<br><span></span></div><div><span>I found myself being able to follow her and sign myself very quickly from the subject matter.<span> </span><br>

<span>However, writing her signs quickly is a challenge. Here are 8 signs from a transcription. It is not perfect, but this is "hand" writing, not computer writing.<span> </span><br></span></div><div> </div><div>
