Appropriate for nearly every age, the multimedia American Sign Language Learning System features an excellent introduction to American Sign Language (disc one), dramatized “Say It By Signing” lessons that teach essential words and phrases (disc two), and an ASL Dictionary (on CD-ROM). Hosted by two well-known teachers in the field of education for the hearing-impaired--Dr. Elaine Costello and Dr. Martin L.A. Sternberg--the set teaches viewers the "grammar" and fundamentals of American Sign Language, while also presenting signs and fingerspelling in practical contexts (family situations, party planning, etc.). In addition to the fine, interactive ASL dictionary, the CD-ROM also features a wealth of information on various ASL-related topics. Highly recommended: Editor's Choice. Aud: E, I, J, H, C, P. (S. Fisher)
