<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>I'll give you a translation in the morning as I am about to go to bed. In the mean time, what James (the man in the video) is talking about is that English cannot be taught to deaf children by SEE, PSE, cued speech, or any other Manually Coded English out there. History has shown that deaf people's English skills are far below par with these methods. The only way for a deaf child (or any deaf person for that matter) to learn English is through ASL. Basically using ASL to explain rules in English and why they are compared to rules in ASL. Hope this helps until I (or someone else if they beat me to it) write a translation. ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>Adam<br><br>On Oct 11, 2009, at 11:55 PM, Anne-Claude Prélaz Girod <<a href="mailto:acpg@vtxnet.ch">acpg@vtxnet.ch</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>same problem with me.....<div><br></div><div>Anny<br><div><div>Le 12 oct. 09 à 08:46, Stefan Wöhrmann a écrit :</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div lang="DE" link="blue" vlink="blue" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="PersonName"><div class="Section1"><div style="margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; margin-top: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy; ">Hi Valerie and listmembers,<o:p></o:p></span></font></div><div style="margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; margin-top: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy; ">unfortunately I cannot understand what he is talking/signing about.<o:p></o:p></span></font></div><div style="margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; margin-top: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy; ">Is there anywhere a short translation?<o:p></o:p></span></font></div><div style="margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; margin-top: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy; ">I can imagine that it has something to do with my favourite concept of teaching deaf children.
