Excellent literary model for American Sign Language. The non-manual markers are amazing.

Peter Cook is an excellent example of ASL's beautiful expression as seen in the facial expressions, prosody, and constructed action.

DCMP has improved so much with better access to technology - streaming. It is tough to find DVD materials related to ASL and Deafness for ASL classes with Deaf teacher requiring captions. Please keep this up! I definitely plan to use this service MORE for sure! Thank you!
