Hi,

My name is Esther and I studied Level 1 in Bristol earlier this year and started Level 2 in Bath in September.

I first learnt a little bit of BSL when I was about 9 or 10 - I found the BSL alphabet in the back of a dictionary and taught myself and then my brother so we could talk without my parents knowing what we were saying :D. I have been fascinated ever since and have learnt odd signs here and there from people or the internet.

When my son was little I taught him the alphabet and together we learnt a few useful words (Toilet, so he didn't have to yell out where he was going) and some useful shopping words such as Milk, Cheese and bread

I love learning BSL but do struggle with Receptive skills so always on the look out for recommendations re resources, websites, videos, clips etc.

      Website for you

      By ernando4324 · Posted

      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

      Interesting

      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.
