Why I am learning BSL?

I have decided to learn BSL, as I think it is so important to be able to communicate with and include others, as I can only imagine how isolating being deaf must be. As a child, I had mild hearing loss, and relied solely on lip reading. I find other methods of communication so interesting. Going into the medical world, I think it will be good to know, and it can also be applied to other minorities. For example, I myself, I am Autistic and sometimes find verbal communication overwhelming. We use other forms of communication more than we think.

      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

      Life-long learning

      By Trixie · Posted

      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
