BSL is also extensively used by people with healthy ears to support their deaf relatives and act as language interpreters. Taking the Introduction to British Sign Language Level 1 course will teach you BSL basics to effectively use head, body and facial movements.
If you are passionate about helping deaf people, then this course provides the best visual communication techniques using gestures and facial expressions.
