Forwarded message: From: Self <evvhecke> To: SignWriting List Subject: from Eline Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2000 10:54:39 +0200 Dear Valerie, I really hope that you are feeling better now! If not, I wish you a rapid recovery. Get well soon! I've read about your distress concerning programming SignWriter and also about the recent positive changes. I regret that I don't know anything about computers and programming, otherwise I honestly would have liked to helping you out. All I can say is that Kristof and I are working with MS-Dos program and that it's just fine. It may take a little time (but not even that long) to get used to the way of working with SignWriter, but I think that this goes for every new programme you start working with. We are really very glad for having SignWriter and SignWriting, because it makes our work a lot more 'comfortable', if you know what I mean. I may have mentionned this before, but I'm not sure. In july I gave a 2-hour presentation of SignWriting for Deaf adults. I prepared this presentation on the basis of the 'lessons in SignWriting' (video & map). I must say, these Deaf people wery very excited and interested! They had no problems at all with understanding the examples and they even noticed a mistake on my behalve. They are very eager to learn (more about) SignWriting, so I gave them all a lot of information, handouts etc. and the address of the SignWriting site. Kristof and I have planned to organise a number of such presentations, in order to make Deaf people acquainted with the possibilty of writing their own language. I am all excited about it myself! And I have been told that in both Flemish schools where people study to become interpreters for Deaf people, SignWriting will be incorporated in the courses. That's great isn't it! Well, I hope that this good news may have cheered you up a liitle. All the best, Eline. | ||||||||||||
