All the more reason for you to start writing in Northern Ireland Sign 
Language or BSL right now! We can sit around and talk, but writing 
documents and literature is more important.

Let's start translating the first workbook used in the SignWriting 
Literacy Project...We need to translate it into Northern Ireland Sign 
Language. Post the translation to this LIst, and then I will start a 
web page for you showing your new document, and then you can print it 
and show it to people in Northern Ireland...

We will take it one page at a time...I am taking the page from this 
document, which you can download too...

Goldilocks Workbook, SignWriting Level 1 (ASL)
http://www.SignWriting.org/archive/docs1/sw0076-US-Goldilocks-Level1.pdf

Here is the first page in the workbook. What is your sign for HOUSE in 
Northern Ireland Sign Language, Shane? Please create it in SignPuddle, 
and then post the sign to the List...I await your reply!!...
