Very Rewarding
A superb course which is designed to encourage enthusiasm, progression and success. Easy to access and a totally flexible way of learning. I was surprised by how much content is covered for an introductory course. What a wonderful language- thoroughly recommend!
Amazing!
I have just completed the 'Introducing BSL' course. It covers an amazing range of topics, such as introducing yourself, animals, places, food, relationships, and much more.It is amazing value for money and provides a solid foundation to help develop BSL skills. The simple quizzes at the end of each topic allow you to check-in on your knowledge of a topic and cement what you have just learnt.
Would recommend to everyone, especially due to the price and accessibility.

Really good course
The course is easy to follow and use even giving tips on how to remember infomation
Great course
I have really enjoyed this course, I would highly recommend it, and it has been an amazing introduction to BSL, which I hope to carry on studying in the future!
Brilliant
Brilliant introduction to BSL with useful links and info. The course is broken down into units with an assessment at the end of each unit which can be taken as many times as needed. I completed this over the year as something new to learn within covid lock down . There are lots of signs to learn so didn't want to rush. Would love there to be a level 2 online course. Would highly recommend!
Excellent Course - Could not recommend more!
This is an excellent introduction to BSL and I am so pleased I found it. The current pay-what-you-can price is incredibly generous for the wealth of resource you are getting! I will continue learning BSL and wish there was a second level I could take here as I really recommend this platform. Excellent course, thank you for creating it!
Enlightening
Really impressed with the course. The format made it easy to learn - and fit in around other responsibilities. I like that you are able to access all parts of the course at any time. It has made BSL seem much less daunting. I particularly liked that you can go from feeling you only know certain bits of standalone vocab to building sentences/phrases. Couldn't recommend enough.
Introduction to BSL
I have really enjoyed this course, and it was made more enjoyable with the chance to go over previous study and assesments.
Great course
I made it! Have just completed my final assessment of this course. Great introduction to BSL and I really appreciated being able to learn at my own pace. There was a lot to take in, but it felt really worthwhile. Thank you!
Excellent course
Great course, which can be done at your own pace. I have always wanted to learn BSL, this covers many topics. Videos are clear and the course was easy to understand. Would highly recommend!
thank you
Amazing introduction that gives a good basic understanding of BSL, organised into easy to follow categories with quizzes to test you throughout. The course is very engaging and informative while being something you can learn entirely at your own pace, highly recommend!
VERY GOOD
I would highly recommend! As well as covering words also covers basic grammar and time periods. Well structured and has useful tips such as wearing bands on your primary hand and to look at people's faces when they sign!
Cannot recommend this enough
I've thoroughly enjoyed learning this course. I now feel confident to have conversations and really look forward to continuing my learning.
Enjoyable and accessible
Great way to begin learning sign language, was easy to follow and revisit over time. Would 100% recommend!
Amazing
Amazing course, thoroughly enjoyed it, it's something I've wanted to do for a long time, I would recommend anyone to have a go.
Amazing course
This course was great! It only cost me £3 as I'm a student which is incredible value for money. The flexibility and way in which you can complete the course at your own pace suited me perfectly. Thanks BSL!
Great course! Very complete.
I decided to learn a bit of BSL when the pandemic started. They had a "pay what you can" scheme and I am really grateful for that.It's very easy to follow and pleasant to learn. What I liked the most were the signs for medical appointments. I think they achieved a great balance between signs you'll use daily and signs it's good to know because you may meet people from all backgrounds. It felt really inclusive without feeling like I was learning things I would never see again.

Brilliant course
Great starting place to learn BSL. Just completed the course after dipping in an out for a few months. Very user friendly website. Would be interested in pursing learning more BSL as this has helped my confidence.
