[Sw-l] Question about writing with Handshape from different perspectives

Hi Reubens,

I personally accept both ways. They produce the same sign. Both are
readable, understood, and meets the same target.

I am currently showing SW to children. If one child has not yet learned or
reached the level of a certain symbol, I use an alternative symbol they are
already familiar with.

Your video is fantastic. I would like to learn how to make a video like it.
Could you teach me and others how?

Thanks,

AnnaGrace
