Learning some basic NZSL means you can communicate with NZ’s Deaf community more
NZSL knowledge is useful in all areas of life, but it is especially useful if you work in any kind of role that includes contact with the public, such as retail, health care and customer service, where you may come into contact with Deaf customers or consumers. Having some basic NZSL skills means you can comfortably communicate with Deaf people, and makes it much easier for them to access information in their everyday lives. Learning some basic conversational NZSL in our classes is interactive, easy and fun. Come and give it a try!

Testimonials:
"I just wanted to give feedback on how much I enjoyed it and I learnt so much. The tutor is a fantastic teacher and makes it lighthearted and fun. I must say it's challenging the first couple of weeks getting your brain learning again but I never felt really pressured at any point. It was a great experience and a good start to my sign language journey." Joanne B
