5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Sign Language DVDs, November 7, 2009

By	Mike H. (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: American Sign Language for Kids: Learn ASL Beginner Level 1, Vol. 1 (w/ booklet) (DVD)

I've been very pleased with my purchase of this beginning ASL DVD and their Vol. 2 as well. My kids learned some signs while attending preschool and now in elementary school they have interest in learning more. I thought the DVD would just teach a few basic topics but Language Tree's lessons cover a vast array of the most important signs needed to communicate. I particularly liked the creative way they solved the problem of palm orientation confusion which is common with many children. When covering the ABC's they also include the signer's perspective, which is a huge help. My kids also enjoy the cultural tips provided throughout both Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 DVDs because they have become friends with deaf kids at their school.

This is a really great intro into Sign Language. My daughter and I have started using it and we find it easy to follow, with lots of repetition for practice, social tips, and mini quizzes. Really excellent if you are just starting to learn Sign Language!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but intro too long, July 30, 2010

By	prudentbuyer - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: American Sign Language for Kids: Learn ASL Beginner Level 1, Vol. 1 (w/ booklet) (DVD)

I bought this DVD for my 4 year old to watch in the car.
She learns ACL in bits and pieces at school and is constantly showing me the signs for random things, so I thought she'd enjoy learning more.
Once the DVD gets going, it's fun, but the intro is very long. Since we watch in the car, I can't fast forward the DVD player in the back seat. I find my daughter complains for the first 5 or so minutes as the intro rambles on. After that, she's signs along and is a captive audience as it plays. If your kids watch it at home or school, i'd be easy to skip the intro, so it's worth buying.
