Easy to understand April 5, 2008
This vocabulary in this book is organized into categories so that, for instance, all the relationship words are grouped together. The drawings of the hand shapes are better than in a lot of ASL texts, and each drawing is accompanied by an explanation as to hand shape, position, and orientation, as well as little memory tips to help link the sign to its meaning.
A Good Beginners Book March 18, 2008
For the beginner this book is helpful including these sections:
Getting Started: The basics (Showing proper positions for finger spelling and the proper signing area etc.)
Basic Hand Shapes
Hints for Better Signing
The Manual Alphabet
There are 16 chapters, with each chapter covering word groups such as Family,People and Pronouns; Home,Clothing,and Colors; Food and Eating;
Technology; Thoughts,Emotions,and Abstract Ideas; Time,Seasons Weather;
Health,Medical,and the Body; God and Religion; Cities, States, Countries,&Governments; as well as many others.
At the end of each chapter there is a test for those of you that may try to learn ASL on your own (with answers in the back).This is great for testing your comprehension.
There are 1,550 signs clearly illustrated with a memory aid to go with each sign.
I would highly recommend this book for anyone with the desire to learn Sign Language.
