Learning NZSL can be fun for everyone at Bluestone.
Sign Language is a visual language where our hands and facial expressions are used to communicate.
Along with English and Maori, New Zealand Sign Language is one of our country's official languages, with more than 24,000 New Zealanders using the language daily.
NZSL Week this year is from 10th-15th May 2021, and together at Bluestone we can have fun learning more.
We can do this by clicking on the following links -
‘Learn NZSL’ is a free training portal on New Zealand Sign Language. This site enables you to watch, learn and practise how to use NZSL in everyday social situations.
Sign Ninja is a fun way to learn how to sign online. Create your own avatar and navigate your way through the NZSL labyrinth by opening doors, collecting tokens, earning points and much, much more.
Looking through a dictionary has never been more exciting! Type your word in the search engine, and watch over 4000 signs come alive!
So give it a try, learn how to sign but most of all, have fun as you go!!
