Boring ASL game, 2005-08-04
It's simply no fun. It dosen't even teach anything. The stories are boring and in the car game it says, "Don't drive off the road!" but you CAN'T go off the road even if you try. The stories are no fun, neither are the games. The stories are like PRESCHOOL stories and the games are too. They should of called it "ASL for Preschoolers". It dosen't teach very much when the person signs and the puppy suit dosen't even look good. Why it's 2 stars instead of 1 is because the car game is a tiny bit fun and the stories are a little funny. Signed, Chocolate Dog.

 Boring, worthless, dosen't teach (ASL for Kids CD) by Russian Blue Witch, 2005-08-04
This is not a very good product. It does not teach ASL and is very hard to work with. The stories take a really long time and they're worthless. Dogs shouldn't be able to sign and as you noticed, he hangs his paws down long before he's done which includes to the confusion of teaching ASL. For example, in the sentence "I can chase a ball" he may be signing "ball" while saying "can" witch makes children say the sentence "I can chase a cat" as "I ball chase a cat" which sounds like the word "eyeball" which dosen't help. He's really a silly guy in a puppy suit which dosen't look like a puppy suit at all, it looks like a silly racoon. Also, the games are not at all fun! They should of focused more on games that are fun then games that teach sign languge and most of them don't teach sign languge anyway, so there's no point. I suggest you don't spend your money on this game inleast you like boring stories, games that are simply not any fun and a person who pertends to be a dog and keeps signing things but it's no help, then buy it, but I advice you DON'T! Sincerley, Russian Blue Witch. "Gotta trust the kid's review!" (No, that's not copying. My sister is StoryMaker who first thought of it.)

Good thing we only got ASL for Kids from the library..., 2005-08-03
I'm StoryMaker. Sorry for the harsh talk, but it is pretty boring. Mom (JaneLovesJesus) sorry, but I didn't like it much. Kids like me get BORED with ASL for Kids CD-ROM. Boring games and dosen't teach sign languge very well. And not enough animation, so little animation that instead of Paws moving a stupid guy in a puppy costume appeirs. Even though the guy in a puppy suit signs while she speaks, sometimes it gets really slow so you can't understand her signs and sometimes the voice is late for the signs and anyways you can't learn much by looking at a person signing and someone's voice saying what she says because in sign languge things are in a different order. The most sign languge it teaches is the help button in some of the games (the sign for "help") and the page number for the stories. Well, some games teach a little sign languge but when they do it is a boring game. The proggrammers were so bad that they couldn't allow games that were any fun and the screen resalution/size changes and when quitted it is STILL changed. Learning & fun never meet in the product (unlike ClueFinders and JumpStart). Try the Bravo family videos. (they teach ASL too!) Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!"

Absolutely Awful, 2003-03-27
This product will NOT help you learn ASL. It does not even teach you one single sign. The signing is so out of sync with the narrator that even I, who knows basic ASL, was confused most of the time. The graphics are amateurish and seem to have been drawn with Microsoft Paint. There is little to no opportunity to interact with the program. Unless you have a child who already knows ASL and who likes to be signed a short boring stories, then this program is worthless. What a disappointment!

Out of sync, 2000-12-27
This program was hard to use. The interpreter signs very quickly and beginners will find it very hard to learn. Also, the speech is out of sync with the signs. I found this program worthless.
