Very useful
A really detailed and informative course! Great value for money and provides you with a good level of knowledge regarding sign language.
Amazing
Very much enjoyed this course. Very accessible, worth the time and money. Course is easy to follow and an incredible introduction to BSL. Wish more people would complete this course to at least have a basic understanding of BSL
Easy to use
I really enjoyed this course. My daughter was diagnosed with hearing loss at her newborn screening and I wanted to learn BSL to help communicate with her. There are a lot of useful signs to use with young children...animal, food, actions etc. I'd thoroughly recommend this course.
COMPREHENSIVE
A really fantastic introduction to sign language with loads of really useful vocabulary covering so many different eventualities. I have been using the course as a basis to get pupils interested in sign language at my school - they are all really enthusiastic and this has really encouraged them to practise amongst themselves and investigate it further. Really excited about BSL being so accessible to everyone (excellent value for money). I shall be signing up for the group membership for my next group of pupils (it wasn't an option before)!
BSL Introduction - Really Good Course
This was a great introduction to British Sign Language, it is flexible and easy to follow. It gave me all the basics and I would now love to learn more. I would highly recommend this course.
Very much enjoyed!
I really enjoyed this course, after being inspired by Rose on Strictly come dancing, I felt it was highly important that I became more aware of the deaf community. I would recommend this course to those who want to start their sign language journey.
FANTASTIC
Amazing course! Would not hesitate to recommend it - brilliantly put together and can be done in your own time. Thank you BSL for the opportunity to learn the basics of this skill!
Excellent Course
As a brand new learner, this course was exactly what I needed to kickstart my learning of BSL. Being introduced to the background of the language is such a great starting point to understand the rest. The videos were really useful and the associations were very helpful. I would absolutely recommend that anyone take this course to get to grips with the basics of BSL.
Great course!
This BSL course is amazing for learning the basics of sign language, and was definitely worth the time and money!
BSL Introduction
I am very happy the I have done this course an was pleasantly surprised that I have passed. I will continue to dip into the course from time to time as I am still within the year. I would recommend this course to everyone who has an interest in sign language, I find it more interesting than using another language as it benefits more people in the long run.
Highly recommend!
The Introducing BSL course is great value and highly flexible. It covers all the basics for a simple conversation and gives useful background information about Deafness that I would never have known otherwise. I completed the course with my partner and found it particularly useful and fun to have someone to learn with and practice alongside. Thank you for the opportunity!
Do it!
If you’ve ever considered learning sign language but just never got around to it, just do it! No more excuses. This course is great. Clear, fun and informative. I have learnt so much in a short time and feel inspired to keep learning. Thanks to Simon for being a great video tutor.
