This product contains a book and DVD. Do you want to be able to
understand and use British Sign Language confidently? All you need
is this best-selling course. Learn everyday, useful BSL through
real-life situations that make the grammar and vocabulary easy and
memorable. Hundreds of line illustrations throughout the book and
constant references to video clips on the DVD make learning fast
and fun. British Sign Language (BSL) is used in the United Kingdom.
The number of Deaf people in the UK using BSL has been put at about
50,000; there are in addition many more hearing people who use BSL
to communicate with Deaf users. Sign languages are not related to
spoken languages and BSL is completely different, for example, from
American Sign Language. Sign language conveys meaning through the
use of space and movement of the hands, body, face and head. We
know that many hearing people are keen to learn BSL (it is a very
popular evening class course, for example). But there is a lack of
good teaching materials written in English for hearing learners of
BSL, which this course fills. Get Started in British Sign Language
follows the BSL curricula taught currently in colleges (Council for
the Advancement of Communication with Deaf People CACDP and
Institute of BSL) and therefore will be able to be used as support
material by learners, as well as providing a complete grounding in
the structure and grammar of BSL. Flexible Learn in your own time
and at your own pace Time saving Learn quickly with one- and
five-minute essentials Expert Written by Deaf authors Informative
