[Sw-l] 1000 SignWriting Questions

[Ms. AnnaGrace]

Hi All,

The purpose of this thread is just so perfect for me to read and learn.
It would help,* if possible*, to *include a video clip of the sign*. Seeing
the sign in motion would help me read (and proofread) the signwriting.
Otherwise, I cannot be of much help to you, especially when I only know
ASL. I do not know Libras or German Sign Language, etc.
Thanks and yours truly,
AnnaGrace
