We got flashcards called Talking Pictgures which have simple concepts on
the front and either sign language or the translation of the concept into
english, spanish, french, german and italian.  They were done by a
company called Crestwood Company 6625 N. Sidney Place Milwaukee WI 53209
-- 414-352-5678.  They have a catalog of communication aids for children
and adults. Good luck !
