Hello everyone,

My name is Jess and I am a Primary School Teacher. In my job, I often come across children with additional needs and I'm interested to learn BSL so that I can communicate better with children who suffer from hearing loss. 

I am also a languages teacher and figured that I have invested time in learning a foreign language so why not therefore invest time in learning a language as valuable as BSL?

I am a little apprehensive after signing in to my new course BSL Levels one and two (which thankfully I have one year to complete) however, I am also very excited to begin a new journey and learn such an important skill.  I am a complete beginner!

If you have any advice or time to practise/ things to share with me, I would be immensely grateful.

Thanks and best wishes to you all.

Jess.

Hello Jess, I’m Peter at 87 profoundly deaf, been attempting to learn BSL for three years, watching videos, getting nowhere! However, this year I was introduced to www.signaturelearinghub.co.uk! Now galloping ahead! Jess, take a look at www.signaturelearinghub.co.uk. I took out a one year's subscription! The study elements are great, the dictionary comprehensive! I also use for addition vocabulary, YouTube, which has lots of free BSL learning material by different BSL instructors! Wishing good progress!   Peter

      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.
