[sw-l] SignWriting in Sign Language classes

[Adam Frost]

I was trying to get that, but for some reason I just couldn't seem to find that shadeing. I'll change it. :-)
Question: what about the beginning of that sign?

Adam -
This is totally amazing - congrats on this great idea and I hope you  
continue to develop it further...

One suggestion...if you can use a Front View of a handshape, rather  
than the Top View of the symbols, and both are correct...then choose  
the Front View when at all possible...

for example, in the sign for LEARN...in the right hand....you have  
one handshape from the Front View...why not the other two?...for  
example, the last position could be this handshape from the Front  
View (see attached)...

the Top View is harder..so when you can use a Front View, you should,  
for beginner's sake. Of course the left hand has to be parallel to  
the Floor so that is fine...but I mean the handshape touching the  
head...
