I love these videos!!Sep 15, 2009
By J. Kalb we used these during our homeschooling years. I can't begin to tell you how wonderful they are. Sharon Solow comes from a family of deaf parents and it shows how dedicated and loving she is towards sign language. I entered asl classes and really had a handle on it! I got the privlege to meet Sharon at a workshop and she is so sweet just like on the video!

If Mr. Rogers taught sign languageAug 06, 2011
By Cynthia D. Haws Shaddock I am taking an Asl class and wanted to supplement my text book. My partner and I love watching these videos. Larry and Sharon are so happily in love and so classic early 80's. It is fabulous. They are very thorough and give you tricks to remember the signs. They also give you personal anecdotes about deaf culture. At times it feels like you are watching a SNL skit, which I feel is another bonus:) It is also clear that they are very knowledgeable and professionals in the field. They are also clearly immersed in deaf culture. I paid 175 dollars for my introductory ASL course and text at TSD. I learned a lot from that class but having access to this entire library of videos that you can watch over and over, is going to pay for itself very quickly. Plus they also wear matching sweaters and you really can't beat that.

don't buy if you are hearing impairedJun 26, 2011
By Bill I am 51 and hearing impaired. I cannot adequately hear a television and have tried hearing aids, but to no avail. I purchased this course in an attempt to learn sign language. The course would be fine if you have good hearing and can hear your T.V. If you are hearing impaired don't waste your money. Where are the subtitles when they are talking and explaining? They don't exist.This course is just made for people who have an interest in sign language, not for someone who actually needs it. If you are hearing impaired, you will get more out of a twenty dollar book.

FANSTASTIC!!!Feb 28, 2012
By T. Wood I needed to learn American Sign Language (ASL) because someone very close to me cannot speak...she can only sign, despite the fact she can hear. I had to self-learn ASL rapidly and turned to this DVD series. Larry and Sharon made it VERY easy to learn ASL, and made it an enjoyable (and sometimes funny) process. This is a very comprehensive series for someone who wants to lay down a foundation in sign language. At times it seems difficult, as they sometimes tend to sign quickly, but I cannot emphasize enough how valuable and enjoyable this series is!!! I have used many different ASL DVD series, but this is the only one that actually allowed me to learn easily and have fun doing it at the same time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!!

miss itMay 25, 2008
By Paulette Delahoussaye I found one of these dvds at the public library during a rather dreadful experience taking an asl class (failed the final by one point). It was SO much better than the class; they explained stuff really well, and they were so cute and '80's! I hoped I would get to see their baby on the show, but no. Because unfortunately it is hard to find--the producers don't have it, nor Amazon. I'm going to look on e-bay.
