It would be better to create your own textbook from the beginning...the Parkhursts ended up writing their own as you know, as they have in several other countries. The Danes published a book called "TegnSkrift" years ago, and that was truly a new book...a very nice one, I might add!! It seems to take a decade to write a good textbook....at least it does for me... But do you agree with me that Swiss-German Sign Language and German Sign Language are two different languages, right? Or are they similar Sign Languages? For example, could your students use the textbook in Swiss-German Sign Language with no confusion? -- Val ;-) ----------------------------- Valerie Sutton SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org To Post A Message To The SW List: SignWriting List Archives: https://www.egroups.com/group/sw-l |
