The system is still very basic and needs to be taught more words other than its current vocabulary of “Hello” and “Sorry”, but this could be ground breaking as a tool for the deaf or hearing impaired.  As well as used as a teaching tool for those wishing to learn ASL.

So good work French guys.  Between this and the whole fry thing, your ok in my book.
