    Thanx again. This all helps me. If I sign a "u" (or something like it) on my forehead just in passing/greeting... What would it mean to an ASL reader? What would it mean to a non-ASL reader?

    Terps? It took me second but I understood. Yes, I am new. Again...I just want to respect. Some kids aren't diagnosed as deaf but they can't hear/read and are put in special education classrooms in the US. Then I am told, "Teach them to read!". I can't teach if I can't read. It still goes back...

    Thanx Bottesini, Berry, Karissa, Reba! As a hearing man, I sometimes do not see much. Do you know about French fingerspelling?

    Thanx again to all for posting. Re: the vowel sounds I was thinking in Spanish and English. I would fingerspell something different if I think in sound. BSL? Isn't that a separatist movement? ;)

    puedo. entiendo, pero hablo menos. lol. mi abuela fue de mexico. the "n" "u" thing is also a problem with English readers as are all vowels. so...ASL fingerspelling is universal regardless of what hand? and...are the vowels the same? I can fingerspell from a page but is it the same...

    I have a problem with fingerspelling. I'd rather NOT use it.

    I guess fingerspelling only matters if you can/have heard a sound language. In France, Italy, or Mexico - ASL fingerspelling would mean nothing. Yes?

    ok. That makes sense to me. I guess if you can sign with feeling, someone can read it. I work with many dyslexic students. They reverse letters in reading and that seems to be a BIG deal in American education, i.e., make them see a "b" as a "d". If you can see the whole word, the letters don't...

    ;) Thanx authentic. You made me see that what I am asking is about fingerspelling. So...does fingerspelling need to be on the right hand in order to be understood?

    This is probably a lame question that's been answered before this post. I am a hearing US Elementary School Teacher learning to sign...but I am left-handed. Is left-handedness a problem in communication within the deaf community?
