What people are saying...
I LOVE IT!!! ... the ease of operation ... how wonderful to be able to move
between the signs for "appointment" and "ruin", for instance, to see the
differences that were not clear to me previously. This is a fantastic
tool and I am grateful to you and all involved in creating it.

As an aspiring interpreter, this CD has brought an even greater articulation and appreciation for the linguistic beauty of ASL.
ASL inflections and grammar were previously unclear to me; the texts were confusing and class discussion was sometimes unable to clarify
my specific questions. With this CD, through a short series of mouse-clicks I can see a sign, see it inflected in a sentence, and read
linguistic descriptions of what I am seeing. The CD has developed my expressive and comprehensive fluency in ASL, and has greatly
improved my confidence in the use of this beautiful language.

One of my most popular language activities involves using the ASL Dictionary and Inflection Guide. My 4th grade students quickly become comfortable enough with the program to use it independently. I assign it for activities that support both English and ASL acquisition, and it really helps with their writing assignments.

The ASL Video Dictionary and Inflection Guide is a great
resource and a practical learning tool. The students in our sign language
lab love it and spend hours working on building their vocabulary
and their ability to put it all together. The CD contains a generous
amount of signs, and the signers featured are expressive and
likeable. Experienced interpreters often use this CD for
help in finding signs for a large variety of scenarios or to confirm the
appropriate production of a specific sign. I love it and will continue to
use it as a learning tool and resource. Thank you for finally coming up
with a product that is user-friendly, interesting, and of excellent
quality.

This is a first of its kind resource that people can use to learn ASL, with a helpful feature that shows similar ("look-alike") signs.
I must congratulate this crew for developing a wonderful CD dictionary with diverse folks.
