5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic
This DVD is one of the best sources of current and relevant material for use in training ASL interprters. As a graduate of Gallaudet University and more than 30 years of Sign Language experience I found this very helpful in providing very up-to-date material in an easy learning format.Recommend it highly to both students and experienced interpreters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not enough receptive material
As with their expressive video, these dvd's COULD be a very valuable resource for interpreting practice if you were given more actual interpreting opportunities. You are only given about a 2 minute segment to interpret then there's a 5 minute video of an animal wondering around. If I wanted to watch animals I could visit the zoo myself! Very misleading when the DVD says...

5.0 out of 5 stars A great challenge for the beginning student interpreter, August 5, 2009

This review is from: American Sign Language Interpreter Training: Receptive Skills Practice, Vol. 1 (DVD)
I just got this and was pleasantly surprised that it had some challenge to help me improve. I have not yet taken interpreter courses, but am an intermediate/advanced ASL student. This is perfect for me. I enjoy the other programs that everyday ASL has to offer, so I was looking forward to when this one came out. I'm not disapointed. I can't wait til the others come out. They are good at what they do.

Thanks!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not enough receptive material, June 18, 2011

You are only given about a 2 minute segment to interpret then there's a 5 minute video of an animal wondering around. If I wanted to watch animals I could visit the zoo myself! Very misleading when the DVD says it's 102 minutes long; understand that you only really get about 10 minutes overall interpreting practice time, the rest is mostly videos and bloopers. The content to interpret is good and the vocab and idiom checks are nice but the content is just not enough.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing on the DVD, February 16, 2011
This review is from: American Sign Language Interpreter Training: Receptive Skills Practice, Vol. 1 (DVD)
Length:: 1:22 Mins

I was excited to receive the DVD to glean from this product, however when I went to put the DVD in the player, nothing was on it. I am very disappointed that I waited too long to figure out how to replace it and now time has run out. I can return the DVD and pay for shipping and get half back, but I really would like the product. I'm hoping the company will be able to help and send me a replacement copy, otherwise i doubt i will try again to buy this, unfortunately.
Thanks.
