I attended a Deaf Awareness short course many years ago as I have always been interested in learning BSL. Finding local courses has been a challenge and I was booked to attend a course in Bath - it was postponed twice due to low numbers, then when it did finally run, I wasn't working and so couldn't put the funds aside (it costs around £300 for Level 1). it's a shame as I felt I would benefit from attending an actual course where I could interact with others learning at the same pace as me.
I finally decided that I needed to take a better look at what was available online, so that I could at least make a start on learning. I liked the idea of Skype Tutorials which one of the other sites offer, but again their courses are very expensive.
If anyone is a total newbie like me and would like a practice buddy, then give me a shout :o)
