Editorial Reviews

This new DVD, American Sign Language Everyday Words: Holidays & Events, is great for everyone. You will learn over 250 everyday vocabulary words in ASL about 21 major holidays, events and more. Every vocabulary will be open-captioned for convenient learning. Since holidays and events are important part of daily functions among Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing students, teachers, parents and professionals, it is common for one to encounter difficulties interpreting and/or translating specific terms into ASL and English. Our easy-to-follow teachings will help you add these words to form sentences with our other grammar and sentence structures in ASL DVDs in order to ultimately develop better communication skills.

I don't know what I expected, but it's okay. These are just some signs you could pick up in the dictionary, from instructors, or other Deaf people you chat with. That is if you are an ASL student or interpreter you would be exposed to this. But, it does give you a visual when you are not around other Deaf people or taking a class, and is better than a book I suppose.

I found this video to be painfully slow. There was no sound (except on the long musical openings) and the quality was as if someone downloaded it onto a DVD from a VHS. Since the quality of the DVD was so poor you could barely make out the woman's hands while she was signing. I couldn't watch all of it, but what I did watch was useless. The woman doing the signs was standing in front of a wall singing; that's it (remember bad quality). No closeup of the hands, no repetition, no shots of the hands from different angles... Don't waste your money like I did.
