Honza -
I am very bad at reading word descriptions of movement and this one  
below I really don't understand at all...

I thought I remembered that there was an online video dictionary of  
Czech signs? Am I wrong? I think that is how I saw the sign for Czech  
a long time ago...so maybe that dictionary has a video of SCHOOL in  
Czech Sign Language?...Val ;-)

PS. Try to write it in SignWriting...it is better to at least show us  
something, rather than using words only...
