“I’ve laughed a lot during Level 2 classes and am excited to continue my BSL journey, which will undoubtedly be with Remark! and their BSL Level 3 course. Thanks guys!”
We offer a unique learning experience where you will be immersed in Deaf culture with native BSL users at our modern and quirky office. Our London office is at 18 Leather Lane, near Farringdon.
All of our BSL teachers and assessors are Deaf, native BSL users. This means our students benefit from a real and native insight into the Deaf community and its language.
We’ve been doing what we do for nearly 20 years, which has allowed us to design and deliver courses that integrate both practical and theoretical elements of learning.
We offer Signature accredited qualification.
We also deliver Deaf Awareness training, which is popular with organisations that have Deaf or hard of hearing employees. Deaf Awareness training can help facilitate better communication between Deaf/hard of hearing and hearing employees within the organisation.

We recommend you try our FREE BSL class, then if you enjoy the session you can enrol on one of our BSL Level 1 courses for beginners.
Short answer: Four. Here at Remark! we hold classes for BSL Level 1, BSL Level 2, BSL Level 3 and BSL Level 6.
No, American Sign Language is quite different to British Sign Language. They are distinct languages. In fact, whereas American and British English are mutually intelligible, ASL and BSL are not mutually intelligible.
Each student has their own learning pace. We would say on average it takes 3-4 years to become fluent (BSL Level 6) based upon learning 3 hours a week.
Yes, however due to the inherent nature of BSL being a 3D language, we would always recommend learning face to face with a Deaf teacher when you can.

Bob Rose
BSL Teacher
BSL Level 3 - 6 and Trainee A1
My name is Jagjeet Rose, but just call me Bob! The reason being I love Bob Marley and I listen to his music all the time. I am passionate about teaching my language, BSL, and giving people the opportunity to become fully bilingual or build on existing language skills.
Over 20 years ago I signed up to a course where the teacher was Deaf and I thought to myself, ‘Why can’t I become a teacher?’. After qualifying I began working in Bedford college, teaching BSL Level 1 and 2. A few years later I gained a PGCE and a Maths degree whilst studying BSL Level 6 at the same time.
My passion for linguistics continued to develop and enhance my BSL teaching. I still recommend all students learn linguistics, whether they are Deaf or hearing.
I teach BSL levels 1 - 6 and deliver Deaf Awareness Training.
