Review

Learning to sign can be beneficial not only as a way to communicate with those who are hearing impaired, but also as a way to think about language from a different, non-verbal perspective. With 15 lessons covering topics like colors, transportation, people, wild and domestic animals and emotions, this book teaches over 480 words in sign language. Each lesson begins with a quick review and introduces new signs; provides exercises, games and sentences for practice; and finishes with a pictorial vocabulary list which shows the hand motion for signing specific words. So lucid and well done is this guide I decided to purchase one for myself. -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by SH
