If any of these ring a bell, you’re in the right place.
- Forgetting signs no matter how often you practice?
- Having no one to sign with regularly?
- Feeling overwhelmed by everything you need to learn?
- Struggling to grasp ASL grammar rules?
- Getting frustrated with fingerspelling?
- Feeling like you’re not making progress fast enough?
- Not knowing how to use facial expressions and non-manual signals?
- Getting lost during conversations or videos?
- Feeling self-conscious about signing in front of others?
- Not fully understanding Deaf culture?
Create lasting positive experiences that keep you coming back for more.
Student success is every teacher’s top priority.
Being able to interact with classmates and have a full ‘3D’ experience with the teacher is hugely helpful.

Rumball has the best teachers, and just try to remember that there are others in the same position as you in the learning process.
Tony D.
Our teacher is very good, the whole class loves her very much. She teaches until we understand.

Meet Aymara, one of your teachers.
We meet you where you are — and help you grow from there.

Cours de Langue des signes québécoise LSQ
Cours de Langue des signes québécoise LSQ virtuel ou en présentiel à Sudbury Information pour la session printemps 2026.
ÂGE MINIMUM: Les élèves de la 9e année ou plus âgés peuvent s’inscrire à notre cours de langue des signes québécoise (LSQ).
À PROPOS DE LA LSQ: La langue des signes québécoise (LSQ) est la langue visuelle utilisée par la majorité des communautés sourdes francophones au Canada, notamment au Québec, en Ontario, au Nouveau-Brunswick ainsi que dans d’autres provinces hors Québec. Le BRCCED offre des cours de LSQ, en ligne et en personne, comme langue seconde.
PROGRAMME: Le BRCCED utilise le programme pédagogique développé par RESO – Regroupement des parents et amis des enfants sourds et malentendants francoontariens. Nos instructeurs sourds qualifiés enseignent la LSQ telle qu’elle est utilisée dans les conversations quotidiennes de la communauté sourde francophone. En apprenant dans des contextes interactifs, vous développerez des habiletés conversationnelles telles que confirmer et corriger l’information, exprimer des degrés d’incertitude, demander des précisions et répéter. Nos cours virtuels et en présentiel se déroulent dans un environnement d’immersion en LSQ, sans voix. Cela signifieque vous serez invité(e) à garder votre voix éteinte durant le cours.
