Hi, I’m 16 years old and very interested in learning how to sign. I’m starting college a year early, so I will be a freshman in the fall and I will be taking spanish (To speak with family) and many other courses so I don’t want to pile too many classes onto my plate. I already know how to do the alphabet and say a few things such as “my name is…”. At work (fast food) I have come across a few customers that are deaf and they always have to write down their order. I think it would be much easier and pretty cool to talk to them, and be fluent in sign language. So I was thinking if I find a good site, I could begin to teach myself and then take classes later on in school. Does anyone know of any websites that I could teach myself with videos, pictures, etc etc to sign?? Please and thank you!

What a brilliant idea, how social you already think at such a young age! I gave you a star for this question.
I only found this (American) site that explains sign language online: http://www.lifeprint.com/.
And here is a (British) one: http://www.british-sign.co.uk/ . Fingerspelling and some more items are free. They also sell I software package. I suggest you explain them your plan; tell them that you are young and that you can’t buy the package, ask them politely for a free version. Maybe you’re lucky.
All the very, very best!
