Video Transcription Lessons in SignWriting

[Jonathan]

Hi Shane and Adam,
    I have learned all of my sign language here while in Honduras mostly
from books and videos.  Also from spending some time with some Deaf
friends in El Salvador.  None of the Deaf here in town speak sign
language and I am doing my best to teach them. 
    I was wondering where you learned language and if you think that it
would've been easier if you had SignWriting when you learned.  I am
hoping that in the long run, SignWriting dictionaries will help me build
new vocabulary as does an English dictionary and help me put words to
some signs that I see in videos for which might get the general gist but
can put a word to them or some signs that I don't get at all.
