Good on you! Are you going to monitor compliance? Or is that a stupid question (i.e. course you are!! 😉)

Save the Date: Summer School in Sign Language Studies at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin from July 21 through July 25, 2025. International SL and written English are working languages. IntSL: box.hu-berlin.de/f/680f6902d4... English: box.hu-berlin.de/f/0fc59d11b7...

Not much chance these past few weeks! 😔😕
