Am I correct in thinking that when she gets here we would teach her ASL instead of SEE because TSL and ASL use the same grammar format?
Thank you.
That's a tough question, and I doubt I can answer it in a forum post
Is she is a Deaf school in thailand now? If so, which one?
Where do you live in the states? Are you near a Deaf school, or are you planning on a mainstream school?
Do you, or anyone else in your family sign now? If not, the language she will learn will probably be dependent on where she goes to school. Being involved in the Deaf community will be a huge help in the new language acquisition.
You can send me a PM with your email and I can start pointing you to some resources.
Start learning ASL as quickly as you can! It is not an easy language to master.
