SignWriting List
February 4, 2014

Hello André!
Maybe André Thibeault and his wife, Andree, who teaches SignWriting to Deaf children in Quebec, can be the reviewers of LSQ Picture Dictionary?  If they have time of course (Hi André and Andree - how are you both? do you have time to help? or do you know of others who have time? ;-)

Perhaps others here on the SignWriting List who know LSQ will want to help too…

When André and his family visited me on New Year’s Day 2013, I was really amazed and impressed with their dedication to writing LSQ and teaching it to Deaf children. André has written so many documents in LSQ now in SignPuddle Online…. I will never forget the one showing the airplane taking off and landing - that one is a classic!

Meanwhile, there are close to 4500 LSQ signs in SignPuddle Online right now:

LSQ Dictionary in SignPuddle
http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/searchword.php?ui=4&sgn=47&sTrm=*

You can try to find some of the signs needed already written, and when one is not there you can ask others and write it in SignPuddle and accomplish the task sign by sign - that is certainly the way I would start -

Here is an example - the sign for TEMPERATURE, in the ASL dictionary can be replaced by the LSQ sign…see attached -
