Hi Shane and Adam,<br>
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. <br>
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.<br>

I was debating whether I should do the video transcription lessons as
<br>
well as because I don't do a whole lot of transcription from videos.
<br>
But then I got thinking about your offer to be a DAC member, which I
<br>
would much like, and I realize that I would probably do some video
<br>
transcription as a DAC member for SW services. So I am rambling off to
<br>
say sign me up for tis course too.

PS It was fine for you telling the list about me working as an
<br>
interpreter. (I like my job and I like even more having people wonder
<br>
how that can be with me being Deaf. Heehee.)
