learning
Ok, I'm wondering if anyone can recomend some good online places to find how to learn American Sign Language. I'm interested in learning to sign but there are really no classes I can take around here. So I've decided I'll teach myself on my own time instead of taking a class for it, I'll learn just as good. So if anyone can help me out with some good online places to learn ASL that would be great....
Thanks

I'm not sure of any online classes, I myself will be taking ASL next year, and I'm not sure what the book is called. I can ask my counselor if she knows of any.

This negatively affected my tone in ways that I just can't describe.
Then, on a whim, a few years ago I wandered into a Bath and Body Works store at a local mall and picked up some of their gentle foaming anti-bacterial hand cleansers.
The difference in my guitar's sound is so wickedly improved that I no longer feel the need to buy a new amp or pedals or even strings...EVER!
So, it's my belief that tone is in the soap.
Thank you and goodnight.

Okay, sounds good. Because I can't think of anything and I've asked a few people and they don't know either. I've been searching on my own. I found a good class but it's $49.95 for one class!! I thought that was not very good. So I'm still working with what I've got.

$49.95 is pretty cheap. I remember paying at least $70 for some Signing Naturally books. I highly encourage finding a Deaf person to teach you ASL--nothing, not even the best books, cds, websites or videos, can substitute having a living, breathing person to teach you.

My 11 year old daughter is learning pretty quickly by watching the people that sign in our church and listening closely to our pastor. If you had something like that it might be helpful.
