Always wanted to learn!
I have really valued this course. I've always wanted to learn BSL. We use some makaton and couple of signs at home for my younger brother, but doing this course has given me more signs to teach him, and has really helped his vocabulary and speech come along. I have been learning during lockdown, weekly with friends over Skype, and we have loved being able to regularly meet and practice together. This has been a really invaluable kick-start for us to start learning, and we can't wait to learn more BSL! Thank you to all the team who have created this course.

Helpful and Interesting Course
I enrolled on the introductory BSL course as I was working in SEND schools where children used BSL and Makaton. This course has helped me to learn how to communicate with these children and understand their needs more than I did before. It is definitely something I will take with me into my future teaching career and I would recommend to anyone who has spare time and would like to learn BSL. Thank you!
