Ada,
Compliments of the Saturday!
This is the first blog I have seen on sign language and the deaf.
I suppose you are a tutor of the deaf?
I have linked to your niche blog and I commend you.
Will you teach me the sign language for saying, "Je Ta'me Mon Ami"?
Meaning "I love you my friend".
Cheers and God bless.

Nice blog Ada..
