Learning for fun


Recommended Posts

I’m learning for the joy of learning right now. I am really enjoying the British Sign Introductory modules and I’m teaching my children, when I can, as I go along (bath time is a hit for learning new signs!).

I can highly recommend the Rose Ayling-Ellis Signs for Change documentary on the BBC - really eye-opening, informative and enjoyable.

    • 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.
