4 out of 5 stars HELPFUL ASL BOOK   June 15, 2008
THIS BOOK IS VERY HELPFUL IF YOU ARE JUST BEGINNING LEARNING ASL. IT REALLY FOCUSES ON THE GRAMMER AND HOW THE DEAF PEOPLE COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER AND WHY. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK HIGHLY FOR INTERMEDIATE BEGINNERS.

This book is very overwhelming to me. My infant son is hearing impaired so I'm trying to learn ASL. This is definately a college textbook and not an average readers book. I'm going to get through it some day but wow....it's a lot of info for me as a beginner.


4 out of 5 stars great for beginners   November 28, 2007
I bought this for my adult brother who wanted to learn to sign. He said the book was great, very easy to understand, and he said he was able to learn quickly.

I wanted to see more hand sign than explaining what it is.
For recreation learner it's too much text book like.



5 out of 5 stars ASL sign language the easy way   November 21, 2007
I took a class in ASL, and in the class, this book was used. It was a really great book, and if you are a beginner or expert, this book is bound to be very helpful. It's a really good book, and helped all of us (in the class) because our teacher was deaf, which is a little besides the point, but we had to rely on our books even more. Everything in this book was very accurate and exrememly helpful. I really recommend this book!
