Description
I love that this big book lies open flat! It makes it so nice to study and imitate the color photos of a person making the signs. This is designed for someone with no previous knowledge of ASL and explains common mistakes to avoid. They stress the importance of understanding the parameters of ASL such as using classifiers, handshapes, orientation, location, movement and facial expressions at the same time as good grammar and sentence structure. You go on to learn the alphabet, numbers, essentials, days/times, family/friends, body/health, at home, shopping, school/work, food/drink, activities, social situations, nature, more verbs and descriptors – 800 signs in all. The man and woman in the photos are very expressive, which is super helpful. Hardcover with spiral inside binding. ~Sara
