Product Description:

Open up a whole new world of communication through ASL

.

You can easily learn ASL with help from The American Sign Language Phrase Book. This is the reference guide to everyday expressions in American Sign Language, providing a quick way for you to converse with deaf people.

. .

Clearly illustrated with hundreds of line drawings, this book focuses on areas such as health, family, school, sports, travel, religion, time, money, food and drink, and small talk. This edition's new chapter on technology boasts 50 signs to help you communicate about the Internet, computing, video relay, and more. There is even a chapter that gives you signs for communicating about signing: asking people to sign slower, indicating your fingerspelling ability, and requesting help with your fledgling skills.

. .

From asking simple questions (�How are you?�) to more complex phrases (�There's no sign for that, you have to fingerspell it.�), The American Sign Language Phrase Book gives you the power to communicate easily and comfortably in ASL.

- More helpful than your standard ASL dictionary
This book is great because it explains how to say real phrases, as opposed to showing you dictionary words without context. The writing is clear and easy to understand, and there's a lot of background information as well. I recommend this book to anyone who is truly attempting to become fluent in ASL.

- My favorite ASL book
I have studied several ASL books, and this book is easily the best I have used. This book teaches you ASL phrases and ASL grammar. I really like the way this book explains ASL grammar and sentence structure.

- The American Sign Language Phrase book
This book is great for those learning A.S.L. because it gives you conversational phrases that you would normally use in taking to deaf people. Much like a Learning French Tape that tells you basic phrases you would use in English and French so that you can learn to converse in Sign by knowing the right phrase and style to use.
The only problem I had was that some people have a hard time figuring out the correct hand motion from the illustrations. Also if you are not used to ASL sentence ... Read More
