British Sign Language (BSL) for Beginners
This course introduces a beginners guide to British Sign Language (BSL). It is aimed at those who have no or little previous knowledge.

We will concentrate upon learning fingerspelling the alphabet, greetings and how to introduce yourself.

The course also includes colours, numbers, time/money, family, timelines, weather, transport, feelings/emotions and directions, among other things, while improving grammar and fluency.

We will watch videos, look at picture sequence stories and use flash cards, to help our receptive skills. There will be some activity games too.
