    Sign for 'Thus far

    how about using the sign "been" as used in "I've been on vacation for a week".. maybe there is another english definition for it.. but uses both index fingers pointed at yourself.. and rolling them up and towards the other person. something as in going from past-tense to the present. Same...

    Have u ever passed up a once in a lifetime opportunity?

    My personal opinion is that everyday is a once in a lifetime opportunity to do something.. once that day is gone.. you can NEVER get it back! As far as a typical "once in a lifetime opportunity" It would have to be not quitting my job sooner to spend more time with my father before he passed...

    sign language versus ear implants

    do you have much of a choice in the matter? This is the power of socialized medicine.. I have heard that in Sweden, 90% or more of all deaf children are implanted.. children are tested young and implanted very early in life.. It seems that by implanting a child early the government can save...

    For you financial wizards out there ...

    Well.. DELL was a good stock for a while.. until they started having production issues.. and HP started taking more and more of the market share.. One of the things you have to realize about the stockmarket that I learned through some very expensive lessons.. A stock does not always trade at...

    Question

    SEE is much easier to learn especially for individuals know already know English due to the same syntax and the lack of a need to learn the written form of the language as well. This is one reason I really like this method.. especially when trying to teach people with previous experience of...

    Question

    Ok, I just got done reading the article.. my thoughts on it are this.. It is a very well written article first and foremost.. with only a few parts of the testing he omitted, or I just did not see.. 1.) number of individuals in the tests being performed 2.) He used various controls...

    Question

    Yes, but isnt the goal what we have been discussing over the last few posts been the step from a signed language to English? As I stated earlier ASL uses none of the usual Syntax that english uses.. ESE is a language.. its english! just a signed form.. think of it as just another method like...

    Question

    I am not really sure how you would like me to answer this question.. but I will try.. People learn a language through study and use.. another way people learn is though mimicry.. a child learns their first words by their parents talking.. the child tries to mimic his/her parents in an attempt...

    Question

    but hearing babies do not rely on sign once they are able to speak. An issue I have had with learning ASL only has been the lack of english skills both in writing, reading, and speaking. people who were raised in a more oral environment tend to have better reading and writing skills which...
