American Sign Language Workbook

"""If you need to know sign language, this is the book for you. It's refreshing to find a book without long lists of vocabulary words, wordy explanations, old drawings, or obsolete topics. Rochelle created a fantastic workbook to help you learn how to really communicate in ASL."" --Michelle Hackett, 2 years of experience interpreting ASL ""Learning a new language can be a hard challenge, but finding a good teacher is even harder. Rochelle is an amazing ASL teacher who has taught me and many more people what ASL is. I have taken some courses, and I strongly recommend her books--especially American Sign Language Workbook, which provides you with pictures for a better understanding. Plus, her explanations are super clear and easy to memorize. You won't be disappointed!"" --Jonathan Perdomo, ASL student ""Rochelle's workbook is a stepwise approach to learning the fundamentals of ASL aimed at preparing the student for immediate conversation readiness. While the emphasis is on vocabulary, it is so much more than the typical image dictionary; the workbook includes carefully crafted descriptions of how each sign is executed, with historical, grammar, cultural, and current social justice notes. Organized into useful and commonly used categories, the exercises are cumulative and progressively more challenging, perfect for those who are ready to go beyond knowing the alphabet."" --Anita Saranga Coen, LCSW, retired human services program evaluator, and longtime ASL student"
