Classifiers in American Sign Language

Most of the texts we have don't explain classifiers separately
or in groups of handshapes. When you click on this link you'll see the classifiers grouped in handshapes, you then click the shapes to get a short description of some of the uses along with a floating hand to show you the shape. I found this to be helpful. If you have a high speed connection you can then watch a flash movie with a person showing a lot of signs as examples. However there is no interpretation so you may not know what you are seeing signed.
