Hi Valerie, just a short comment about this :-) Karin Kestner is a well known SL-interpreter who is engaged to improve things here in Germany. She was a pioneer with her SL- CD-Roms called 777 Geb Ê° den "777 signs" Much more of interest however is her attempt to improve the signing skills of little deaf children. She published a CD "Tommys Gebaerdenwelt". Many people and schools purchased this CD. It ±± a nice one. One of our most popular deaf artists Thomas Zander - who is a brilliant signer - performed the signs. Karin Kestner found an artist who made wonderfull pictures. I show some of them on my homepage together with the SW-transcription of the signs which are performed on the first CD. https://www.gebaerdenschrift.de/read/tommys/tommys001.htm Later Karin Kestner got in contact with me and we discussed the Making of the CD from the point of view of an teacher for the Deaf. I asked for articles (gender) for all the nouns and asked especially for whole phrases instead of single signs. We are so much in need of well demonstrated (signed ) DGS - question - answer patterns - so hopefully much of this will come true on the next CD which is in production right now. We agreed that I ±_ l support her and contribute some transcriptions of a couple of signed phrases in SW (GebaerdenSchrift) . I think that this will become another chance to get many people in contact with the beautifull chance SW offers. In the first step people will watch the videos and learn from that - lateron they will be able to analyze, identify oder simply accept the written SW - phrases as a written form of the movements they saw on the video. Without too much hard work many people will get the chance of a first impression. I like this combination and I do hope that we will succeed in our goal to offer better materials to teacher and students to improve their comunicative skills ! All the best Stefan ;-) ----- Original Message ----- From: Valerie Sutton To: Sent: Saturday, February 17, 2001 3:38 AM Subject: Another German web site shows SignWriting... > February 15, 2001 > SignWriting List > > Dear SignWriting List: > > Another German web site shows SignWriting... > https://www.kestner.de/tommy/frameset04f.html > > Here is a screen capture.
