Hello Eyasu and Everyone!
I am going to learn how to teach Receptive and Expressive again. I  
hope I can help you.

And I want to thank you for your question...I am happy you asked!

Have you seen your new web page?...

SignWriting in Ethiopia
http://www.SignWriting.org/ethiopia

If you click on Number 1 on that page, you will get:

Ethiopian Manual Alphabet
http://www.signwriting.org/ethiopia/ethiopia01.html

All of those pictures on that page, are Receptive. The person is  
facing us, and showing their own hands...In the next message, I will  
try to show you the Expressive of the same thing...and then later,  
how we write the difference in SignWriting.

Please tell me, by writing an email message, that you are following  
me...

I appreciate that, because it is hard for me to know if you have read  
my messages or not...

Val ;-)
