It's disability discrimination here in UK.

US deaf people are much more spreaded out in US than in UK and Denmark, so therefore, less support in real life situations as such as hearing loop and TV channel programme. I do believe Denmark has their own deaf programme on national channel (Source: Me in 10 years ago) like UK does. US has...

DDA is similar to ADA and we also can apply for "Access for work" if we ever need to have an interpreter for in workplaces (Temporary).

Just from this forum and YT videos, I think US deaf people generally are more isolated from hearing world than UK'ers. So, this deaf culture is important to them. As for UK deaf people, we have our own deaf culture, but we are also usually assimilated to hearing people, and thus the reason why...

Shame it's not enough for my coursework. Nope, I only know John Hay, he's lecturer in Wolverhampton Uni but he usually goes to Gallaudet Uni. Would be watching the YT videos enough?

London - Although I'd recommend you living somewhere in middle of England as there is a lot of events that are occurring everywhere in England just to reduce your travelling costs.

Well, I know the fact that most deaf schools actually has improved their education. The mainstream school actually has deteriorated recently. It has gotten to point where deaf schools are actually better than mainstream schools in terms of education.

Someone asked me to teach a class of hearing young people sign language. I actually never taught anyone, not even maths or English. So... Do you know any tips that would be useful/helpful for me to teach? I do not use my own voice and I always communicate in BSL mainly. When I say...

Yes. :)

Level 1 BSL isn't even that much. In level 1 BSL, you are required to learn alphabets (Not fluently) and ability to read and sign the basic/important signs which are usually <50 signs.

I never knew anyone who has left the Islam. But I know many deaf people who converted/reverted to the Islam, especially females despite to common stereotype of women being oppressed in Islam according the media.

Shariah law can be used as an alternative to English common law IF both parties agree on the law, otherwise English common laws will be applied. So, both parties have to agree.

Nope, I only learned that on GCSE, and later I chose not to learn physics at college. In GCSE, they only teach you the most important parts, ignoring some "useless" or "hard" informations according the GCSE specification. Thus why I only learnt half of it. True, but I believe evolution is less...

I think in UK it's much more higher. There are many deaf people who live with their family and earn DLA money to buy iPhone and other expensive items while not doing anything. I've even seen someone go a step further than that, they move to expensive house, earn DLA, housing benefit and JSA...

Hmm, do you know what? Something like this really offends me due to ignorance of people who thinks they know well on this matter when they are not. I'll explain to you why Muslim/Islam is nothing to be worried about: 1. The linked you posted shows Muslims wants Sharia law court for Muslims...

I usually wear them, but not for communication but for hearing when someone tries to talk me or I hear weird noises. I can live without them :)

Met some of my favourite interpreters who work for interpreter's company. They said their deaf customers usually bring the BSL interpreters over to US to interpret.

I have many Muslim friends and none of them wear the veil. Most of them wear hijaab which is requirement in Islam and I see no problem with that. However, if veiled women tried to talk me, I would try do pen and paper / mobile method. This has happened to me quite few times and all times I've...

Interesting. I didn't get to judge as everyone wears the same clothes as mine when I was at school.

Yes for ASL interpreters, but BSL? Most of posters here said they have never seen an interpreter with an ability to sign in BSL. By the way, terp = interpreter?
