This book is a must have! The English language is a struggle even for people who grew up with it as their native language. To be able to understand and explain what someone means by their word choice can be a struggle. This book is designed for you to succeed in your word and register choices. This book has helped me expand my vocabulary from normal dictionary usage to a broader, more varied useage. I have found that my own word choices has expanded and that my ability to truly understand a word and what its meaning is has also grown. A must have for all interpreters.

This book is so great for use in an ASL classroom! I love all the examples for practice understanding the english side of words with multiple meanings in their usage and how applicable it is to the field of Interpreting. Truly a beneficial classroom tool for developing signers who want to further explore the intrigue and complexity that American Sign Language is, as a language. Highly recommended as part of this author's collection of yellow books for studying ASL.

This book is especially helpful if you're someone like me who struggles a bit with multiple meanings. It breaks the meanings down for you so you can really understand what they mean in English, and are then able to put them back out onto your hands in ASL. It provides great perspective as to how complex and confusing the English language can be. For someone who's first language is ASL and not English, such words and phrases can be confusing. It's important to fully understand them in English before converting them to ASL. Great for interpreting students just starting out.

This book is incredibly helpful in terms of learning ASL as a whole, separate language, as opposed to just learning all the signs and matching them with English words. This book helps the reader to really think about the meaning of what they're saying and convey it in the most accurate way possible. ASL students should get this book as early on in their learning as possible.

This book is great! It gives you many many examples and gets you thinking about how you would explain some things we say in English that everyone knows what means, in sign language where if you sign it the way it is said in English, wouldn't make a lot of sense! It allows you to think of the ways you would sign it yourself and I found that extremely helpful. I would highly recommend this book.

This book is great for making you think deeper about the true meaning of English phrases and converting them into ASL. I will say you should know some ASL before you purchase because the book is more a type of workbook to write in. This book has helped me understand many complex English concepts and I would recommend to any ASL student.

2.5 stars. As far as the examples used, I would give this book 5+ stars. However, if you buy it for self-study, I would give it 0 starts. It's essentially worthless for self-study because it has no glossing to show you how the phrases are signed using ASL. You'd be guessing with no way or knowing if what you're doing is correct. I actually gave it to my teacher for classroom use.
