This review is from: Idioms & Phrases in American Sign Language, Volume 2 (DVD)

As a student, it's really frustrating to be limited in my ASL communication. I don't have that kind of patience. So, deaf idioms really do help expand my vocabulary and build my cofidence when communicating with other deaf people. To be fluent in ASL, it is important to understand these idioms. They are really used quite often. Now that I am learning these idioms, I have recognized alot of them so far used by deaf individuals and interpreters too. I'm really excited, because it gives me an advantage in that my limited communication is increasing rapidly. I have even noticed my instructors doing some of these signs.

The quality on this dvd isn't that great. Apparently it was shot with a digital camera but recorded on analog tape. Or something similar. That being said, it's a good DVD. The information and signing is clearly presented and the "actors" are actually pretty funny. You can tell they are enjoying themselves and that makes it fun to watch.

I am not deaf, but I have been wanting to learn to sign. This is not for a beginner! And, this has no sound at all.... which i can understand for the deaf, but it would have been nice to hear the words too. If you buy this i would reccomend already knowing some ASL.
