Title: complete disappointment
Product review: I found the history of sign language and culture to be ok but beyond that the book was terrible. As a parent of a deaf child and trying to learn ASL I found nothing useful at all to help me learn to sign and speak the language which will become my child's. I was sorely disappointed that only a few paragraphs were available on the actual grammar of ASL.As a beginner to ASL it was discouraging. I finished the book with less enthusiasm about learning it then when I had started and I am now unsure whether I would even want my child to be involved in the deaf culture and community since the main feeling I got was that deaf people are unaccepting to anyone who is not deaf. I got the impression that even trying to learn ASL was a stupid idea and I would never be good at it becuase I am hearing.
