Catherine Parker

I have been teaching beautiful BSL since 2017 as a freelancer.

The journey of how I decided to become a BSL teacher started when I was as young as 11 years old. I remember clearly when I was at our holiday house in France, my late dad asked me what I wanted to do in my future career. I said I wanted to teach BSL. He was very supportive and said he believed in me and that he thought I could be excellent at this, which I took seriously. I have never looked back.

I live with my husband Matt and my beautiful cat Obi. You might be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of them during a remote class sometime.

FAQs

BSL Stands for British Sign Language and is used to communicate with deaf people or people with hearing problems. It is a popular language worldwide and in the UK, especially as BSL was recognized as an official language by the UK in 2003. So you must acquire this skill and learn it at Lead academy at a budget-friendly price.

Learning British Sign Language (BSL) from Level 1 to Level 6 is a unique journey that varies from person to person. It depends on the learning pace, dedication, and commitment to the language. On average, it can take between 60-100 hours of study to complete each level of BSL. Achieving all six levels would require 360 to 600 hours of learning.

A notable difference between ASL and BSL is the use of the manual alphabet – ASL uses a one-handed manual alphabet, whereas BSL uses a two-handed manual alphabet. In terms of vocabulary, ASL has a broader range of loanwords from English, while BSL has more iconic signs or visually representing the word’s meaning. Additionally, the two languages' grammatical structure differs, ASL follows a subject-verb-object (SVO) sentence structure, and BSL uses a subject-object-verb (SOV) structure.
