For those planning classes,this book is a gift as the lessons plan themselvesShould be required reading for all beginners,especially parents,to give them an insight into what educating a deaf child really meansShould be required reading for all beginners...A very useful bookGreat to help further understanding of the language of deaf people...A mustAbsolute brilliant book very easy to pick up,I wanted to learn sign language after learning a bit of makaton,I memorised about 10 signs within 10 minutesHaving never attempted to learn any form of sign language prior to buying this book,I was suprised how easy it is to learn. This book,although basic,will give you an excellent understanding of British Sign Language and will enable you to get by and form basic sentences and,dare I say it,have conversations by signing. It doesn't pretend to be advanced or an oracle in its field but it really is the best book you can buy if you are starting out learning to sign
