<div>Hi Mark</div>
<div>’Sign World’ is a resource for learning BSL online, but I can’t comment on how good it is myself as I’ve never used it, although it’s been put together by some well-known BSL teachers:

<div>I have to put in a plug for our online, usage-based dictionary of BSL, but this should not be used on its own of course as a learning tool but is intended for use in conjunction with classroom or online learning: <a href="http://bslsignbank.ucl.ac.uk">http://bslsignbank.ucl.ac.uk</a></div>
<div>Cheers,</div>

I want to learn BSL because one of our mail delivery guys is non-vocal and hearing impaired. He lipreads and manages to make himself understood very well using gestures but I would love to know how to talk to him. That and the fact that I rely on lipreading
a lot myself due to APD-like MS symptoms.<br>
<br>
I only wish that I knew of a way to learn from my home. I feel a googling coming on.<br>
