I grew up with my mother teaching me a little bit of sign language here and there, since she was an interpreter at schools around the state. But she’s since passed away, and I’m really wanting to learn sign language for real.
So does anyone know of a website where I could learn sign language without having to pay for it?
.
Hey there…sorry to hear about your mum…Anyways the following two links aren’t websites. Instead they are to a free download of the e-book ‘The Complete Idiot Guides to Sign Language’. Hope it helps!
p.s. They both lead to the same book, depends on which work.
By far the best one I have seen is http://www.aslpro.com. They have a main dictionary, a religious dictionary, a conversational dictionary, and you can take fingerspelling quizzes. =)
You can learn Spanish for free in http://www.studyspanish.com
It is really good for learning Spanish and it’s free.
You can download Byki language software from Byki.com
Here you can learn 70 languages for free but you have to buy the deluxe version to learn full language. You can download byki lists from list central too.
Good luck to you!
http://www.lifeprint.com has a great dictionary and offers a beginning ASL course FREE. The more advanced classes I think require a one time payment.
This isn’t really classes, but http://www.signingtime.com/forums is a great resource. There’s even a “How Do You Sign……?” section.
You could also go to the following web addresses to see videos containing signs:
http://www.youtube.com/BabyBundle
http://www.youtube.com/EFOMERCIALS
http://www.youtube.com/SigningTime
http://www.signingtime.com/shop?product_bundles=21 – Click each DVD and near the bottom of the page will be a video that has a preview of the DVD. This video contains signs!
http://www.signingtime.com/resources/videos – This page contains tons of videos with signs! Some might be the same as the ones in the link above, but there are some other ones here, especially if you read the text above the video player.
Remember, ASL word order is object-subject-verb, not subject-verb-object like English.
