Vocabulary Videos - Sem. 1
These videos will help you keep up with the BSL taught in class each week. There will be some from the society, and other helpful videos from YouTube, so keep an eye out for new links!
Do remember that any videos uploaded by the society are from amateur signers, gathered from BSL courses, online resources, and other bits and bobs. They are mostly in the Edinburgh dialect, and intended for our beginner signers to refresh their memories. Drop us a message through the contact form if you think we've made a mistake, and we'll look into it!
Happy signing!
