Family BSL course
Would your family benefit from learning sign language?
Our grant funded Family BSL courses are an inclusive and multi-generational way to learn BSL. Taught by experienced deaf tutors, you will learn enough vocabulary and grammar to have basic conversations, identify and understand everyday signs and create a strong foundation for future learning.
The aim of these classes is not only to teach BSL, but to strengthen communication and relationships within households containing a deaf young person, to encourage deaf young people and their families to develop deaf pride and to realise a positive deaf identity.
Who is eligible?
- Deaf children and young people, and their family members
- You must live in the same household, and live in Scotland
Course content
The BSL family course will cover:
- An introduction to British Sign Language
- Deaf awareness
- BSL storytelling
- BSL games
Our courses are all taught by qualified deaf tutors, so you’ll be learning from people who use BSL as their native language.
