Brilliant course
I really enjoyed this course. It's REALLY good value for money and I'm now working in a school where I can use my skills to communicate with the deaf children. I would totally get the Sign To Me CD-ROM if it was available for Mac as I don't have a PC but I will continue learning BSL and it will be useful when I am a speech and language therapist. Thanks!!Anita

Amazing course
This was a great course to learn the basics of BSL as well as cultural factors. The only aspect I would like to have seen different was more vocab quizzes throughout to help learn the signs and perhaps the end of chapter assessments could be laid out a little more like the final assessment - with whole sentences and picking signs out of that.Amy - 13 January 2021Perfect course
This course was a great introduction to sign language. Very easy to follow. Able to do in own time so no pressure and feels very rewarding. Has good content that could easily be used in different scenarios. Definitely recommend.Jade - 10 January 2021Well worth while!
I absolutely loved this course- working at my own pace in my own time definitely benefitted me as a learner as I was able to have fun with it and put in my own practice. Absolutely recommend- thank you!Maddison Ball - 09 January 2021Fantastic for revision
Absolutely loved this course as I needed to brush up on my BSL as I have not used it in over 8 years. Fantastic way to revise and even learn new signs.Mike Macrae - 07 January 2021Fantastic course
I really enjoyed completing this course, the content is easy to follow and broken down into managebale chunks so that you can really get words and phrases learned well. I have been wanting to study BSL for years and this was the pefect Introduction. Loking forward to putting what I learnt into practice. Thank you!Emily - 04 January 2021Fantastic introductory course
I really enjoyed this course. Its engaging, interesting, and almost addictive. I would recommend it to anyone who would like to gain an insight into BSL.One suggestion I would make is to have more challenging quizzes regarding conversation and grammar. For example having a vocab quiz or just individual signs and then a conversation quiz made up of full sentences at the end of each section. Sometimes it felt that the quizzes were too easy. The final quiz was more interesting and challenging and I think you should introduce more quizzes like that as that is essentially how to best learn the language in practice.
Otherwise its fantastic, thank you for providing it!
Callum - 31 December 2020Amazing
One of the best online learning classes I have done. Clear and easy to follow. The only improvement that I would like to see is that if you do get a question wrong for them to let you know what the right answer was - as this way you are able to learn from your mistakes easier. I would without a doubt recommend this to anyone!Chelsey - 19 December 2020Fun and addictive!!
A wide range of phrases and words learnt, easy to understand and the videos were clear and regular quizzes keep to you thinking!Poppy Stratman - 15 December 2020Educational Course
I really enjoyed learning everything on this course which as heighten my knowledge which is excellent. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn sign language. only thing i would suggest going forward is to have more conversational videos putting what you have learnt so you can see the flow of how things should be done and in what order. But other than that fantastic.Reanna Gordon - 15 December 2020Introducing BSL
I thought the course covered a huge amount of vocabulary and the assessments were challenging but not so difficult that they would put you off.Janice Walsh - 11 December 2020Outstanding

Adam Millington - 30 November 2020Amazing course!
I enrolled onto this course mid-summer this year to refresh my memory of BSL from 2 years ago. It is such a useful tool to recap vocab and the syntax of questions - and all for a decent price! I am still currently referring back to the contents of this course as I am now working towards a Level 1 qualification in BSL. I would definitely recommend it to those that want to learn something new and/or discover other ways of communication whilst learning about the culture.Shavana - 29 November 2020Brilliant!
I thought the course was excellent! It was great value for money, it was clearly laid out and explained well, but it was challenging too, which made it feel like I was actually learning and benefitting from it.Freddie Schunmann - 24 November 2020Perfect!
This was a perfect course, especially to be able to learn at home during lockdown. There are different lessons with easy to understand videos teaching you different signs. Would definitely recommend.Jessica - 22 November 2020great course!!
