L i cannot stay longer, because my new semester starts in october and i have to be back in hamburg then. time is passing by much too fast. my third week started today and i think i already learned a lot - but the best thing is that i’m having so much fun. i guess, i have a great mentor ;) i yet learned a lot about signwriting and hope that after these eight weeks i can do the signwriting almost perfect J. katrin</div></blockquote><br></div><div><br></div><div>Hello Katrin!</div><div>What a wonderful day...Two messages from Germany. It is wonderful to meet you, Katrin, and of course, also Janna!</div><div><br></div><div>And yes, I cannot imagine a better teacher than Stefan. We enjoy Stefan's positive artistic and creative teaching of SignWriting. Stefan's textbook is really impressive....I hope you learn to write German Sign Language in SignWriting and will maybe someday write real literature, like children's stories, or perhaps even school textbooks in SignWriting. Recently there have been statistical research studies that show that Deaf student's test scores improve with SignWriting in the classroom...</div><div><br></div><div>Here in the US we have started the "SignWriting Literature Project". Our goal is to write and publish much new literature written in American Sign Language.
