However, still my mind boggles with the complexity of Sinhala so am looking forward to some lessons- very very soon... Am amazed and of course incredibly impressed that you made sense of it, i cannot even spell my own name in Sinhala, but now i understand why every sri lankan (hearing and deaf) gave me a different version (because of the silent 'p' in Sophie!), so am excited about the prospect my sinhala may improve yet. Also, have been announcing to everyone and anyone that for the 1st time, Sri Lankan sign language can be accessed on the internet. What an incredible milestone. Hope you are well, and looking forward to the 1st of May! Sophie x Oh my, i had no idea before of how the sinhala finger spelling system works, so thank you adam for this.

I just wanted to say hi and let you know that I'm always thinking about you and your wonderful messages. I do read them, and enjoy being able to share part of this amazing journey with you (as you discribe so much in detail). I have shared some of what you write with the ASL teacher at San Dieguito Academy (I hope you don't mind). Your work is important and so worthwhile to many. Like others say before me, be safe, and your are missed. Love, Marilyn Adam,

I cant remember how the Japanese do fingerspelling, but their language is also highly phonetic & they have a bazillion "letters".. Very interesting :) Loved the graphics here.. but really all i wanted to say is: I miss you! Fascinating!
