British Sign Language - Absolute Beginners
This course gives an introduction to British Sign Language. It is aimed at those who have no, or very little, previous knowledge. We will concentrate upon learning greetings, how to introduce yourself and basic sentences. We will learn songs, watch videos, look at picture sequence stories and use flash cards, to help our receptive skills. Prosp User 3
