Hello Andre!
I am sorry to tell you I only have the book in Danish, and although I  
could easily translate it myself into English, and so could several  
other friends of mine, the translation never got done...so it is still  
only in Danish...but I agree it would be great to have an English  
version and in time I will try to get the whole Danish book scanned in  
so we can do the translation quickly...

See below for the description of the Danish publication...

     This is an 80-page published report from Denmark. SignWriting was  
taught to Deaf children in the Danish School System in the 1980's.  
This report summarizes the results and is quite detailed.

     The report is written in Danish and Danish Sign Language. The  
teachers state their objectives, discuss the children, show examples  
of their work, and then summarize with the results and opinions from  
the participants. There are also specific examples of how they taught  
SignWriting, what was hard, what was easy, and so forth.

     I will be happy to translate the Danish into English, and publish  
the report on our SignWriting Web Site, but first I will write to the  
publishers and authors for permission. So hopefully that will happen  
in the future!

     For further information, write to me :-)
