i would recommend everyone who are intrested to learn sign language.
British sign language can be difficult to learn since it is very complex so I did not expect that I would be learning a lot from here. Thank you very much for providing a level 1 and 2 sign language course. I can say that I was able to save since it’s already a 2-in-1 course.
I really enjoyed this course. The instructor did a wonderful job teaching in a clear manner that I could understand and I really like the practice lessons and will be using those every day to get better at BSL.
A perfect basic introduction to BSL. I took it to learn the basics for any deaf patient’s.
David Metcalfe
Completed level 1 and about to start level 2 of this training. So far so good. I’d definitely give it the thumbs up.
