Xpat Opinion: Signing In A Bilingual Home In Budapest

I am a big fan of baby sign-language. I like it on many levels. My first encounter with sign-language happened in Ireland while working with autistic children. It was such a great help to be able to communicate with these children. Years later, when I heard about baby sign-language from an American friend, I got very interested as it fit right into my new field of work; moms and babies. So for ...

- 20 Dec 2012 8:00 AM
- community & culture
Budapest citizens shivering in the dank cold this winter are lucky enough to be able to enjoy a beakerful of the warm South at the Cezanne show in the Fine Arts Museum.
