A Must Have For Serious ASL Students! August 31, 2003 Tom 39 out of 39 found this review helpful
I'll admit that when I purchased this book, I was doing it more for an addition to my library than for actual use. Being a Deaf American Sign Language teacher, I'd often used several other basic ASL books and thought them sufficient, to a point. However, when I got my hands on this book, I was thrilled with the extra mile the writers and illustrators went when producing it.This book is similar to "A Basic Course in ASL," and some may find it hard to dicern between the two. However, this book has many more practice sentences and conversation. Many more opportunities to use your new-found skills. Many more illustrations. There is use of slang and idiomatic language that isn't found often in other resources. You can purchase a videotape to accompany this book. If you are learning on your own, that really is a must-have. Otherwise, this book offers a full course in beginning your trip to understanding true American Sign Language (versus Signed English or Contact Sign). Highly recommended by this deafie! :v)
Excellent book for people who want to learn ASL for fun March 5, 1999 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
This book may have poor pictures. It is not designed for self-taught or self-help for learning ASL because it is more like a 3-D language. It must accompany with an qualified teacher who can demonstrate in a class. It is highly recommended for those who do not plan to major in linguistics or interpreting. It is student-friendly materials for fun learning and appreciate the language of ASL. It also has a videotape that will reinforce the drills learned in each unit
Excited about Sign Language April 21, 2009 Tiffany Glock I have been participating in a Sign Language class for over 5 weeks now, using this material. It is SO easy to understand and makes for an incredible pathway to communicate with the Deaf community. I give it a double thumbs up!!
