Ooops! I made a typo in my comment! I meant to say that in this context the
use of Signed German need not undermind the acquisition of DGS (German Sign
Language)!

Again, enjoying watching from home!

Just chiming in to say that I've had the pleasure to see in person Stefan's
students working with this program and was very impressed with how effective
it is. 

One nice thing is that Stefan not only asks them to use the program to
compare DGS and German, but also to compare DGS with Signed German. In this
way, even if students use Signed German as a bridge for understanding German
grammar, they can also clearly see how DGS grammar differs from Signed
German. 

Thus, the use of Signed German in this context need not undermine students'
acquisition of Signed German. :)

Thanks Valerie! It's not so much that I want to develop an efficient or
QWERTY keyboard, just that I was curious whether Yair started from one of
those principles. :) 

Like you, I've used differently arranged keyboards in different countries
and I imagine it's mostly a matter of developing habits that make typing
efficient.

Hi - I'm enjoying the presentation from home. I'm not sure how to ask
questions live..;-((( 

Would it be possible to get a demonstration on how long it takes to write a
sentence with this keypoard without using a dictionary in the background? 

Can you write the sentence in ASL   "SignWriting is a wonderful invention." 

All best Stefan

Hi all! I'm enjoying the presentation from home. I'm not sure how to ask
questions live (and I remember the difficulties caused last year when too
many people tried to participate at once), so I thought I'd post questions
here, to be answered later at people's convenience.

So, Yair, this is really great. A quick question: in setting up the
keyboard, how did you decide where to place different elements on the split
board? I'm interested in the physical skill/habits involved in typing. Given
that this is a different type of writing system, I'm wondering what research
you might have done to come up with a layout that might be physically
efficient, or perhaps intuitive for those accustomed to using a qwerty
keyboard, or whether there were other kinds of considerations.

Thanks!
