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!Eleanor - 28 June 2021VERY 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!Claudia - 23 June 2021Cannot 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.Elizabeth - 21 June 2021Enjoyable and accessible
Great way to begin learning sign language, was easy to follow and revisit over time. Would 100% recommend!Niamh - 21 June 2021Amazing
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.Jayne Pizzilli - 18 June 2021Amazing 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!Izzy - 18 June 2021Great 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.
Marcela Hanna - 16 June 2021Brilliant 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.Yvonne C - 14 June 2021introduction to BSL
An excellent and engaging learning experience.very clearly laid out and easy to follow.Ralph - 08 June 2021Highly recommend
A brilliant and engaging course! It was well organised and easy to follow.Emily - 04 June 2021A fantastic intro to BSL!
A fantastic introduction to BSL with useful links and information. The course is broken down into units with an assessment at the end of each unit (this can be taken as many times as you want). The instructions and videos are clear. There is even a handy mirror tool using your webcam so you can check what the actions would look like to another person. I completed this over a year - there are lots of signs to learn so important not to rush it. Would love there to be a level 2 online course. Would highly recommend!Shannon - 03 June 2021Easy to follow!
Fantastic course that allows you to study at your own pace. You can revisit lessons as often as you can and it contains all the essentials! The lessons all have videos which show the signs as well as little tips on how to remember them. Thoroughly recommend!Chloe Thomas - 02 June 2021Fun and Encouraging!
