Audio Explanation: There is no audio for the video dictionary. The intention of this is for you to focus on the signing and speech reaching. We believe that this builds awareness of the deaf experience. If you speak, vocalize the word as you say the sign. This will help you remember it and allow others to lipread what you are saying.
