About this title

Synopsis

Over 26,000 New Zealanders are familiar with New Zealand Sign Language and sign language is increasingly used by mainstream New Zealand. This resource serves as the essential guide to the language for the deaf as well as for students, parents, and teachers. Approximately 2500 commonly used signs are accompanied by drawings that are easy to follow and the guide's new layout makes the structure of the language clear. Additional learning tools are provided in the introduction.
