Sign Language Lessons, Information, Product Reviews and Tips to Get Started Learning ASL
My mom is almost completly deaf and we are trying to figure out a fast free way to learn…
.
Go to a comunity center for the deaf, and learn from them.
There are several websites that help allot in learning sign language. The first is: http://www.lifeprint.com
This website offers some great lessons in ASL (American Sign Language) for free! It is a little slow though.
The second: http://www.aslpro.com
ASL pro has the best free ASL dictionary I’ve found. I use it often.I know you want to learn for free, but if there is anyway, I would highly recommend the Signing Time series, that’s how I learned, and it works very well. It is a little pricey though. You might find their DVDs at your local library, or they might even be aired on a tv station you get.
Hope this helps! Happy signing!
I taught my infant daughter to sign from watching Signing Time videos. No, she is not deaf, it just made things easier than waiting for her to start talking She was 5 months old when she first signed eat, more, and done. That was about a month into watching the first videos and signing words to her (all day long). She is now 2yrs 4mo old. She has complete verbal conversations with us and will sign when she has her mouth full. : )
PBS channel was showing the Signing Time videos and we recorded them on our cable DVR, so we have 26 videos.

This site has free lessons. No account but the lesson plans are numbered from 1 through 45 and are very detailed. No videos, uses pictures. Really great site.

It looks like you have to register with them. There is a grammar section also.

And I always use this site with my daughter on my lap. We’ll go through the dictionary words. It’s really great.

I guess for an adult, it wouldn’t take long at all. Good luck.
