That said I have not had time to get into the meat of it BUT what I have seen so far has been praise-worthy. A very good intro and some good info about different sign language 'languages' I learnt a few things thT I did not previously know (not signs other related info) which was quite interesting. Good explanation on what is conversational sign language and how it differs from say 'signed english language'. The DVD has a visual for the signs from the book (important to know), you are taught by both a deaf and hearing person (mother and daughter)which I also found good.More than 600 signs... Let's face it most people buying this are 'hearing' people who have an interest in communicating with the 'hearing impaired'. From what I have seen this book will help with basic communication and those seeking further vocab now have a base to build on.Also information on common misconceptions, interesting facts and also special tips on improving your signing. I will update the review as I explore the package more. But so far 'two thumbs up' (or 5 stars). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not too fast, not too slow *by R***S on October 4, 2011* I love this book. I could not ask for anything more in a basic instructional book. Both ladies are very easy to understand, not going to fast or slow. I highly recommend this book for beginners. It also has great stories and experiences from other people as well as the authors helping to understand the deaf culture. My favorite is the signing Santa. I also took the advice of the authors and ordered other books that lend to the experience. I am fifty-three years old and enjoying the experience of learning this language.I ask only one thing: Write a second level book! And if need be a third level. I want more but can't find anything else as good as this one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Deaf culture and PSE/CS learning tool! *by N***Y on May 20, 2008* Having taken 2 semesters of ASL, I must admit that I was disappointed to see a vocabulary list that I knew 95% of...but this book is definitely an excellent source for those with no or very little prior ASL knowledge. NOTE: THIS IS NOT ASL. The book is Pidgin Signed English (now called Contact Signing) which is easier to learn if your first language is English. That is, the grammar of ASL is absent in the presence of English word order. But the way the book is laid out, it's easy to learn! There's little bits of cultural information, how to engage and end a conversation, "do"s and "don't"s, and more! I like the little anecdotes, too.Pros: Easy to follow, comes with a DVD to reinforce and clarify signs, decent amount of information for a beginnerCons: NOT ASL (ASL "words" but not the grammar) and not terribly helpful for those with moderate exposure to sign languageOverall, it's a handy cultural tool that helps you learn a little language :) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/4517171-the-complete-idiots-guide-to-conversational-sign-language-illustrated-paperback](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/4517171-the-complete-idiots-guide-to-conversational-sign-language-illustrated-paperback) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
