 A helpful supplement July 10, 2008
This would not make a lot of sense to a total ASL beginner, but if you have any study experience with sign language, this could be useful. There are different levels of signing shown: the skits themselves are very basic, with deliberate signing and carefully enunciated voicing; between the skits, a deaf and a hearing signer chat about what the skits will be presenting; they are harder to follow for people with less signing experience. However, DVD bits can be backed up, slowed down, repeated, and the entire DVD can be watched numerous times. Every time you see it, something new should click.
Nice product January 21, 2008
Lots of vocab on this DVD, but not enough to really start putting sentences together. It's a great introduction to sign language. I recommend it.

I am so far impressed with this video. It must, however, be watched over and over to get the full benefits. No way will one sitting do it. I liked the way it was done and find it easier than I thought to pick up on signs. I doubt that I will be an expert but will be much better prepared than before and will have some level of confidence. Worth the money.

I find the Getting started signing has been very beneficial to me in my journey to explore the ASL. I find it very informative and easy to follow. I look foward to the continued use I will receive from it.
