I will try to make a little video showing you all examples of these lovely games that Anny sent to me - I am so amazed at the detail and how beautifully artistic they are - teaching sign language vocabulary with SignWriting. It so fortunate that the two of you know each other in French-Switzerland.</div><div><br></div><div>And Dale - thank you for mentioning your project in Nicaragua. How fantastic that you continue to teach workshops for Deaf children, and you are using the SignWriting Basics manual and the Parkhursts wonderful textbook.</div><div><br></div><div>I will send another email message later with the links for our List members -</div><div><br></div><div>Send my best wishes to your students!</div><div><br></div><div>Val ;-)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Oct 29, 2019 at 12:09 PM Dale Spoor <<a href="mailto:dale.spoor27@gmail.com" target="_blank">dale.spoor27@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">For a number of years we have been providing sign language workshop for deaf children on our sister island, Ometepe, Nicaragua (Nicaraguan Sign Language).

On the SignWriting website, if you click on books, you'll see this one in the upper left-hand corner (the cover has a man in a red shirt in three different poses). It's only about 15 pages. A much more detailed version is the Signwriting book by Steve and Diane Parkhurst, which I think is #6 at this link-- close to 150 pages. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:-webkit-standard;font-size:medium">You can download or buy either of these.</span><div><br></div><div>Dale Spoor, Chair</div><div>Special Needs Committee</div><div>Bainbridge Ometepe Sister Islands Association</div></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Oct 28, 2019 at 11:50 PM Astrid Willi <<a href="mailto:astridwilli@gmail.com" target="_blank">astridwilli@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hello all.<br>
I am a French mom, from Switzerland, homeschooling my children : a 10yo girl, a 6yo boy, a 4yo girl deaf and a 10mo baby.<br>
I am very interested in learning SignWriting to further use it with my deaf daughter and my others children, it is of great importance to know different langages.<br>
My family learns LSF, like ASL, for almost 2 years but without any courses. The situation is very difficult here because it is all for oralism.<br>
I think I will soon learn ASL because there is a lot of in this langage.<br>
I don't know if there is online courses. <br>
Feel free to ask questions.<br>
Thank you for reading and have a good day.<br>
