A common question asked by people just becoming interested in sign language is, “How do I find a sign language class in my area? Many people I know are interested in learning sign language but can’t find classes.” Fortunately, there are many ways to get training in sign language.
College Sign Language Classes
A good place to check out is local colleges and universities. Due to the popularity of sign language, many colleges offer credited and uncredited sign language classes. Some may even have sign language clubs.
Sign Language Classes for Parents
If you are a parent of a deaf or hard of hearing child, check with your child’s school or program. Most routinely offer sign language classes to help parents communicate with their children. These classes may or may not be free.
Deaf Service Organization Classes
Some interpreting agencies also offer sign language classes. Check local speech and hearing centers as well. Contact your state commission on deaf and hard of hearing for referrals. A resource center for deaf and hard of hearing in your area may also be able to provide referrals.
Community Sign Language Classes
Public libraries and country recreational programs frequently offer sign language classes.
Additional Sign Language Class Resources
Info to Go has a short, one-page publication on Locating Sign Language Classes. While you can learn sign language from books and videos, classes provide the human interaction and reinforcement needed to build your confidence. If you can not find sign language classes that allow human interaction, an alternative is sign language classes online. Such classes (not free) are available through SigningOnline.com”
depending on what sign language you are talking about, you could look in a book or even take sign language classes. just look up things in a library or internet.
Learning sign language is actually real easy….Theres a book called “The Joy Of Signing”, and it helps alot if you know deaf people, they could also help you, get the #1 basic down first, your ABC’s and start from there.It’s not hard at all!!
Taking a class is a good start, but there is nothing like actual immersion “speaking” the language. Start with an introductory class. Then volunteer at your nearest deaf/hearing impaired school for a while.
Theres books out that you can buy or ya can look on the net for some… and I think there may be a few on dvd…
There are video tapes that show you the sign and you have a better understanding of what it looks like to sign. When you think you understand enough, go to a deaf school or somewhere they need it. I’ve taken this course twice now and because I didn’t use it, I have lost a lot of the language.
study it a lot
once apon a time in australia the signing for the alphabet was in the front of the yellow pages. but im not sure about it today. maybe call up the local hearing impaired society in your capital city and they may send you out or email some free information.
get in touch with your local hard of hearing branch. Use the internet to obtain more information under the heading…Hard of hearing
take classes

the sign language for dummies is a great book.
Maybe if someone whom already knows can teach you. Or you can invest in a Sign Language book. You also can find information on the subject at hand on the internet.
take a class or read a book.
