This book has been a HUGE help in me learning asl! Would recommend this to ANYONE desiring to learn the language, and to also learn ABOUT the language. You dont just learn the words to say and then do the rest yourself, it teaches you how to speak it prperly. VERY great book!!!!

This book is very helpful in understanding ASL and the Deaf community. But, it requires strong reading comprehension skills or at least a good dictionary on hand.

Customer Rating: 

This book has one big advantage over "dictionary" style signing books, namely that it uses the word order that signers do, with guides to the logic of the language AND notes on culture. I was disappointed in the graphics, though, and in fact had to go to "Joy of Signing" many times for better explanations (this book uses only pictures, "Joy" adds descriptions and explanations--"how" is explained "as if turning seams up to see the inside edges"). I think it's very necessary to prepare for the next stage of learning the language from real people.

I have not gotten that far in the book yet but have noticed from the beginning that this book goes into detail that most do not. I am not a teacher but this book explains how signs are understood. For instance, some things are automatically understood when a sign is done a certain way. The book explains how to "read-between-the-lines". This book gives information about those who need sign language, the deaf. I am excited to embark on new discoveries based on this new language to me.
