I'm the MD of 'whats the sign for...?' and we produce 'teach yourself/revision' style DVDs that sell nationwide. We're one of the market leaders with 9 in the current series. Have a look at our website for more info. <a href="http://www.whatsign.co.uk" rel="nofollow">www.whatsign.co.uk</a> Keep up the good work - very informative!

My suggestion to you would be to always follow your tutor's advice. They are much more likely know the most up to date requirements from the exam board than your friends. Good luck! Hi Melissa,

Another recommendation would be the Linguistics of Sign Language book (http://www.cambridge.org/catalogue/catalogue.as...). It's a bit heavy going but has some really good detail on BSL grammar. I found it really useful and interesting.

Good luck with your level 3 – let me know how you get on!

Glad you found this site useful. I've been a bit quiet lately as have had lots of things on, including putting together my level 3 portfolio which is quite a task! More to come at some point, I promise. Good luck with your Level 2. Hi Gilly, thanks for your message! Glad you found this site useful.
