My reason behind learning BSL

I have always been interested in learning to sign, but became really dedicated to learning BSL properly when I met my partner who is deaf; although she communicates really well verbally she also likes to use BSL alongside this, and sometimes this is an easier way for us to communicate depending what setting were in/noise levels etc. As well as this my partner has a lot of deaf friends who all use BSL, so through starting this course it enables me to communicate with them a lot better and understand what's being said in conversations, although I'm still getting used to how fast some people sign! I am also starting a Nursing degree soon, so feel being able to sign would be beneficial for my career and for supporting/ interpreting for those that do have a hearing impairment :)

      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.
