Dear Netters,

I am interested in learning or learning about Chinese Sign Language
(or languages?). Could anyone give me ANY information as to how I should
proceed? Are there schools in China that teach it? Where in China?  How is
teaching conducted in schools for the deaf in China? Where can one find
such schools? Is there research in this area? How are deaf kids taught in
Taiwan or Singapore? Are the Sign Language the same in all those areas? ......

ANY information is gratefully appreciated.
