flat =About our Dictionary= As you update your vocab/sign chart in each unit, help the class build a sign language dictionary. Since ASL is an iconic language with no writing system, we must consider describing the signs in terms of five parameters and keywords. Our dictionary format uses a same format as your chart. So come often and contribute to our dictionary!
