BSSL Training — Level 1
Go from zero signs to real, everyday conversation in one term.
Level 1 is where most of our learners start. You'll finger‑spell fluently, introduce yourself, ask and answer questions and hold a genuine conversation with a Deaf signer — all taught live by Deaf tutors who use this language every day.

What you'll be able to do
