Our highly interactive online Level 1 course will teach you the basics like the alphabet and numbers, as well as vocabulary that will enable you to have proper conversations, including signs for everyday items around the home like food and furniture, family members, emotions, feelings, colours, time (including the days of the week, months etc.,) animals, vehicles, occupations, and so on. Cyber sign language – terminology, slang and other vocabulary relevant to the modern technological age of the internet, social media and AI – is a unique feature of our course. Signs pertaining to sports are also covered, including signs about cricket: we are in the West Indies after all!

More than just vocabulary, you will learn sign language grammar, which is very different from English grammar. We also teach you Deaf Culture, an extremely important aspect of Deaf people’s daily lives and sense of self. This will help you to better relate to Deaf people and their language, and as a result become a much better communicator. We are proud to have pioneered the use of Deaf tutors, whose first language is sign language; our years of experience and research show that this is the best way for you to learn to sign like a pro.

What makes us even more unique is that we teach you the sign languages that are used across the Caribbean. In most English-speaking countries in the Caribbean, American Sign Language is used alongside local variants that incorporate signs unique to that country and influences from other sign languages. We use tutors from different Caribbean countries, giving you the richest possible learning experience, and enabling you to communicate competently with members of deaf communities across the region.

Once again, welcome to our Level 1 classes! We look forward to having you.
