[Sw-l] Lessons in SignWriting — Interactive Edition

[Josenilson da Silva Mendes]

Que trabalho maravilhoso, Amit!

Já vou divulgar no nosso grupo de escrita de sinais do Brasil. Com certeza
vai ajudar muito os aprendizes iniciantes.

Gostaria de saber como é seu personal sign in ASL. O meu você pode ver em
minha foto do perfil no Gmail.

Você pediu para apontar correções. Bem, aí nessa imagem da animação 3d, as
mãos estão se movendo separadas e em paralelo, sem sobreposição dos
movimentos. A seta não corresponde à ortografia do sistema. A animação
precisa ser alterada para evitar confundir o aprendiz.

Saudações.
