again for this year. What I did not know at that time was that now it comes
with one free private lesson with Val! I was excited, but didn’t really
know what I wanted to use the lesson for. Then she mailed the SW e-mail about
when school starts again, I wrote and answer in SW but by accident mailed it to
Val privately instead of the list. Now Val took the opportunity to teach me
more. It was really great! I could tell from my writing that it looked
different from what I saw e.g. in the ASL dictionary, but I did not see where
the “problem” was. Now Val graciously pointed out a basic rule of
SW and all of a sudden it makes more sense. She even put her spelling
suggestions into Filipino SignPuddle. I have not had time to work on it, so
maybe you want to take a look to see the differences! I really enjoyed having
Val check some of my writing and being able to learn something. I am sure that
will also be very good when teaching others how to use SW. Thought I would let
you all know, maybe you would also enjoy a private lesson from Val. As far as I
understand one comes included in the membership, but then I think you can also
get more for additional payment, but Val probably knows more about that,
right? After I redo our signs, I will send my SW e-mail again, but this
time to the whole list so you can enjoy it, too.</span></font></span><span
