Not for Beginners

"Overall, I was disappointed in the video. The production quality was not great but I was more disappointed about how signing was being taught. The DVD did offer a lot of signs - weather, the persons, short phrases - but each sign was shown only once and very quickly. It was very difficult to pick up the signs in this fashion. Also, the way each sign was demonstrated (using a split screen with the narrator on the left with a picture and the word spelled out on the right) became rather boring after a few signs.

Also, while the video is long, it was filled with non-essential stock images and clips of New York City and the zoo where nothing was being taught. It just seemed like filler. There was also a section on zoo animals and the habits of seals. I'm not sure why this would be useful to a beginner learning signs? In this section,the narrator signs quickly using full sentences and new vocabulary. I could only understand what he said because of the subtitles. This DVD is definitely not for beginners in ASL."

So much to learn from this awesome ASL DVD!

"its a good video. Easy and fun to learn. This is a good practice for those who have done ASL but out of practice and those who just learning to do ASL is good for them to see how it is done with ASL.
Very Educational. =)"
