 Great Collection of American Sign Language education and entertainment. September 1, 2008

To save as much as possible and to learn plenty of American Sign Language vocabulary words from various topics including the classroom, weather, everyday words, idioms, and stories about animals - you will appreciate this set of two separate DVD units.
The bilingual education is amazing, you get to see three things when learning a vocabulary, for example, you see: a very clear image/photograph along with English word and then be followed with the sign for that word - all at a comfortable pace that is certain enjoyable by the whole family, ASL professionals and students.
ASL storytelling is at its best and works as a great breakaway for everyone learning American Sign Language vocabulary, structures and idioms. You will get to watch the teacher expressing the beautiful language with culture and much feelings.
It is a wonderful addition to one's American Sign Language video collection; especially preserving these two DVDs because they were made and taught by a team of Deaf ASL professionals.

I purchased this DVD set based on reviews given by an ASL interpreter. I have not been disappointed! These DVDs keep the interest of my two young children without sacrificing intellect for the adults. We are able to sit down as a family and learn together. Avery is a wonderful story teller who's clear passion for animals is infectious. I would recommend this product for any family looking to learn ASL.
So much to learn from this awesome ASL DVD! September 26, 2008

Wonderful Set of 2 DVDs teaching ASL for Kids Bundle! (4 hours) June 23, 2010
Everyday Asl Productions Ltd
This 2-DVD set comes packed with features and vocabulary word groups, activities, ASL storytelling, interaction, games, idioms/phrases in sign language and much more that's too many to list for a fraction of the suggested retail price - is a wonderful asset to any families, professionals, teachers and youngsters.
Best of all, the teachers are all Deaf and native American Sign Language users from an all Deaf family of ASL professionals with varied experience. Every teacher on video presents the language bilingually and naturally along with unlimited interest and hours of fun.
This set comes in two separated DVD units which are excellent for sharing and borrowing among viewers. Thus far, over 100,000 units were sold from the publisher, Everyday ASL Productions and are found throughout countless educational centers, classrooms and homes from all parts of the world today.
Nothing can be better than to learn from a Deaf ASL professional along with visual rich materials and bonus features!

I was very disappointed in the DVD. The DVD was more of a sight/sign language trip to the zoo for deaf children. It had very little instruction on actually learning sign language for hearing folks.
