talking

[marshlander]

Oh no! Although I know a few people who use Makaton I think the only signs I know are for "thank you" and "toilet" ... sometimes useful if I'm running a workshop with someone who signs rather than uses verbal language! Do you think I should learn Makaton, Joseph - not that that will help on the phone, of course ... eeek, do I have to get Skype as well???!!!

[joseph]

it must be very frustrating having to repeat everything joseph - different accents are sometimes very difficult to understand for some people which is not your fault at all, if they are having trouble understanding a sentence then try and say it using some different words if you can think of any -- a simple example could be " are you feeling ok" try saying " how are you today" they both mean the same thing really but the person might hear you better saying it using the second way, dont give up trying though joseph

I naturally talk very low and have to repeat myself all the time. Chances are I didn't have the energy to project my voice to you the first time so by the second I am pretty peeved

[joseph]

[matty7]

joseph - your absolutley not rubbish at talking or boring ...........i only came back on gayspeak a couple of days ago and the first thing i did was look at the places where you asked questions or where you started a new conversation - why !!!! because you always add great comments and are very interesting , plus you talk about real life things like what you did this week and you are always very nice to people on here - thats a very very good quality to have - - - just remember that if people ignore you then it is their problem and not yours mate...

[joseph]
