I've been wondering.
When I learned French the teacher told us to try to think in French in order to learn it well, and be able to use it conversationally.
How hard is it for someone who is not a native speaker of ASL/ESL/PSE to think in sign? Is it possible or is it always going to be a matter of "I'm thinking "teach" so I will sign "teach"? Is it harder for someone who is a native speaker of English to think in ASL because of word order?
