Title: Barron’s 500 Flash Cards of American Sign Language
Review: Bought this set to help me study for my ASL class. Love the cards. They explain much better than my text book. I pull out the cards I need whenever we add more in class and can take them anywhere I go so I can go through them often. The pictures are nice and big and close up so you can see exactly what the person is doing, the description on the back is helpful if you are not entirely sure what is being done. Very clear and easy to understand. They are numbered and color coded alphabetically so you can put them back in order when you are done. They are laminated paper, but are still paper so treat them gently. Many people read laminated and think that means plastic covered, but they are not. It is more like they are coated, very similar to playing cards. They are still durable enough if you are not rough with them. I would not hesitate to recommend them. Like I said, they are much easier to understand than my textbook.

Title: GREAT learning tool for ASL
Review: I have been studying ASL for a while now and have various books and tools to help me practice. These cards are some of the most extensive I have seen so far. Though they obviously can’t contain everything that you will need, they do have the most practical words for everyday usage in a very clear format on each card.The box contains a binder ring and each card is whole punched so that you can make you own “study sets” if you like. They are alphabetized by color and are numbered so that they can be placed back in order if you choose to store them that way for quick reference after using them.About the size of two playing cards, and roughly the consistency of playing cards, they are big enough to see clearly but small enough to carry along with you.There are arrows showing movement direction and they are easy to understand but I would recommend that you already be a bit familiar with the real-life movements (maybe by having seen a video version first) in order to get the most out of this deck, since it is difficult to imagine precise movements/placement by looking at a two-dimensional card.These cards are a great addition to any practice tools you might have for learning and recalling many signs, so I highly recommend them.

Title: Very nice box and cards
Review: Looked at so many ASL flash cards but thos is the only set that didn’t tell you what the sign was on the front of the card. That way you actually learn the sign. The box itself is nice and strong and should hold up for awhile. Cards remind me of playing cards. Very nice set and I highly recommend them.

Title: READ THIS BEFORE PURCHASING, Updated Review: Mistake Found
Review: UPDATE: Mistake found— the “Student” card is incorrect (both the description and the images), the images on the student card depicts the sign for expensive. Please see the photos I’ve added to this review.I’ve gone through this set and thoroughly evaluated its content and here’s what you need to know:1. The cards are thin and flimsy. I’m learning sign language to better communicate with my special needs daughter (age 4) I had to laminate every card before allowing her to handle them. (FYI: after lamination the cards no longer fit in the box they came in… but it’s a nice box so I up-cycled it to store my playing card decks)2. They’re sorted alphabetically which actually drove me nuts. Personally, I think they should’ve been sorted by subject (I.e. emotions, people, colors, animals, weather, etc.) I reorganized them which took some time but was very helpful when it came to studying.3. CONTENT3a. The inclusion and exclusion of some words was peculiar. The words “magic” and “physics” are included but those words seemed very out of place. Physics would’ve made more sense if other school subjects were included but they’re not. In addition, there were words like summer which would make you think the other seasons (winter, fall, and spring) are included but they’re not.3b. I thought some of the cards should’ve had more information. For example, I looked up the other seasons in my ASL dictionary and found that some of the signs are similar… it would’ve been very helpful to have that noted on the card. Ex: the “cold” sign can also mean winter and you can use either the “S” or “W” hands. Furthermore, the sign for “grow” (included in the set) can also be used to say Spring but there’s no note or indication of this on the card itself. The sign for “wish” is included and is the exact same sign for hungry but again the card doesn’t mention this. Luckily I already knew the sign for hungry (card not included) so that was my red flag to investigate other cards.4. CLARITY4a. Some of the illustrations & descriptions could’ve been more clear. For example: “full” and “enough” I’ll include pictures of these cards with the ASL dictionary definitions so you can compare them to see exactly what I mean; the ASL dictionary has a much better description than the cards do and this is consistent (ie. the dictionary description is equal to or more often, better than the flash card’s definition.4b. Side note: the “full” card isn’t referring to full as in when you’ve had plenty to eat, we know this because the card provided a synonym at the bottom: “synonym fill” and listed related words: “159. Crowded, 205. Enough” the numbers here indicate that word’s place in the set (as I mentioned, I reorganized my set by subject so the numbers didn’t help me but if you like the way the related words are listed on the cards and you want to utilize it for referencing then don’t reorganize your set). ***Refer to the photos I’ve uploaded5. Here are some other words in the set: ***Farm, School, Jail, College, Basement, Room, Home, Camp, City, Earth, California, Country, Africa, America, Canada / ***Number, Add to, Divide (math), Cheap, Cost, Cent, How many, Many, Money, Profit, Rich, Buy, Expensive, Broke (no money), Earn, Owe / ***Color, Black, White, Orange, Green, Blue, Pink, Red, Yellow, Purple, Brown / ***Temperature, Cold, Hot, Warm, Cool, Snow, Thunder, Lightning, Rain / ***Vacation, Travel, Visit, Depart, Escape, Attend, Arrive, Come, Chase, Kick, Jump, Fall down, Dance, Stand, Sit, Play(fun), Stop(cease), Go, Balance, Follow (trail), Catch up, Get in, Get on, Wait, Stay, Hurry, Walk, Close, Applaud, Build, Create, Make(produce), Look for, Borrow, Drop, Destroy, Break(damage), Fix, Improve, Wash / ***Ahead, Approximately, Almost, Before, After, Start, End, Middle, Last, Above, In, Here, Area / ***Today, Yesterday, Tomorrow, Morning, Afternoon, Night, Year, Month, Week, Day, Hour, Minute, Early, Later, Past, Soon, Recently, Now, Not yet / ***I, My, You, Your, His/her, He/she, Person, People, Boy, Girl, Man, Woman, Husband, Wife, Mother, Father, Baby, Children, Daughter, Son, Aunt, Sweetheart, Audience, Doctor, Police, Assistant, Student, Boss / ***Cat, Dog, Tiger, Giraffe, Elephant, Turtle, Alligator, Bear, Cow, Mouse, Squirrel, Rabbit, Fish, Butterfly, Bug(insect), Spider / ***Clothes, Shoes, Bracelet, Medicine, Key, Candle, Book, Paper, Picture, Bell, Alarm, Ticket, Movie, Music, Stairs, Chair, Bed, Electricity, Computer, Machine, Microwave oven, Car, Parking, Airplane, Boat, Train, Bicycle, Baseball, Bowling / ***Live, Born, Dead, Grow, Summer, Flower, Tree, Wood, Fire (flame), Moon, Dark, Sunrise, Sunset / ***Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Thirsty, Eat, Drink, Popcorn, Onion, Potato, Egg, Cheese, Chicken, Bread, Pizza, Apple, Chocolate, Cookie, Candy, Milk, Soda, Water, Tea, Coffee, Sweet, Delicious, Cook, Bake, Kitchen, Knife / ***Who, What, When, Where, Why, How, Ask, Answer, What’s up / ***Darn, Boast, Scold, Resent, Mock (ridicule), Punish, Tease, Insult, Deceive, Quarrel, Bother, Conflict, Complain, Ignore, Refuse, Resist / ***Big, Small, Fast, Slow, Dirty, Clean, Old, Young, Pretty, Cute, Dark, Comfortable, Long, New / ***See, Heat, Listen, Smell, Dead, Sign / ***Polite, Please, Thank you, Excuse me, Sorry, Hello / ***Always, Never, Agree, Disagree, Easy, Difficult, Can’t, Can, Similar, Different, Same, Opposite, Lose(misplace), Find, With, Without, Appear(show up), Disappear, Right(correct), Wrong, Dangerous, Careful, (Be) Careful, Careless, No, Yes, Good, Bad / ***..ADDING MORE, CHECK BACK LATER FOR UPDATE6.Despite some serious flaws I still recommend these cards as a study method. The set’s shortcomings actually encouraged me to learn more and I gained a lot of insight simply by exploring the words in conjunction with my ASL dictionary (I’ve also reviewed the dictionary if you’re interested). I chose to write additional information on the cards and to facilitate quick referencing I wrote the dictionary page number on the card. I learn really well with flash cards and if you do too I think you’ll benefit from this set.

Title: High quality set of ASL flash cards for a great price
Review: I really love this set so far. Cards come with the hole already punched to put them on a ring that was included in the box. The box is nice and sturdy as well.There is a book that explains how to use the cards and the back has all the words and where they are in the box. Each card has a few pictures and directions of how to sign the word. Unlike most ASL sets, this has the sign on one side and the meaning on the other. Great set and I would buy again and recommend this set to any new learner.

Review: I am new to ASL, so I bought these cards to learn some basic vocabulary as I have a deaf relative currently living with me. I found about half of the words useful, as my relative is developmentally disabled and has a relatively small vocabulary. I would have preferred the cards to be sorted by subject, rather than alphabetically. I spent 2 hours doing that the day I got the set, but I like the binder ring concept. after I sorted them to my needs, I attached the most useful groups to the ring and keep them in my purse for fast reference, and to study a particular theme, like colors, whenever I have some spare time. the photos are well-executed, with red arrows indicating motion, and multiple photos for more complex words or phrases. in general, this set has been very useful.

Review: Bought it used – good.The cards were a bit shuffled but they were all there. You can tell it wasn’t brand new, but non the less they were all perfectly readable and useable.Fun way to learn the ASL language.Instructions are clear and I really appreciate the photographs. They help far more than drawings.5/5, no complaintsWould recommend!
