Sign language courses for hearing people
Sign language courses at St.Gallen.
Language does not always have to take place via acoustic sounds. Sign language offers an alternative communication system that is mainly based on gestures and facial expressions. Visual language systems give deaf and hearing-impaired people the opportunity to participate in the social and cultural world of hearing people.
Learning sign language is a particular challenge for hearing people: They have to learn to communicate using arms, hands, posture and facial expressions rather than sounds.
At the ILS-St.Gallen you will find sign language courses for hearing people. The language courses are based on Swiss German Sign Language (DSGS).
You can choose between private lessons as an individual course or in a small group that you form yourself. Our experienced sign language course teachers design the lessons according to your wishes. Book one of our lesson packages from 10 to 60 and schedule your lessons when it suits you best. The courses can take place at our premises in Bern, Basel and Zurich or at your location. More flexibility is not possible!
