Customer Reviews

A good book, but for reference not for beginner

I like this book personally it's not intended for a beginner, but for quick reference it is pretty good. The book is backed and/or published by a university making it pretty creditable. The book is pretty good, but if you want software that will tell you when you touch and give you ideas as to where how close you should be to your body. I would recommend Vcom 3d software.

Simple handbook intended for the general reader and student

Expertly compiled and organized by the Gallaudet University Press editorial staff, 1,000 Signs Of Life: Basic ASL For Everyday Conversation is a simple handbook intended for the general reader and student. Simple black-and-white illustrations clearly show 1,000 signs that can be learned quickly and used to communicate with anyone who is familiar with American Sign Language. Organized alphabetically in 17 categories, the common signs covered include those for animals, food, clothes, people, health, body, days of the week, transportation, holidays, religion, thoughts, emotions, and many more of solid practical use. A superb reference, self-teaching, and vocabulary building guide, especially for those new to ASL.
