Tracie-ann Haynes - 05 February 2021Enjoyable and Informative
I really enjoyed this beginners course for BSL. I plan on conintuing forward to make this a part of my teaching credentials. I plan to pursue this on a more indepth level.StephanieG - 04 February 2021Fun and thorough course!
The course has clear vidoes to watch that were easy to follow. Many signs had a comment underneath that connected the action of the sign to something familiar, which made it easier to remember. You will learn a lot of basic vocabulary as well as how to put sentences together which is really satisfying! Enrol now it's great 🙂Rebecca Hill - 28 January 2021LOVED IT! INTERESTING AND FUN
Great course! Like many here I’ve wanted to learn BSL. It was fun and easy to understand would defiantly recommend.Angie - 28 January 2021absolutely loved this course
I have really loved doing this course, it is certainly value for money. It is so easy to use, no pressure to complete any part, you can go back through every session as often as you need and believe me, you will be surprised how much you learn! I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn to sign.marion cain - 28 January 2021FUN, AMAZING, PERFECT
This course was great from start to finish. The layout is simple to navigate and very easy to follow. There's no limit to how many times you re-visit a section already completed. It's broken down into categorised sections, with videos on which you are aple to play in slow motion to make it easier. Wish I had discovered this course sooner!Aylis Coulson - 27 January 2021Really Great Course!
This has been such an enjoyable and easy course to follow! I have thoroughly enjoyed the simple layout, perfect for beginners! I can't wait to use everything I have learnt!Morgan - 26 January 2021A really fun and interesting course
I have absolutely loved doing this course, it's simple layout and easy to follow guide is perfect for beginners in sign language, I've done it through lockdown and it is a perfect way to keep busy! Now I'm hoping to be able to use this at work and in my community!Megan - 22 January 2021Loved It!
I've wanted to learn BSL for years and just never had the time. During the past year i've had had the time and more importantly, had FUN doing it. The course is fun, easy and simple. It's broken down into smaller parts to make it easier to practice each section before moving on. I would recommend it to anyone!Kirsty - 20 January 2021Great course
I have always wanted to learn BSL and have not been disappointed by this course. The course is well structured, clear and informative.I would like to see more conversation practise throughout the course similar to the final assessment and also to have one video clip of all the signs in each section, instead of having to click one each one when trying to recap. Otherwise a great course, thank you!
Ann - 17 January 2021Course review
This course is very good and informative. I enjoyed learning it.Islam Ahmed - 16 January 2021Amazing 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 2020
