Hi am brand new to BSL and came into it from a strange way, my husband lost his sight in 2014 through illness and although he couldn't see anything he was still able to participate in all conversations and was still able to feel somewhat included in things going on.

He unfortunately passed away in 2020 and I have been at a bit of a loss in what to do with myself and have recently witnessed a number of BSL users/interpreters in different scenarios and remembered the inclusivity my husband had in conversation (even though it lacked in other aspects) and realised how important it is for everyone in society to feel heard and included so decided to look at a course on line and found the one ran by BSL 

I am really enjoying learning and hope to be able to use it effectively as and when needed (just hope I don't make too many mistakes!)

      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.

      Introducing Myself

      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.

      You're learning BSL because you want to communicate better—maybe with a Deaf friend, for work, or just to be more inclusive. That's awesome!

      Hello

      By WillowM · Posted

      Hello, I started to learn BSL a long time ago but stopped due to the cost involved. There are so many more resources available these days so I'm excited to be picking it back up again. WillowM
