I am an ASL student at The Crown College of the Bible in Knoxville, TN.</div><div><br></div><div>First of all, I want to tell you how greatful I am that I stumbled upon SignWriting. I am studying to become a Bible Translator for the Deaf around the world and I am seriously considering using SignWriting in my translation work. </div><div><br></div><div>I have been observing this forum for a long time by means of email and I am excited to see so much open debate and dialogue. Truely, SignWriting is a bigger than any one of us. </div><div><br></div><div>That being said, ASL is a completely seperate language (as you know). My question to you is, do you also mean to ask what is the best way to direct someone to read the SignPuddle in ASL or are you only asking how to express this in English? You have a few responses which answer this question from an English perspective, but if you intended to ask also for the ASL perspective, I would be happy to inquire with the Deaf Community to give you some feedback. I'm asking because I wasn't clear on which you were asking.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, I have a question for you. Does anyone ever offer classes on SignWriting on the east coast? I am interested in taking a class next summer but the distance to California and the expense of the trip might be too much for me right now.</div><div><br></div><div>God Bless! </div><div><br></div><div>Deborah Waddell</div><div><br></div><div><a href="mailto:wadde9@aol.com">wadde9@aol.com</a></div><div>(865) 216-7909</div></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
