AW: AW: [sw-l] Private lesson with Val

[Valerie Sutton]

SignWriting List
August 18, 2005

Hello Nana and Stefan!
Stefan - You are absolutely correct...go right ahead and add the  
correct spelling for June in the Filipino SignPuddle...I was teaching  
Nana that the symbols needed to be closer to each other for writing  
in tight units, so I did not notice the incorrect symbol...thanks for  
showing us that! All I did was show Nana that the symbol should be  
above or closer to the handshape, rather than down so low...

Stefan has a wonderful knowledge of the symbols, which is so helpful  
for all of us!! Val ;-)
