Want to learn sign language ... the John Smith way?

Top UK deaf organisation Remark! have released a new DVD that aims to help people to learn British Sign Language with the help of legendary deaf comedian John Smith and his family.

John, who is well known for his comedy shows and appearances in BSL comedy sketches, features with his family in this new video which aims to teach the three sections of BSL Level one in a new, more interactive way.

The video, called One Step Closer, gives learners a better appreciation of some different aspects of sign language, like using expression, and also an insight into deaf culture. The DVD is set in John Smith's lovely looking home and includes a fair amount of comedy - which helps keep learning interesting. Order your copy from Remark! here for £14.99. If you or a loved one have always wanted to learn sign language but never got around to it - this could be the way to fulfill that ambition.
