It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's an ASL Phenomenon! Who can leap high learning blocks in a single bound? Who can fly through complicated grammar lessons faster than a speeding bullet? Who can pack power courses into little video lessons? It's the Man of Sign, Dr. Mike Tuccelli! This amazing teacher from the planet Deaf is empowered with an excellent vision, and possesses remarkable instructional strength. Dr. Mike Tuccelli fights a never-ending battle for true ASL and just-plain low-priced learning materials!

I'm serious, folks. I've done my time sitting at the feet of tremendous Deaf ASL teachers and top-notch interpreter trainers. I've stayed up late studying long instructional videos until my eyes crossed. I've pored over sign language and interpreting books till the pages fall out in my fingers. But I've never seen anything like this video! With Sign ASL? Sure, You Can! - in a mere 56 minutes - Dr. Mike Tuccelli teaches an overview of the principles of ASL and takes the learner from point zero to enlightenment. He claims that experienced English-style signers who have been signing for over 15 years have seen the light of ASL interpreting via this video. I believe it. Like an enthusiastic tour guide in love with his territory, Dr. Tuccelli takes the viewer on a whirlwind trek through the landscape of ASL linguistics, stopping briefly at points of interest to provide simple, clear commentary and to call attention to unique features of the language. Walking learners from sign parameters to pronouns, duration to negation, and number incorporation to facial expression, this man makes it easy to see the difficult structure of a complex visual language. As I watched the tape, my six-year-old son and nine-year-old daughter stopped in for a look, then eagerly showed me that they could sign like the man on the video. Size modulations, rhetorical questions, emphasis and imperatives - they got it! And you will, too, if you get this tape.

Don't worry - it won't break your budget. Though it's truly a treasure, you can pick it up at a bargain-basement price. That's due to Dr. Tuccelli's secret formula: professional instruction by way of amateur technology nets power courses for pennies. Well, practically. (This video sells for $24.95.) Tuccelli's video offerings vary in technical quality. He describes them as "classroom quality" in contrast to "broadcast quality." ....

Something powerful just blew inland from Florida's coast: a storm of learning material that will sweep you out of a slump and put you down in front of your VCR for some head-spinning speed-lessons in American Sign Language and Deaf Culture. Catch the wave!

Review by Chris Wixtrom

 "I viewed one of your tapes at the Broward Community College language lab where I'm taking ASL 2. I was more impressed with your presentation than any I've seen before (and I've seen quite a few). It actually got me "fired up" and more excited about my abilities. " 

"I am currently enrolled in an interpreter training program at our local community college. My instructor played your video and I was so inspired by your style of explanation - your signs are so clear, percise, and easy to follow...I HAD to order this...as a matter of fact...I just borrowed it from the local library to practice with and learn from until I receive it in the mail.
I hope to be a repeat customer soon! I've shared this info with my classmates who were equally impressed...I hope they will all be ordering from you soon. Take care and God Bless!"

"Thank you very much for your prompt reply and excellent service. I continually find your videos to be top quality and your instructional clarity is superior to any videos I have seen." Dr. Florence Ouzts

Who is Dr. Sign?

The Doctor of Sign himself is Dr. Mike Tuccelli! ... Dr. Mike Tuccelli fights a never-ending battle for true ASL and just-plain low-priced learning materials!"

   He instructs ASL at the University of Florida in Gainesville and was Teacher of the Year 1999-2000. He was also instrumental in having the Florida Assembly vote 114-0 in favor of an ASL bill to require K-12 ASL teachers to become certified.
