These sessions are aimed for BSL learners to maintain and develop their BSL productive and receptive skills in a friendly and supportive environment. Whether you are on a Signature approved course or just getting back into signing, we can support your learning and help you to build confidence when using and understanding BSL - without the pressure of exams! Perhaps you have had a gap in learning and want to refresh your BSL skills before joining your next BSL course. Or maybe you are happy with your current level of signing and don't wish to continue the accredited courses but would like to maintain your skills and develop your skills with other BSL users.

 

If this sounds like something you could benefit from, please contact admin@famlingo.co.uk for more information.
