Hi Wayne, thanks for your answer. It sounds great what you describe about your activities. To be able to "working like mad" is a very helpfull skill in order to learn to transcribe videos in SW - ;-) No , Iīm sorry - I canīt read the JSL - video fine - but the poor quality allows me to guess what kind of movement the signer performs. Especially the important details we are going to discuss " facial expressions - cheeks, eyebrows, mouth ...some fingermovements are hardly to be seen. But - nevertheless - Iīm very gratefull that I could manage to see the video at all. The excellent gifs Valerie offers on our home page are helpfull, though I would love to learn to decide on my own what frame to choose ... You are right the video-format NTSC canīt be viewed on my recorder. I went to a shop and was so happy that they could copy the video in another format PAL. Although there are stripes and other complications Iīm happy to be able to look very carefully frame by frame at it on my computer. So I can decide which of the frames would allow the best /sharpest view. Itīs fun to learn other languages isnīt it ? Did you ever learn some German ? All the best and have a great day Stefan ;-) ----- Original Message ----- From: Wayne Smith To: Sent: Sunday, July 30, 2000 1:38 AM Subject: Re: Shyuwa > Stefan Woehrmann wrote: > > what does "Shyuwa" mean -- ? > > Stefan - > "Shyuwa" (I would normally write it "shuwa") is the Japanese word > for "sign language". > I'm glad we're continuing with this project, but it'll be a few > days before I get a chance to look at the video.
