Has anyone here had any luck with learning ASL from home?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I’ve always been really interested in learning asl too, and have the same problem. I’ve resolved to learn once I finish school. Side though, I think what’s really helpful is having some one near you know it and talk you with it regularly. Perhaps some one who would learn with you? Sign language is an easy thing to make yourself practice by going to public places and talking trash about the people around you. :) Given they themselves aren’t deaf. Also, I do hope you’re talking about American Sign Language.
