Info
The “Signs” channel by Dr. Bill Vicars and ASL University (ASLU) is an American Sign Language (ASL) database or “sign bank.” The purpose of the database is to augment or support Lifeprint.com and other ASLU-related sites, channels, or resources.
This channel is not intended for out-of-context self-study
The video clips in this database are mainly intended to be embedded into the lessons and instructional pages at the Lifeprint.com site where context and explanation can help clarify the meaning and appropriate usage of the sign or signs being shown.
Instead of learning out of context from a database – it is much better to learn sign language by interacting with socially active native Deaf adult skilled signers using a curriculum (such as the ASLU Curriculum at Lifeprint.com) based on frequency of usage (rather than themes) and that has been designed to present vocabulary in meaningful contexts.
