DVD Reviews of Webster's Getting Started in Signing
DVD Review: INCREDIBLE DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD has given me an understanding into American Sign Language that I never though I could grasp. I know a sign language interpreter, who when I used to see her sign, it all seemed like a blur, and I thought I, myself, could never even begin to understand the language. Because of this DVD, I am now confident enough to communicate with deaf people, and I did, with a co-worker. As the hosts sign, you hear a voice over of what they are signing, helping you to pick up words and concepts quickly, and easily.
The skits show everyday situations, of people fluent in sign Language, trying to teach to friends or family members. This really puts you in the character's shoes, because it's like having a private tutor teach you. Time of day, nouns, pronouns, the alphabet, numbers, initializing, concepts, all in one video. It's all taught at a wonderful pace, and it's perfect for beginners.
I've seen many people saying that this DVD does not give you the chance to review, or enough repetition, which may be true in certain situations. But, I discovered something that they didn't. On my DVD remote control, I have two buttons that they might not have had... A PAUSE button and a REWIND button. Somethings can be grasped on first pass, but obviously, the more advanced or confusing things need to be watched more than one time! It's impossible for the creators of the DVD to discern what every single customer would view as "easy", "confusing" or "difficult". Different people process information at different speeds, so if the DVD creators were to repeat everything two and three times, then it would be a 15 hour, three disc set, of only 90 minutes of information!
So don't get turned off from buying this because you might think it's too fast paced. Trust me, I rewound and paused quite a few times myself. And if you don't have a DVD player that rewinds and pauses, I'm sure you can find one somewhere on Amazon.
