DVD497 ASL for Beginners, ABC’s, Numbers & Everyday Signs

Learn basic sign language with this easy-to-follow DVD! Hosted by Clarissa, this step-by-step approach includes drills and practice exercises to enhance your signing ability and understanding. Each lesson focuses on everyday communication, starting with the signs for ABCs and progressing to numbers and finger spelling. Clarissa also provides insights into grammar, such as the reverse order of signed questions. Watch as she emphasizes the importance of facial expressions while signing, with onscreen captions and emojis for better comprehension.

In addition, Clarissa demonstrates various everyday signs, including greetings like name, yes, no, please, and thank you. At the end, enjoy a conversation between Clarissa and her deaf friend, Rachel. This interaction is presented twice: first with Clarissa speaking and signing, while Rachel’s captions are displayed, and secondly, with only the two individuals signing. Please note that this DVD is user-friendly but fast-paced, as Clarissa uses both voice and ASL with subtitles. (Copyright 2019. Running time: 24 minutes)
