I'm not sure I understand the reasons behind this technique or the associated keyboard entry method. What are the benefits over finger-spelling in existing sign languages such as BSL and ASL, or using existing text entry techniques for mobile devices?

An alternative fingerspelling method is called PIDT. Check it out on youtube.com

Hi Beth,

Sorry it's taken so long to reply but I've been on holiday for a while. Glad you find the blog interesting and useful :) I'm guessing I'm way too late for your homework but let me know if there's anything else I can help with in future. Not that I'm necessarily the best person to ask but I can try...

hey,
i love reading your blog! i've just started my level 2 in bsl and after learning AUSLAN for over 10 years it's difficult moving on to BSL. I find your blog and links are really helping me with my level 2 course.
i have some homework this week i'm hoping you can help me with..it's all about sentence structure. sounds easy to you probably because you've done it all before but it's not so easy for me! so if you think, or are interested in helping me please could you send me a quick email? my address is redcanadahat@hotmail.co.uk or you can find me on facebook: Beth hale :-)

Thanks x
