Don't get me wrong -- Signing Time is wonderful!! All of the Signing Time videos we've purchased have been excellent. One extra nice thing about this one is that the music is low-key, so that it doesn't keep you awake at night when a song is stuck in your head! Rachel makes learning ASL so easy -- she explains the signs so well that they are easy to remember. And watching her sing/speak and sign is fun and interesting, as you can try to pick up signs while watching. My only criticism of this video (hence the 4 stars) is that she does some talking at the end without signing -- a disappointment!
And, I would love it if Signing Time would put out a video that teaches ASL "grammar," if there is such a thing (how do you actually converse in ASL??) -- Or maybe provide it in the form of an instructional add-on. |
