Title is misleading!It doesn't teach phrases as used by Deaf,
By A Customer
This review is from: Signing Everyday Phrases (Perigee) (Paperback)
If you are expecting to sign phrases as the Deaf use (i.e. American Sign Language), this book is NOT for you. Some places in the book did not list the approiate sign for that context. This reviewer would recomend staying away from this book as it presents Pidgen Sign English but too often with the wrong sign.

NOT for ASL Students,
This review is from: Signing Everyday Phrases (Perigee) (Paperback)
As a student of American Sign Language (ASL), I have successfully used Flodin's earlier book, "Signing Illustrated: The Complete Learning Guide," as a favorite reference through two semesters of the basics. I would, however, withhold any recommendation of "Signing Everyday Phrases" to a student of ASL. ASL is recognized as a true language and as such has its own specific syntax. "Signing Everyday Phrases" is an offering in Signed English which presents a different word order from ASL and uses many more signs to convey the same meaning. Since this book is about putting signed words together to form phrases and short sentences and appropriate syntax is a must in ASL, this book is definitely not for the student of ASL.

Not For Serious Signers,
This review is from: Signing Everyday Phrases (Perigee) (Paperback)
Like other reviews on this book, it's important for me to mention that the title is misleading. "Signing Everyday Phrases" leads potential ASL students to believe that this book shows you how to sign phrases in American Sign Language. In reality, it shows you Signed English, something that is NOT used by adult Deaf people. This is speaking as an adult Deaf person.Really the only thing good about this book would be if you are looking to communicate with a deaf child. Otherwise, please look the other way and you'll find many more suitable resources. (Note: Some of Mickey Flodin's books are highly recommended, but basically just the ones that shows signs alone). :o(
