Maybe, that was my problem (smile). Even if I had no vision problem, it would
have been difficult for me to follow the signs, anyway. Maybe, I gave up too
soon and should try again. Thanks!

One of my friends has worked as a teacher and now in an administrative
position at the Illinois School for the Deaf. She knows sign language and has
taught it, but she says that even people with normal vision soometimes have
troouble following the kids' signs. They make up shortcuts, just as we do when
we speak, and sometimes it can be very hard to follow.

I have taken sign language classes and also found it frustrating because of
my vision problem. I had difficulty reading the sign language quickly and
producing the signs since I had difficulty seeing the exact nature of the signs
to copy. Like you I am interested in Deaf Culture and wish that I had a more
effective way to sign. I am glad to know that someone else had the same
experience as I had. At one time I wanted to teach kids with hearing
impairments but gave up because signing was difficult for me.
