No NO you did great in your explination.
I understand but I am
still having trouble doing it. I am supposed to sign "meaning for meaning"
not word for word. The trouble is I think word for word! I would so
love it if I could express English poetry into ASL. sigh
Maybe if I try thinking what a whole sentence means and try to
interpret that. But when I was watching some of the ASL comedy
things, I could tell the ones that were voiced were missing something
because when the audiance was laughing so hard, the vocal stuff
just wasn't said in as funny a manner. Its like ASL is a layered language
with several messages riding piggy back on each other all at the same
time. Sure makes a hearing person feel left out. I'm glad my Deaf friends
are so patient with me.
