- Howdy Jennie,
-
- JS> I agree. The whole theory of Bicultural/bilingual is to use the
- JS> minority language (ASL) if that is what they know and communicate
- JS> with, and use that to teach them English and the properties thereof.
-
- Shouldn't we learn a language that would enable us to communicate with
- MORE people instead of learning one that enables us to communicate with
- LESS??? This is the reason why, if I'd have a choice (supposing I
- wasn't bilinguial) between learning english or ASL, I wouldn't even
- think about it two seconds. I would learn english!!! I would want to
- communicate with more people, not less.
-
- JS> Make sense?
-
- Yep! <GGG>
-
- HB>Come on Jennie!!! I know you ain't trying to start anything!!!
-
- JS> You sure? Maybe I like to see people get irate...NOT! I'm just
- JS> testing the waters out there. hehehehe
-
- You're doing great! Don't worry about me. I'm an Arie and VERY hard
- headed but I also love humor.... ;-))) So you're quite safe with me

- JS> Hmmm, I could think that you're teasing me about the southern drawl,
- JS> Hugues. Naw, you wouldn't do that. ;-)

-
- Sure thing!
-
- Hugues
-
- JS> ps--If this makes absolutely no sense, just diregard it. I have been
- JS> cranking out research papers and abstracts on research papers etc etc.
-
- WHAT shouldn't make any sense!?!?! Everything is ok by me! You asked
- for an opinion and I gave you mine, so where's the problem??? You ask
- me, there isn't any!!
-
- JS> I'm not too sure how much of my brain is left. Argh!! <grin>
-
