In one hour, this instructional video will teach you the sign language alphabet and more than 300 word signs, allowing you to communicate with the more than 20 million deaf and hard-of-hearing people living in North America. Host Anthony Natale (of Mr. Holland's Opus, Jerry Maguire and television's "Ellen") also demonstrates how the deaf tackle a range of everyday tasks -- from driving and reading lips to talking on the phone and watching movies.
