I'm not sure, but I'm assuming that this is how the class will work.  Another 
totally blind friend of mine is also taking the course, and I imagine he and I 
will also be spending extra time outside of the classroom working with the 
instructor.

  I guess, you are going to communicate by having someone do the signs in your 
hands. Is this correct?

    I'm totally blind, and I'm taking a sign language class in the fall.  Once 
again I believe bookshare (and the wonderful volunteers who make it possible) 
will be responsible for giving me much needed additional help outside of the 
classroom.  Every little bit helps especially in a difficult subject such as 
this.  So thank you for the book!

      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.

        Hi CIndy
        Thanks again for takig the book on. The book will answer that questions 
and many others. I too have been interested n deaf culture but have never 
learned an effective way to learn to sign. I tried a class but it was full 
imersion and very frustating. Anyways, thanks again for the help. If you have 
any questions, I wstil have the file.
        Take care
        Anastasia
