Its not ASL, if the video of Jake talking about his course is any 
indication.  He is signing straight English word order..  Of course, you 
can write signed English in SW, I just have objections to it being 
marketed as an ASL course...

I am curious what all of you think of this new ASL course, that 
started advertizing through Google ads on our SignWriting home page...

http://www.rocketlanguages.com/sign-language/premium/specialoffer.php

Have you ever seen this new course?

We could write to them to ask permission to write it in SignWriting.

Do you think that would be a good idea?

Val ;-)

Hoi,
They advertise that they do not have weird and wonderful drawings ... and 
that you as a student do not need them :) Now obviously, SignWriting is 
writing ASL but I am sure that Jake does not know about SignWriting and if 
he does I am interested in his opinion about SignWriting ... :) 
Thanks,
    Gerard

Maybe not.
Because he says that it is difficult to read the pictures and drawings 
because they are bad.
In case of SignWriting it is different, you can read the sign very well, 
but first you have to learn it.

Gerard -
It doesn't matter what Jake's opinion is about SignWriting! 
Obviously, if he has never heard of it, or does not know it, then his 
opinion can only be that of a person who does not know it yet...but 
when he learns SignWriting later...then his opinion will have 
importance...

I have never met Jake, but I look forward to meeting him soon!

My question is to the ASL users...if the course Jake teaches is good 
ASL, and is a helpful course to people without SignWriting, then it 
will be a wonderful tool for us to write it in SignWriting, which 
will then be an added help to Jake's students...

People in the Sign Language worlds do not realize there is a way to 
write their language yet, and this would be a good way to collaborate 
with Jake, with his permission of course, to spread the idea that 
there is a way to write the language now...

But first I want the opinion of the ASL signwriters as to whether 
this course would be a good one to work with...

There are several courses in ASL that only use video, and we could 
contact any one f them and ask permission to write those courses in 
SignWriting, giving an added support for ASL students...

So I am just curious about opinions on the ASL course and should we 
contact Jake about adding some SignWriting?

All people, when they first hear about SignWriting, are surprised, 
but once they learn it I have never met a person who is against 
it...the only people who are against it, are those who do not know it...

Val ;-)

I was just looking at the address. I live right by where they are based.
