Welcome
Message
in German Sign
Language
This
wonderful animation is on the opening
page of the German SignWriting web site,
designed and animated by Stefan Woehrmann,
a teacher of Deaf children in Osnabruck:
https://www.gebaerdenschrift.de
Historically, this is the first animation
of a full SignWriting sentence. For
those who know how to sign, it looks
as if someone is standing in front of
you, signing! You can follow along and
sign with the animation. Spoken languages
cannot be animated in the same way that
SignWriting can. Animated sentences
hold the potential of teaching deaf
children to read full sentences sooner,
and with better understanding.
