South African Sign Language Lessons – Vegetables

Two weeks ago Thabo introduced you to a few basic signs relating to fruit, part of a healthy five-a-day diet.

In today’s South African Sign Language lesson he looks at another component of a healthy diet, vegetables. Needless to say, Thabo isn’t too keen on vegetables, while Leonie loves them.

We eat fruit all year round, hopefully as part of a healthy five-a-day habit, but summer always offers a wider variety of fruit. Not forgetting the exciting (and sometimes naughty) ways of eating fruit – a fruit sorbet, a FroYo, fruit salad, and even braai’d fruit kebabs.

In our latest South African Sign Language lesson, Thabo introduces you to a few basic signs relating to fruit, including bananas and tomatoes. Watch and learn.

DTV Sign Language – Conversational Skills Part 16

Who doesn’t love a party? Whether you are hosting one yourself, or have been invited to one, there is always a lot to plan, and so much excitement. Music, decorations, food, and the guest list; all of these things need to be decided on beforehand, and they all need to complement each other.

And then there’s your outfit! Forget the tuxedo and sequined dress when it’s a braai, or pool party, but don’t dare show up at a formal dinner party in shorts!

But perhaps most important of all is remembering to have fun, and to socialise.

Thabo discusses all of this in our latest South African Sign Language lesson¹, so watch and learn.

¹ Thabo does not discuss outfits, but does hope that you will always select the right outfit for the occasion.

DTV Sign Language – Conversational Skills Part 15

In Lady Windermere’s Fan, Oscar Wilde has Lord Darlington utter the wonderful line

we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

and although there are many ways of interpreting this line, I like to think of it in terms of personal goals and dreams. Having personal goals and dreams are important as they help us grow and develop. Some of them must be achievable in the short-term, but some of them can quite easily be wild and extravagant; what remains important is that we always celebrate the goals we achieve, and the dreams that we realise, rather than just lamenting those that we do not.

In this week’s South African Sign Language lesson, Thabo introduces us to discussions around goals and dreams.

DTV Sign Language – Conversational Skills Part 13

We spend our whole lives learning: new skills, new languages, even new habits. Our curiosity, our quest for knowledge, is often influenced by what we learnt at school – both our favourite school subjects, and our least favourite.

In our latest South African Sign Language lesson, Thabo discusses school subjects.

Watch. And keep learning.
