Youtube was the swear words of BSL! I could never ask my teacher, of course, but they've come in useful a couple of times ... and I think it's always useful to recognise these signs! I've written about it too - Life From The Front -...

Fantastic - thank you. I'm following the thread and it's incredibly interesting - just really sad that it's been cancelled.

This may sound stupid, but I'd never heard of the Deaflympics until recently - it's only because I was reading a Deaf news site on Facebook that I realised it was even happening! I was really gutted to see that the 2011 Winter Deaflympics due to lack of funding - and I was also really sad...

Hi - thank you for messaging me, I'm so happy you've read my blog and like it! What SEN school do you work at? I live in the south coast too - in Kent. Do you ever go to the Deaf pubs?

Hi Lorena - are you hearing or deaf? I'm hearing, but am really doing my best to learn as much as I can - level 2 is definitely part of the plan!

Hi guys - would it be okay if I posted a link to my latest blog entry here, about my visit to a local Deaf pub for the first time? I'm hearing, but I'm immersing myself in the Deaf community as I learn BSL and I'm loving meeting new people - and experiencing new things like Deaf pubs! I'd...

Hello, How are you? I'm in the south-east of England and doing my best to learn level one sign language. It's tough, but I'm loving it. I want to get more involved in the deaf community so that I can learn how to sign more fluently and make friends as well. I try and blog about my...
