    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.

Frequently asked questions

Can’t find the anwser you’re looking for ? Reach out to customer support team.

How long does it take to become proficient in British Sign Language (BSL)?

Becoming proficient in BSL varies depending on various factors like dedication, practice, and learning pace. Generally, achieving basic conversational skills might take around 6 months of consistent learning. Mastery and fluency, however, could take several years of ongoing practice and immersion.

Is British Sign Language (BSL) different from American Sign Language (ASL)?

Yes, BSL and ASL are distinct languages with unique grammar, vocabulary, and syntax. BSL is primarily used in the United Kingdom and has its own linguistic structure, while ASL is used in the United States and Canada. Learning one doesn't necessarily mean proficiency in the other.

Are there different dialects or variations of British Sign Language (BSL)?

Yes, there are regional variations in BSL, just as there are in spoken languages. Different areas might have slightly different signs or expressions. However, the fundamentals of BSL remain consistent, allowing communication across regions.

Can anyone learn British Sign Language (BSL)?

Absolutely! BSL is a language open to everyone, regardless of age, background, or ability. It's a visual language that can be learned by anyone willing to dedicate time and effort to understand and communicate through signs and gestures.

Are there any career opportunities for those who learn British Sign Language (BSL)?

Yes, learning BSL can open doors to various career paths. Opportunities exist in education as sign language interpreters, in healthcare as communication support workers, within the deaf community as advocates or counsellors, and in various customer service roles. Proficiency in BSL can be an asset in many fields aiming for inclusivity and accessibility.
