Hi Tzippie,

Great! How is Japanese Sign Language different from ASL? Are the basic signs 
for eat, sleep, go and come the same? Does anyone know if there is a French 
Sign Language, a German one?  Also, if oral language is influenced by the 
environment and culture of its speakers, doesn't the fact that there are 
different sign languages give credence to the fact that sign is a language 
instead of a code like braille? Interesting topic, eh?

I will let Norm know you asked about him. Glad to hear about their interest in 
the college in Washington D.C.  Maybe some of them will attend soon?

Well, gotta run. See you on-line.

Ann P.
