Welcome to Tipperary ISL
Hello and welcome to taking your first step towards learning basic Irish Sign Language with us on Tipperary ISL.
By clicking on the projects below, you will enjoy a fun and easy way of learning your first words in ISL. Whether its using the training videos and quizzes online, attending one of our in-person courses or practicing at the Sign Cafe, there is something for all levels here. The programs offer you a taster of learning ISL, which is now recognised as the 3rd Official Language of Ireland.
Give it a go, help it grow
We encourage everyone to learn a little sign language every day using the videos and resources on the website to grow the language across communities. Please note the videos are here as a taster for the language only and should not be considered as an ISL training course.
This initiative is a collaboration of Tipperary County Council and HSE Gold Star Tipperary, also showcases signed storytime with Tipperary Library Services and provides links for you to progress your knowledge of ISL and Help it Grow.

A quote from one Deaf volunteer with the Tipperary Gold Star project
The success of this overall Deaf awareness project is phenomenal and shows how much of a need there is to grow and promote ISL in communities. I feel meaningfully included in Tipperary for the first time in my life, I am very proud to be from Tipperary and to come back here and see the efforts that are being made now to grow ISL is amazing. As a Deaf Irish citizen I am proud to see my 1st language being supported and promoted in Tipperary
