Foundation of British sign Language 6pm-7pm
Description
The Heart of the Course
We’ll learn, we’ll practice, and we’ll communicate together.
This 6-week course is relaxed, supportive, and fully guided—no prior experience needed. Meeting for one hour each week, you’ll be introduced to the basics of British Sign Language (BSL), learning everyday signs, simple conversations, and how to express yourself with confidence.
Each session builds step by step, with plenty of opportunities to practice, ask questions, and grow at your own pace. It’s a friendly and encouraging space where everyone is learning together.
More than just a course, it’s a chance to develop a new skill, connect with others, and become more inclusive in how we communicate.
Top Tips
Don’t worry about getting everything perfect—focus on learning and enjoying the process.
Practice little and often—repetition helps build confidence.
Be expressive—facial expressions and body language are part of BSL.
Ask questions—the tutor is there to guide and support you.
Encourage one another—learning together makes it easier and more fun.

FAQs
- Is there coffee?
Yes, absolutely coffee is available!
The course is hosted at Bert’s Books, a fantastic independent bookshop, and there’s a lovely in-house coffee stand where you can purchase drinks during your visit. We actively encourage attendees to support the store and enjoy everything the venue has to offer while you're there.
- Do I need to know sign language to take this course?
No, you do not need any prior knowledge of sign language to take this course. It is designed for complete beginners and will guide you from the basics through to holding a simple conversation.
As with anything, the more you put in, the more you’ll get out so practising in your own time each week is strongly encouraged.
- Do I get a qualification?
No, this course does not offer certification. It is taught by a qualified British Sign Language instructor who also delivers accredited courses, but this particular course is designed purely as an introduction. It focuses on practical learning in a classroom environment and does not lead to an official qualification.
- Can I change times week to week?
No, you cannot change times between weeks. The time you select when booking will remain the same for the entire duration of the course.
This is because each class has a set number of students, and we’re unable to accommodate switching between sessions week to week.
