Thanks for doing this video. I work in a shop and I think a deaf customer would be pleased if I could sign just some simple phrases like these to them --You tube

Learn British Sign Language The EASY Way!

What a delight. I found this DVD very informative and helpful and so easy to follow. I was particularly pleased that there was not commentary or music. This helped me to focus totally on lip reading and following the signing. I was pleased that Sonia produced the programme without any frills as there were no distractions and I surprised myself to find that I was able to learn very quickly. Well done. I look forward to the advanced edition.

Fantastic DVD - Just what I was looking for.
I was recommended this DVD by a friend as I have recently started my 1st level in British Sign Language. I am really pleased that I heeded my friend's advice and bought the DVD set. It covers so many topics as well as an extensive range of vocabulary, in a no nonsense, practical way. As a complete beginner, it took me through and incorporated different sections of practise material before leading onto the next topic, to make sure that I could both produce and receive information in BSL. I am sure my progress to the 2nd level in BSL will benefit because of this. Thank you so much.

The Best!
I have Hazel Lyth's DVD and I do like it very much. But this one has heaps more to offer (vocabulary, phrases & tests) and the handshapes and filming are much clearer. It is more expensive but you get much more proportionately. The price held me back but after taking the plung and treating myself I JUST HOPING SONIA HOLLIS DOES A LEVEL TWO NOW! Well done. Fabulous DVD course. The best of my whole bunch! [and I have LOTS of BSL resources]
