3 Pro's & a Con, July 29, 2003
My family and I (ages 10 months to 30 years) were all watching this video
together, when suddenly the ten month old tried to sign with us! Of course, she
did not get the signs correct, but the movie had us energized enough that she
wanted to join us. One thing that I really like about this video is that the
teacher teaches the signs using English word order (instead of ASL order), but
points out that the word order in ASL sometimes differs of that in English. She
sometimes makes it a point to demonstrate saying a phrase in both variations of
the language (i.e., English word order and ASL order). Although this is not the
best practice gramatically, I think that it helps one learn to recognize signs,
especially when one is a child. Another big pro of this video is that deaf
individuals, with various speaking abilities, are featured throughout the tape.
I am a beginning ASL student myself and am blown away by the differences between
one deaf individual that I meet and another, sometimes increasing or decreasing
my level of difficulty with communicating with him or her. Being exposed to such
things while first learning should maybe help with that. Also, phrases and words
are repeated so that the viewer can practice with the children after they learn
a new word or phrase. The only negative I have is that the plot is weaker than
the plot on the videos from the other ASL series I own. Overall, I like the
tape. It is appropriate for children, and I found myself learning some news
words as well. It is not a purchase that I regret making.
I Want to Learn Sign Language 1, March 7, 2003
Very Good. My children have enjoyed using this video to learn sign language.
It gives a lot of signs kids would want to know and use. It also includes a
brief history of the beginnings of American Sign Language. It also includes
Signed English.
My children are looking forward to the second volume.
