[Erika]

Liebe Stefan - how great to hear this update! I hope I will get the chance to come again and see all the progress you and the students have mad. In any case, I look forward to hearing about it in your presentation.
And I also appreciated the chance to try to read your message in German - good practice for my poor German skills!

I have guessed it already from the beginning. - Smile - only now I realize how mistaken great tool, method and our common work. You'd be surprised to see with what ease, speed and naturalness to use all of the children in this class Delegs program and how impressive turn out the results of the articulation course.

Just hard to believe that you can do as a user notes, notices, requests, suggestions for improvement, which are then taken up by these experts and see the development of this fantastic software reflected.

Is not that great? Me even more excited that these students now have a sense that they have understood the message perfectly behaved, but are not sure how the same idea is expressed in writing: präszise spelling, proper grammar, ... Now come spontaneously (! !) questions exactly this: What is the word for the gesture? How do you spell that? Can you say so? ...

With increasing size of the dictionary the Delegs program is a tool that can be a great learning aid on the way to acquire the respective phonetic language of the country for all deaf children in the world safely. I wonder if in the course of the spread of this insight, which will then also increasingly found of me developed mouth pictures in sign writing in other SignPuddle dictionaries.

Du würdest dich wundern zu erleben, mit welcher Leichtigkeit, Geschwindigkeit und Selbstverständlichkeit alle Kinder in dieser Klasse das delegs-Programm nutzen und wie beeindruckend die Ergebnisse des Artikulationslehrgangs ausfallen.
