British Sign Language For All

This free course for adults is ideal for anyone curious about British Sign Language (BSL). BSL is a visual-gestural language: it relies on handshapes, facial expressions, and body language to convey meaning and plays a vital role in communication.

This course is ideal for people who would like an introduction to BSL, who would like to learn more about the Deaf community, and/or communicate effectively with a family member, friend or colleague with hearing loss and to have fun while doing so.

For adults aged 19+ years
