 I use it as a supliment in intermediate class March 18, 2008
As a sign language instructor, I do not use this book for my beginning ASL Class. I use "A Basic Course in American Sign Language". After students complete the beginning course and move into the intermediate class I use "Learning American Sign Language" as a review which ultimately takes them into the intermediate level. Neither book should be used without an instructor. I also use the DVD "Learning American Sign Language" to have students practice translating American Sign Language into spoken English. This is only one of the materials that I use in the intermediate class and I am very happy with the results. I would like to buy the Instructor's Manual to Learning American Sign Language but I cannot find it. If you have one that you want to sell, please list it on amazon. It must be out of print.
This book is AWESOME! March 4, 2008

I definitely recommend a different book -- not this one to start off with. The drawings are sometimes hard to understand. I have taught ASL to hearing adults and this would not be my first choice to start off with. I liked a different book that I recently reviewed. The title escapes my mind, but check out my other reviews and find the five-star review :)
not the best, but not the worst June 3, 2007
Some of my complaints include the problematic fact that there are many signs that appear in the dialogues and are not in the vocabulary section, nor illustrated anywhere else, and many of the signs are outdated - one must have a teacher or deaf/hoh person around to help sort it out.
Most of the dialogues are pretty boring and inspired me to write a new one which was a very fruitful and a much better learning experience than the book. Also, one of the teachers at Palomar College created a vocabulary video which should be on the dvd that comes with the book.
But, on the plus side, the expressions are very good and the signs are clear. The dvd is good and the characters well done tho as I said above, it is missing the vocab signs.
Enjoy Dancing Hand Talk! LI
