Hi Angus,
isn#t it wonderfull ? Three simple signs but located to each other so
perfectly that you can read tehm like a flashcard !
I really had to smile - a big happy smile -
In addition a question from the learner to the Linguist - the eyebrows up in
the last sign - "possible" I would think of a question instead of an
affirmation
Can you explain to me why you picked eyebrows up ?
But nevertheless a wonderfull, wondrfull example how simple we can present
our experience :
Yes, Writing Signlanguage is possible -- sure it is - if you practice
every day - ha ;-)
Stefan ;-)
