Private tutoring would likely be prohibitively expensive, but I for one would be willing to pay for much less than that. I'd love to be given some example sentences illustrating important points, translate them myself into SW, and than be given a correct transcription to compare mine against. No more than that. It could be done over e-mail, with the SW portion in .sgn files; pretty easy to do if people want it. > ------------------------------ > > On Tues, 24 Aug, Valerie wrote; > > Hello Stefan and SignWriting List Members - > > This is a very good question, Stefan, and something that has been on my > mind for sometime.
