<DIV><SPAN class=250481720-23012005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>- we
have some wonderful email lessons on the web - search for e-lessons ;-)

<DIV><SPAN class=250481720-23012005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>There
is a great teaching book: "Learn to Read Goldilocks and the three bears" I
studied this book in detail several times - it shows Darline Clark Gunsaus in a
series of stills and next to each photo you see Valerie Suttons transcription -
this is a wonderful wonderful help!! </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=250481720-23012005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Learning to read SW is a matter of a few days - smile - but it takes some
time to develop a feeling and skill to become a scribe -</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=250481720-23012005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=250481720-23012005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>But
the interesting thing with this is - no matter what - if you violate some
spelling rules, if you pick the wrong arrow or neglect the symbols for the
differen arrow heads - usually SW is such a strong and powerful writing system
that you can understand the idea behind the written symbols --- I like that!

<DIV><SPAN class=250481720-23012005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Just
keep on writing looooooooooooooooong documents and show them to your audience
and try to find out - what do they perform - what do they understand? - or not
(smile) The scribe himself is easy off to understand his own style --

<DIV class=RTE>Hello Val and list,</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>I remember a few times to have seen messages about Signmaker
and lessons in Signspelling on the list. So now I am curious if there are
specific rules on where to put a handshape in relation to the head, or an
arrow: should it be nearer to the handshape or ... you know what I mean?</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Is there a set of rules how to build a sign in SignWriting?
Rules we must stick to. (a kind of roster)</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>I remember your messages about the sign for Belgium Val. The
hand was not in the correct place and the arrow was to short. The arrow had to
be closer to the handshape and so on...</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Maybe it's somewhere on the signwritingwebpage and I have not
looked close enough...</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Greetings Kathleen</DIV></DIV><BR clear=all>
