FRESH May 2026

This May marks the 20th anniversary of New Zealand Sign Language’s recognition as an official language in Aotearoa, alongside Te Reo and English.

NZSL Week runs from May 4 to May 10, but we’re making it a FRESH month of celebration. Crack a can and give sign language a go.

Check out some of the online resources and apps that can help build your vocabulary. You could even see if there are any classes near you.

Who knows where it might lead?
