theYoungerMrsWarde Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Or is there a website that has the information for free? I was looking at ASL dictionaries on Amazon, but the negative reviews are worrying me, and I don't know anyone IRL that I can ask. My kids LOVE Signing Time. We've gotten the first 3 dvds since February, but I can't keep buying them all the time (at almost $20 a dvd!) and our library doesn't have them. And now Ds5 is making up his own signs, and I don't want him memorizing things wrong. I'd rather be able to tell/show him the real sign. Of the signs he made up today, see-saw, clock, rock, I could only find rock online. He actually came close! So is there someone on here with experience with sign language who could point me in the right direction, please? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home'scool Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 http://www.lifeprint.com/ This website is great. A lot of the words come with a video showing you how to actually sign it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhjmom Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I love ASL University (http://www.lifeprint.com)! He has an extensive dictionary that addresses regional differences as well as multiple meanings and much of the nuances of ASL. I also prefer online sites that have video because it is sometimes hard to tell what a sign is from a print illustration. The site also has lesson plans that may be a bit above your DS's level right now but you could still break them down and use them as a guide. He also include great discussions of ASL grammar and Deaf culture, which IMHO are an important part of learning the language. ASL pro is one I don't recommend.

theYoungerMrsWarde Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) Wow, that website looks great! Thank you! ETA: We found "potato," "popcorn," "rock," "slide," and "clock!" All signs he's been asking for! Yea! (Wait that's not the right "yea," is it? I know it's not "yeah," but I can't remember what's right....)

kubiac Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I think SigningSavvy.com is just great. You have to register, but they seem to have everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
