Pre-Order a New 2nd ASL Interpreter training DVD!
American Sign Language Interpreter Training: Expressive Skills Practice
In addition to our popular first ASL interpreter training DVD on receptive skills, our new DVD that focuses on voice-to-sign / expressive skills practice will hit the streets before Christmas and you can place your orders ahead of time to be one of the first to receive the new DVD.
Here are some of the brief highlights of what will be in the DVD:
- 5 Main Voice-to-Sign / Expressive Skill Exercises
(example stories for voice-to-sign exercises: the Christmas Tree at the Rockefeller Center in New York City, an organic candy company, medical information and benefits consuming pomegranates and more!)
- for every voice-to-sign exercise/story, every viewer will undergo interactive quizzes toward appropriate use of fingerspelling, idioms and phrases
- for the first time ever, the new DVD will include a certified interpreter, a CODA, who will show every viewer how to express / interpret five short stories and for them to analyze and understand how a variety of ways of expressing the same story can still carry the same meaning/message
- more new Idioms & Phrases in ASL to reinforce expressive skills
- loads of bonus sign-to-voice exercise featurettes
Years of development as well as countless miles of travels behind this 2nd interpreter training DVD are certainly an asset to your collection. We are confident you will enjoy and appreciate the new experience! You are welcome to pre-order your copy today by clicking on the link below:

Family in Spotlight
Whenever one of us gets stressed out, as you know how difficult life can be at times, some of our friends would send us emails and/or e-gifts of encouragements/moral support with animated hearts (i.e. via Facebook) or heart-warming pictures of puppies or kittens. There is also one other thing that melts our hearts: seeing a whole family sign together, especially children and their parents using ASL to elevate communication to an higher level. We’d like sharing this awesome family from Texas who wrote us about one of our products:
“Hello,
Recently I purchased both volumes of American Sign Language for Kids and Adults for my two children through Amazon. They absolutely love them. They really respond to the animal theme and love the animal rescues. My question is do any of the other videos you have produced feature animals? If not, will you be coming out with a volume three for adults and children? My oldest and I, although both hearing, really want to be able to understand and express ourselves in Sign Language and would like to add more to our curriculum. Thank you for your time and these wonderful videos.
Morgen Becker,
Irving, Texas”
We want to thank Morgen and her children - they are one of the reasons we remind ourselves to continue in contributing our life’s work, everyday. Yes, we promise to eventually publish 3rd and 4th ASL for Kids & Adults DVD volumes and will keep you guys updated about them.
Deaf-owner Company in Spotlight
It gives us nothing but pleasure to introduce Dr. Robert Harris, a Deaf gentleman and a friend, who established Harris Communications, Inc. in 1982. Harris Communications today is one of the largest company carrying over 2,000 quality products for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing people as well as people part of the American Sign Language Community.
Dr. Harris, along with Dave Motes and Kassy Worm, two amazing people working at Harris Communications, are the reason other Deaf-owned companies, such as ourselves, get opportunities to portray work with high visibility throughout a fast-paced business world.
In fact, over this past summer and in return as a token of appreciation for their support of our work, we ordered some pizza, sodas, and cookies for their staff to munch on a casual Friday. Here are some of the pictures of people enjoying the treats - well, they deserve them.
Our fellow readers, please take a quick moment and visit Harris Communications and we are confident you’ll find something you need in time prior to the holiday season. All their products can either be purchased directly by telephone, TTY, mail or via their website. Better yet, they have a fan page at Facebook, please be sure to sign up as a fan so you’ll be on top of new products and specials available at Harris Communications.
