Video Transcription Lessons in SignWriting

Mon Jan 22 18:08:49 UTC 2007

Jonathan,

i was educated orally but i picked up BSL from my best mate at my
boarding school.

However I did learn ISL when I was very young as my old primary school
principal is 'fluent' in Irish Sign Language - even thought it was an
oral school.
