Tomorrow night is our final BSL class!
6-7 and 7.15- 8.15 at Cafe Steinbeck

We can hardly believe our 2 session 6-week British Sign Language course with Emma from Deaf insights is coming to an end!

It has been such a valuable, enjoyable and informative experience, helping us learn new skills, improve communication and gain a greater understanding of the Deaf community. Hopefully we have gained more confidence as well to communicate easier with our deaf friends who I know appreciate any small effort made.

A huge thank you to Emma for sharing her knowledge, patience and enthusiasm with us, and a special thank you to Cafe Steinbeck for kindly supporting us and making these sessions possible.

We really hope everyone can make it tomorrow night for our final sessions. It’s been a fantastic journey, and we look forward to seeing you all there! 🥰🤟

What a fun night again at our BSL class!
It's been informative, enjoyable and full of laughs and I can safely say everyone is thoroughly enjoying learning something new!🤟♥️
There's definitely a lot of signing, smiling and the odd bit of confusion along the way 😂
