Amazing course

This is an amazing, basic course if you want to start learning British sign language. Really simple and easy to follow videos, great plan as you can learn at your own pace and you can retake the tests as many time as you need.

I absolutely loved this course! I liked the structure and found it easy to learn from. I also liked how it provides information about the context surrounding BSL as well as the language itself. It also covers sentence formation and grammar rather than just individual pieces of vocabulary.

A fantastic on-line course for so little cost. This BSL course rewards you with so much knowledge, understanding in Deaf/deaf awareness and culture. The rewards are boundless. I have gone from not knowing and BSL signs, to confidently attempting to start communicating in BSL. You even get a 20-hour CPD (continuing professional development) accreditation on completion of the course. Thanks to all the team at British-sign.co.uk. I have all ready enrolled in a local BSL Level 1 evening class this Autumn and cannot wait to progress even further!

I have enjoyed this course so much. Me and my mum have been learning as I needed it for DofE and we thought it would be cool to speak to each other using sign language. It was easy to follow and very entertaining. If I had the time to redo this I would and I am definitely going to carry on learning. Everyone should learn BSL as it is so interesting to see. xoxo
