934. Sign Language is Fascinating 👋 with Siobhan Dodd
About this episode
<p>Have you ever wondered about sign language, how it works and if it is similar to other languages like English? In this conversation I speak to Siobhan Dodd who is a sign language interpreter between English and BSL (British Sign Language). Siobhan is an enthusiastic and entertaining guest and we have a great chat about the nature of sign language, the challenges & opportunities faced by the deaf community today, and some of Siobhan's memorable interpreting experiences, such as working at the Glastonbury music festival.</p><p>📄 PDF Transcript 👉 <a href="https://teacherluke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/934.-Sign-Language-is-Fascinating-with-Siobhan-Dodd.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://teacherluke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/934.-Sign-Language-is-Fascinating-with-Siobhan-Dodd.pdf</a></p><p>🔗 Episode page 👉 <a href="https://teacherluke.co.uk/2025/05/06/934-sign-language-is-fascinating-with-siobhan-dodd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://teacherluke.co.uk/2025/05/06/934-sign-language-is-fascinating-with-siobhan-dodd</a></p><p>🏆 LEP Premium 👉 <a href="https://lep.supercast.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lep.supercast.com</a></p><p>📸 Siobhan on Instagram 👉 <a href="https://www.instagram.com/unclesiobhan/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/unclesiobhan/</a></p><p>🎧 Siobhan's Podcast (The Following Through Podcast) 👉 <a href="https://pod.link/1797539101" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pod.link/1797539101</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
