Additional Information:

POLITICS: The sign for "politics" uses an initialized form of the sign GOVERNMENT. You do the sign for GOVERNMENT but you do it with a "P" handshape. Hmmm, actually it is more of a "K" than a "P" since the orientation is with the index finger pointing up and the tip of the middle finger touches the forehead.

VIDEO RELAY SERVICE (VRS): A Video Relay Service is a type of interpreter service that allows Deaf persons to use a Video Phone to call an interpreter who then calls a Hearing person (or electronic answering system) and relays messages between the Deaf person and the person being called.

Hearing Ear Dogs: Service animals that have been specifically trained to assist Deaf persons. For example, if someone knocks at the door the dog barks or otherwise alerts the Deaf person. Another example is if a Deaf person gets out of the car and accidentally drops her keys--the dog will hear it and alert the Deaf person.

Notes:

STUCK also appears in the Lesson 31 vocabulary; its inclusion here is a re-teach, not an error. The source's own review line ("Review: IDEA (from Lesson 4)") is preserved as the IDEA entry in the Review Vocabulary list above. ROLLER-SKATE (item 02), ORGANIZATION (item 10), MUST (item 12) and WE-TWO (item 18) have no verified sign page anywhere in the corpus, so they are not linked in the review list. POLITICS likewise has no sign page; it is taught in the Additional Information section via the GOVERNMENT sign and listed unlinked in the Expansion Vocabulary. The second, untitled video embedded after the practice sheets in the source page has been converted to the "Lesson 38 (supplemental video)" player button.
