Valerie, the only part I could not for the life of me figure out using the
knowledge I already have is the last big card. Everything else is clear and to
boot, I was able to explain what the symbols meant to my husband who does not
know any ASL to speak of--only simple exposure. I've never studied sign
writing--this is on my Fall agenda--however it's clear to me that if you
understand the signs prior to coming in contact with SignWriting, you can
easily pick up SignWriting. Cheryl
