style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Thanks to a donation by Neil Bauman,
I got SW membership 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><o:p></o:p></p>
