This edition has been updated to include information on new technological developments and their related vocabulary. A useful guide both for the deaf and for those who teach or otherwise work among deaf men and women, this book opens with a detailed presentation of the 10 key grammatical rules of ASL. Also emphasized is the use of facial grammar as an important supplement to manual signing. Most of this books contents are devoted to demonstrating and explaining signing. More than 800 line drawings clearly illustrate different words and then show how to combine them to convey statements. Here is easy access to the use of American Sign Language, a practical book for both the deaf and for those with normal hearing who have occasion to communicate with the deaf. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Sign Language SmartsI have not gotten that far in the book yet but have noticed from the beginning that this book goes into detail that most do not. I am not a teacher but this book explains how signs are understood. For instance, some things are automatically understood when a sign is done a certain way. The book explains how to "read-between-the-lines". This book gives information about those who need sign language, the deaf. I am excited to embark on new discoveries based on this new language to me. Rating: - HELPFUL ASL BOOKTHIS 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. Rating:  - Wow...too much info for a novice begnnerThis 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. Rating: - great for beginnersI 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. Rating: - Sign language easy way.I wanted to see more hand sign than explaining what it is. For recreation learner it's too much text book like.
