I borrowed this through the Prime Lending Library, and didn't have to read far before deciding to buy my own copy. It is better on the Fire, but the images are high enough in quality that I can read it on my Kindle keyboard model too.One of the best things is that the book is engaging. The progression of topics is logical, but not dry and linear. Rather than teaching the alphabet and numbers first, then common nouns and verbs, etc., the book intersperses the signs for letters and numbers with ASL history, notes on deaf culture and etiquette, and practical exercises and visualizations. This would be a good textbook for anyone from early middle-school through adult, in home school or even as a family activity just to learn and grow together.
I'm deaf and studying for Memory Loss that could give me remember back to sign language. I felt better a lot because i was isolated and depressed then i order it, hope very much. Delivered a book came here and i was excited to get my memory back to sign language again. This book makes me feel proud of being deaf. It's blessing!
The book was easy to understand it makes the reader want to continue with quizzes and fun facts as well as history on sign language. The pictures make you feel that you have a teacher learning right along with you.
This is a great book! I already possess some ASL skills and find this book easy to comprehend and of a high quality. The format is just as good as a paper bound book, but obviously far more durable and available across all my devices because of my Kindle app. is a great go to place for electronic reading.
I really enjoy studying this book, it gives clear and concise directions on how to form each word! I find it to be a great book and I am a beginner in sign language.
The book is well presented with large photos of signs. Lots of topics are discussed. The author obviously put a lot of thought into this book.
This is an excellent book for the beginner. It teaches you all about sign language. Not just how to do it but a lot of its history. Great book. My daughter is teaching her child sign language using flash cards and it book! It's working!
This is an excellent tool, a primer, and resource for those who want to get a concise and informative start in learning about Deaf culture and the beautiful language that is ASL. Each topical chapter progressively develops the reader into an advanced-novice signer, equipping the individual with practical and functional language skills. Though, more than that, the lessons place the language in a historical and cultural context that help the reader to grasp the culture of the Deaf community.I love the fact that the author repeatedly encourages the reader to get involved with their local Deaf community and to take community ASL classes--learning a new language has no merit if one does not interact with the people group that uses it.Again, the lessons are excellent, but the synergistic approach of teaching language along with history and culture is what made this book so remarkable to me. I have longed to find a resource like this for nearly 30 years and I know I will return to it over and over again.
