Since you picked up this book, you probably want to learn sign language ... good for you! Sign language is a beautiful, visually expressive language. People who use sign language will appreciate your efforts to learn to communicate with them.
The Survival Guide is an easy reference you can carry with you. It has more than 500 signs for use in home, school, work, or social situations. Of course, there are hundreds more signs besides the ones in this book. But once you have learned the sign/words in the Survival Guide, you will be well on your way to communicating in sign language.
When you are just beginning to learn sign language, you may feel frustrated because you won't know many signs. Don't worrywhen you don't know the sign for a word or concept, you can always fingerspell it. Fingerspelling allows you to spell each letter of a word by using your hand to form each of the 26 letters of the alphabet. These handshapes, known as the American Manual Alphabet, are on pages viii and ix. As you learn more and more signs, you will find that some words or concepts don't have a sign equivalent, so you will always have a use for fingerspelling.[b]PDF from html![/b]
