Learning American Sign Language Online for FREE
It's a Valuable and Self-Fulfilling Experience
There are many ways that one can learn how to communicate with signs. You can practice with someone who already knows it, you can order videos, get flash cards, or you can try to teach yourself with free resources that can be found online. I've found it to be easier to learn a couple of signs a week at the beginning and then learning more and more depending on the type of conversations you'd like to have. Pretty soon you'll learn so many signs that you'll just go back to the resource page for single signs you need.
When I first began my journey to begin learning American Sign Language I went through a million and one sites that promised you'd learn no matter what if you purchased their products, paid for their e-book or joined their website forums, but at last I found one website that works. It's called the AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE BROWSER.
This website contains just about every sign out there with the word to which it pertains. It's very well organized into separate web pages according to each letter of the alphabet. All you have to do once you've arrived at this website is click on the letter that you wish to open up to view words that begin with it, and then you can open up words that will include the sign that pertains to it.
This site is very easy and quick to surf. Pick 5-10 words that you'd like to learn in signs and then go research them. You can copy paste them to a word document and go back to it during the week for review.
Learning American Sign Language is something important that will help you become more of an asset to any company since you will no longer only be able to speak using your voice, but you will also be able to speak using your hands.
HINT FOR PARENTS:
Many young kids these days are looking for summer projects, they're looking to learn new things all the time since their brains can pretty much catch on to anything they are taught. Use this website to teach them sign language at the same time that you learn it. It can be a wonderful and exciting learning experience for them. They will be able to show off to their friends and family, be able to participate in sign language conversations with the kids in school who are only able to communicate that way and it will open up many doors they never knew could be open to them.

Thanks Serina, I appreciate your concern. I wish I could meet you and learn all that I can from you
Sorry to hear that Jeremy, I was born deaf, and I didnt learn sign language until I was 12. I couldnt imagine not having arms and needing to learn sign language. My cousin battled Meningitis, and lost her arms and legs too, but she communicates with me by my ability to read lips.
I recently became deaf after battling bacterial meningitis, i wish i could learn sign language but along with becoming deaf I lost my arms and legs. Good luck to all who are willing to learn sign language. I can understand it but I dont have hands to communicate with. God Bless All.
i have always had a life long passion to know and and communicate with the deaf. i am in college and have a low grade, what other resources that are available to learn ASL?
hmmm... im trying to do sigh language know a little tho but i want to know more so i can speak to the people and make friends with them then it would be easy for the people who cant speak :)
