Introduction to sign language communication

Amy and Zing's amazing A-Z of sign language

Amy and Zing are two lively, off-the-wall characters – not at all like a lot of people’s stereotypes of Deaf people. They offer an introduction to Sign Language communication, from A to Z. They focus mainly on British Sign Language (BSL), but many of the points they make apply equally well to Deaf people and Sign Languages in other countries, including Ireland.

The complete program in chapters A-Z is available for free on the Signstation website.  You can see chapter A below.  You can also purchase the program on DVD
