British Sign Language – Learn the basics with Let’s Discover IT.

Learning BSL is a great way to ensure you can communicate with anyone who has a hearing impairment.

Commanding Hands aims to teach people British Sign Language (BSL) for free. Their videos on the following pages will  help get us started.

Jenny Lai, a qualified sign language instructor, recommended these for us and can also recommend additional tutorials for us if we want to learn more in the future.
