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.
Katia Martin
This is the perfect start towards BSL. Good explanations for the handshapes. Very Interesting.
