Description: | When you get to the site, you'll see a "Browse by Letter" menu. Simply click on a letter, and a new page opens with a menu of words and phrases that begin with that letter. Click on the word or phrase, and a new page opens where you can watch a video of a person demonstrating how to sign that word. You'll also find a written definition of the word. There is a menu near the top of the page that allows you to look up: • Fingerspelling • Numbers • Colors • Animals • U.S. States • World Geography • Baby Sign As you explore the site, you'll notice that additional information such as a full written description of how to make the sign, and a memory aid for the sign, and (in some cases) flash cards and other features are provided for members who can access the entire site ad-free. Look under the "About Us" section on the menu to find information on membership fees. That said, you don't have to purchase a thing to use the interactive video dictionary that serves as a fascinating introduction to sign language — and it's a great way for those of you who know ASL to refresh your knowledge of signing various words. |
