Languages
Communicating in another language is the ideal brain train!
You can develop your language skills from complete beginner to advanced level,
for work, travel and to support others within your community.
The Modern Foreign Language courses are delivered in collaboration with
Ealing School of Languages. All of our tutors are native speakers and very
experienced in language teaching.
British Sign Language (BSL) is an officially recognised
language in its own right, with a unique grammatical
structure. Using BSL will enable you to communicate with
Deaf sign language users. Progression to advanced levels
can also open up a range of employment opportunities to
work with Deaf people.
