App Description

Communication takes many forms. For the hearing impaired, American Sign Language (ASL) is the key to making themselves heard. With Signing For Dummies, mastering the intricate pattern of handshapes, facial expressions and body language has never been easier.

Designed as an introduction or refresher, the app provides a window into the deaf culture as well as an overview of ASL. Organized into thirteen discrete lessons, Signing For Dummies offers tips, advice, flashcards, and video lessons demonstrating sign language in action. With this app in your pocket, you will learn to

- Introduce and greet people
- Ask questions and make small talk
- Order food and chat with salespeople
- Handle medical emergencies
- Talk on the phone
- Get around town for fun or business
- And much more!

With over 300 illustrated flashcards depicting commonly used signs, it is a snap to learn the basics and start communicating. Choose from among four distinct study modes and review the cards at your own pace. Create customized quizzes to track your progress, turn studying into a game with the concentration-style Matching mode, or choose the box format based on the popular Leitner method to hone in on problem areas.

Portable and fun-to-use, Signing For Dummies gets the whole body into the action. With just a little practice every day, you’ll be “speaking” ASL in a flash.
