I'm interested in learning sign language. I am totally willing to admit it is because I watching Switched At Birth. I checked out a book on ASL and I've learned the entire alphabet (though I think I need a refresher soon, I can never remember 't' or 'u').
After using the book for a while decided I'd rather learn sign language using videos. Most all signs are formed with movement, and its hard for me to understand exactly what to do from reading descriptions (conversely, the optimistic view is that the descriptions were written poorly).
Right now I'm going through random youtube videos, but it's just random words. I'm going to search for free programs online.
The best way to learn it of course a class. My school actually has an ASL class, but my guidance counselor convinced me that it would look better to colleges if I did 4 full years of a language (Spanish which I suck at, but that's another story). I have some classes that I don't want (sociology of media and business economy), and I could potentially change. They always say you should only ask for I change it you don't have enough credits or are in the wrong class, but some other people get out of classes they don't want, so I don't know what to do.
