Introduction - brand new to BSL & forums!

Hello!

My name is Ella and I currently live and work in London. One of the very first things that I have absolutely loved about living in London is the experience of so many different cultures, which obviously includes languages. I have always wanted to be fluent in at least one other language and have never done anything about it - now is that time! I work in a customer facing role and I don't see that changing any time in the near future - even if it does, any role will require communication with others. I have always felt ashamed that I haven't bothered to learn another language properly and BSL seems so neglected that it seems like a good place to put wrongs to rights. Rather than a verbal language that always makes me embarrassed with accents and annunciation, I suddenly decided to learn BSL! I believe if I can get confidence in this then I will be more inclined to not use embarrassment as an excuse anymore and broaden my horizons - proving I can still learn another skill!

    • Gisteren kwam ik via een reclame op social media terecht bij een goksite. Ik was een beetje sceptisch, maar nieuwsgierig genoeg om het uit te proberen. Ik ben altijd al een fan van roulette en dit was een mooie gelegenheid om het opnieuw te spelen https://redonbet.be. Toen ik eenmaal het spel begon, viel het me meteen op hoe vloeiend alles verliep. De interface was duidelijk en de inzetopties waren gevarieerd. Het leek allemaal goed, maar mijn eerste paar pogingen gingen niet zoals ik had ge
    • thanks you guys for this
    • Hi there, My name is Trixie and I'm learning BSL to keep my brain active. Many years ago, I was learning South African sign language and I loved it! I stopped when I left SA and life has been fairly tumultuous since then. We recently learned that my husband will most likely lose his hearing in the next 20 years or so (he has already lost hearing in one ear completely), so I want to be prepared. It's also good for my ageing brain to learn a new language, so I'm diving in with enthusiasm and
    • Hi there, I'm learning BSL at the moment and I've found four different signs for "favourite" online at signbsl.com: 1 - two thumbs up making small cycling motion with each other in front of chest 2 - thumbs of dominant hand taps chin twice 3 - both thumbs start at chin, then move outwards and downwards 4 - thumb of dominant hand on chin, thumb of secondary hand held lower down in front of chest, then both hands move downwards away from the body Now here is a fifth vers

    • I work in a Clinic anf feel that BSL would be extremely useful. I was inspired to learn after watching Old Hands New Tricks with Rose Ayling- Ellis. Ive just started the course so any help or advice would be welcome. Steve
    • So I downloaded the https://plinko.com.my/app just to see what my brother was ranting about last week. Honestly? I wasn’t even expecting to like it. But I got hooked. The tension when the ball drops into higher payout slots is such a tease. I live in Malaysia and it’s not always easy finding fair online games in English, but this one felt surprisingly balanced. Won enough to treat myself to a cheeky bubble tea run.
    • Vi uma propaganda no Insta do Playoro, nome me chamou atenção. Entrei pra ver se era confiável e encontrei um site que explicava tudo bem direto. Mostrava quais os jogos mais populares, bônus de boas-vindas e como funcionava o saque. Gosto quando não precisa procurar info em 10 lugares. Me cadastrei e fui testando aos poucos. Achei bem justo.
