The Canadian Dictionary of Asl

Summary: Mother of All ASL Books!
Review: To make this short and sweet, I'm educated Deaf. This book is one of the best books I cannot look away from! Historically, authors who are not deaf created some of other "ASL" books, which are rarely benefits for many who want to learn about deaf people and their language. Even I'm from the United States, I strongly recommend everyone to check out The Canadian Dictionary of ASL because it explains every detail what ASL learners need to know, such as there are at least 10 different ways to sign "RUN" visually since it has different means of "saying." That clearly tells me there were Deaf contributors involved with decision-making on what to publish. My long search for this particular book has ended! It is the perfect visual dictionary for some of my Deaf students because they will benefit from both signs and meanings in terms of understanding the words academically. Don't take my words for it, go see it and believe it for yourself. Now my next new search is the college-level ASL dictionary book.
