A few words Jun 2, 2025

I learnt a few words of Dutch Sign Language, which I used with my baby (because they can sign at an earlier age than speak), such as drink, eat, ball and sleep.

Just a few words Jun 2, 2025

Those I've picked up when openly (ensuring they knew I was) watching deaf people speaking on trains or anywhere else. That is aside from those I had learned from the Native Americans.

I never understood why people went out of their way to stock up on toilet rolls during covid.

Used it a bit in Sunday School Jun 2, 2025

Sign language is great to teach little ones songs with actions, and we often used them when teaching Sunday School. We also taught them signs such as for 'love', 'thank you', 'God', 'Jesus', and I still know these!
