Easy Way Series - All books in this series

Learning ASL—American Sign Language—becomes easy with help from this heavily illustrated book. This edition has been updated to include information on new technological developments and their related vocabulary. A useful guide for the deaf and for those who teach or otherwise work among deaf men and women, this book opens with a presentation of the 10 key grammatical rules of ASL. Also emphasized is the use of “facial grammar” as an important supplement to manual signing. Most of this book’s contents demonstrate and explain signing. More than 800 line drawings illustrate different words and then show how to combine them to express statements. Here is easy access to the use of American Sign Language for both the deaf and for those with normal hearing who communicate with the deaf.
