Learning Medical BSL

On this page, we share the resources we used to learn BSL in addition to videos of ourselves teaching BSL.

Based on this picture of the alphabet in BSL, what word are we signing in the banner photo?

We bought a BSL course by the website ofcourse.com from which we learned the basics of BSL. We really liked how the course was structured and because it was online and taught via videos, it is easily accessible anywhere and we could pause, skip, or repeat parts of the video if needed. We highly recommend this course!

For finding words we wanted to know how to sign that were not in the OfCourse videos, we found the website signbsl.com very useful. We can type in the word we want to know into the search bar and multiple videos of people sign the word (in different ways) would come up. We found this especially useful for piecing together sentences for Medical BSL. The website is basically and BSL dictionary!

What follow are videos we made teaching BSL related to the healthcare setting.
