Hello all! I'm starting an open-event in the BSL video chat room tab on Tuesday January 18th! This event is open for all to attend. Hope to see you there! -//Ekito// P.S. Icrebreaker; What's your name? What did you do this morning? What did you do today? There's lots of ways to engage in conversation via sign language, I find the best way is to sign slowly to build confidence. Have a wonderful day!
