Signing Made Easy is a comprehensive guide to learning-and using-sign language in everyday life. Until now, few manuals have done more than simply show how to make individual signs. At last, the authors of the acclaimed Perigee Visual Dictionary of Signing and The Pocket Dictionary of Signing have created a text-and-workbook-in-one. This volume will teach you how to use signing in English sentence format. Signing Made Easy offers the first thorough, step-by-step approach to learning sign language, complete with drills and practice exercises to increase signing ability and understanding. Presented in a large-format, easy-to-follow design, this volume includes... * Over 3,500 different signs, with clear illustrations and descriptions * Instructions on how to sign in complete sentences * Exercises for learning how to give and receive signs * Drills to reinforce vocabulary retention * Chapters organized by subject-from "Work and Careers" to "Family and Social Life" to "Food"-that build progressively on previous lessons * A detailed history of sign language * The manual alphabet and spelling exercises * Instructions for forming numbers and inflections * A complete index for each reference.
