I am learning ASL and would like to find a group where I will be able to learn and practice ASL to better learn the language.

I know there is (was) a School for the Deaf in Santa Fe, that was located right next to Santa Fe Indian School on Cerrillos Road.  I'm not sure if they were related or not, but I had the impression they were.\n\nI have not heard of anything similar in ABQ, but I haven't researched it yet either...

You could tell her she can find sign language books at like a book store that way she can teach herself. Thats how I learned how to do sign language. I got my books from a Christian bookstore. The main one I use is "The Joy of Signing". I don't know any website to give you cause I've looked all over the internet for some for myself and I didn't have any luck. I hope this will help you a little.

Go online and look for Plimsuer, or Rosetta Stone.  Those sites helped me, good luck!

check out:\nhttp://www.rccsd.org/RKeim/asl_dictionary_sites.htm\n\nThere are ASL links and some lesson stuff on the site.\n\nalso, for abc's and numbers, the kids can play Battleship (or "fingership")\nFor colors and personal descriptions, they can play Guess Who?\nThey can write skits and act them out with sign language\nthey can sign songs as a major assignment\nEstablish "pen pal" relationships with a school for the deaf, so they can learn about how people who are deaf learn and use language.\n\nSend me an email if you want "fingership" or "guess who" game boards.

Try contacting Betsy Winston at Project TIEM Online, at Northeastern University.  She's in the ASL department.  The phone number is (866) 252-1199. You could also try Carol LeCava at the University of Tennessee.  That number is (865) 974-8495.  Both have distance programs and offer bachelor's for interpreting, but I'm not sure how much is online and how much is correspondence.\n\nI got this information by going to the website for the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID).  The website is located at http://www.rid.org/  \nFor more information on Bachelor's programs in interpreting, go to the website, scroll down and on the right hand side under "General Information" click on "Interpreter Training Programs".  When that page opens, click on "Interpreter Training Program Database".  When that page opens, click on "Search for Interpreter Training Programs".  Enter the info you want into the search engine (for program type, enter Distance).  There will be a bunch of colleges popping up.  I checked them out, but the only two that offer bachelor's degrees (rather than associates) are University of Tennessee and Northeastern University.\n\nGood Luck!\n\nPS - If you have to choose between the two programs, and you're at a draw as to where to go, I would go with the University of Tennessee, as they are certified by the Council on the Education of the Deaf (CED).  CED certification applies more to programs training Teachers of the Deaf, but it's still a very worthy consideration if you're down to the wire and need to choose!

Hey!  We really like a site called SLS.  It will allow you to do a search & show you many ppl are in your immediate area, as well as different listings of clubs & events like Meet & Greets in your area.  You can join for free, and it really serves as a great way to find others you may be interested in.  Good luck, and happy swinging :)

One thought: Go to Yahoo "Groups." There are groups devoted to language and translation. I picked up my first translation client by participating in this. Also, when you sign up, you can receive emails with tips for translators (K. Yip and Assoc. sponsors this). The email tips feature links including ways to set up a web site for your business.\n\nGood luck

You should probably contact your local library.  They often have ESOL programs (usually free).  The volunteers are trained native speakers. Good Luck!

I think it depends on your reason for learning sign language.  You may find some cheap classes offered through you community.  A lot of community colleges may offer sign language.  If you happen to live near a school for the deaf you probably could get classes there.  Also if you live in a large city check for Community Services for the Deaf.  Usually large cities have non-profit organizations that will offer classes to the public.

One of the best sites on the web is:\nhttp://www.aslpro.com/\n\nBut, you cant really learn sign from the web or from a book.\n\nShe needs to take classes and mingle with other deaf people.\nThere are deaf clubs and deaf advocacy groups all over the country that would be happy to help her. A lot of regular schools are now teaching sign language as well.

You might try the sign language books at the public library.
