hmmm....Speaking as one still learning with the possibility of becoming certified, reception was very difficult for me to learn. I could speak ASL fine but understanding it was difficult. Now, when I am occassionally asked to voice for my husband or a friend, not only do I have to understand their "dialect" (as Reba pointed out above) but then I have to turn that back into a full english sentance and I have found that English translates to ASL a lot more easily than ASL translates into English. When you translate English to ASL you are (generally speaking) condensing. When you translate ASL back to English ( and again remember this is my elementary view) you have to search for the words to "fill in." Add to that that you have to convey the proper emotion. In my opinion, ASL-English is much more difficult.
