I have no idea about the technical limitations of Duolingo, but I really like it as a user and it is very well-known. I just had a little go at learning Arabic on Duolingo and it starts with teaching you the alphabet. In a similar way it could start teaching you how SignWriting works and next use SignWriting to teach you the actual sign language (like ASL). </div><div><br></div><div>Have a nice day!</div><div>Suzanne</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, May 24, 2023 at 1:06 PM Jonathan Duncan <<a href="mailto:joyoduncan@gmail.com" target="_blank">joyoduncan@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hi All,<br>
<br>
I would like you input brainstorming, what app for SignWriting <br>
could I write that would make people feel good about themselves. Before <br>
I've focused more on what I thought would be useful, or what I wanted to <br>
have myself for SignWriting. But now I want to explore abit more on the <br>
emotional side of things. I could be people in the Deaf community, <br>
their family, friends, employers or any other group of people related to <br>
SignWriting.<br>
<br>
<br>
Please send me all of your crazy ideas too.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
