Hi everyone, my name is Jamielee and I have just started to learn BSL. I have 2 brothers who both wear hearing aids and can sign but growing up I never really felt the need to learn it as they could still communicate with me verbally. As part of my job I am an inclusion and diversity champion and working with the public I thought this is a great way that I can develop myself to help others feel more included in my Work place.

Hi, I'm Jo and have today starting learning BSL. My brother is deaf and as a child I wanted to learn BSL but as my brother never learned, it just never happened. He has always got by using lip reading. After completing my Teaching Assistant course last year, and watching the amazing Rose on Strictly I decided to go for it. I also figured it could be a valuable skill as a TA.

      Introducing Myself

      By alexseenqqw · Posted

      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.

      "Be right back"?

      By Lead Academy · Posted

      n British Sign Language (BSL), to say "Be right back", you can sign it informally as: 👉 “SOON COME BACK” or “COME BACK SOON” Here’s how: SOON – Tap your index finger against your cheek or use a quick gesture for "short time". COME BACK – Point outward (to show you're leaving) and then curve your hand back toward your body. Alternatively, you can fingerspell "BRB" for an informal or digital-style way.

      Website for you

      By gerta23 · Posted

      While traveling from Chennai to Bangalore by train, I got bored and started browsing casual games. That’s when I found aviator bet. Since the rounds are so short, it’s perfect for filling up a few minutes without needing a solid Wi-Fi connection. Plus, the game loads fast, which really helped because the network was patchy most of the way. Super handy for travel.

      Hey, I just wanted to share my experience with you all. I found this site through a colleague who mentioned it at work. The aviator bet game intrigued me because it seemed like a fun, no-pressure game. I’ve had a blast playing it and, to my surprise, ended up with a decent win. It’s definitely a great way to relax and unwind. So far, I’m very satisfied with the experience.
