Hello from Hungary

[Jonathan y Yolaine]

Hi Edina,
Welcome to the Sign Writing list. I am sure you will find lots of help 
here as I have in the past few years.
I am Canadian but live in Honduras. Here the deaf use LESHO (LEguaje de 
Sen~as HOduren~as) or Honduras sign language. I am presently take a 
LESHO course to improve my knowledge of the language. I am wanting to 
study LESHO more in depth and help write down signs that aren't 
documented yet. So far there is only one LESHO book with basic vocabulary.
Looking forward to hearing more about your project and hope that you can 
share some of it with us too. This list is truly international and it 
has been a real pleasure to be able to learn from everybody´s experience.
