[nabs-l] Learning sign language

[Sam Nelson]

Hi Marissa, 
 This interests me too as we have three deaf people at the residential place
I live in. 
 One of the case managers here was a sign language  interpreter and we were
going to do this thing where I taught him  braille and he taught me  sign.
He had such a busy schedule of course that I taught him about three letters
of braille and he  taught me how to spell my name, (but no other letters)
and the "I/L/u" sign for goodbye. 
 He left to help deaf people in schools. They have a new caseworker to work
with the deaf people but haven't thought to ask her yet. She seems like
she'sstressed with what she has going on. But you never know. 
 I did find that if Andy, the first  case manager took my hand and formed
the sign and I practiced it and he watched me do it I could make the signs
pretty quickly. 
 So I think someone hands on teaching it is important but I don't think it's
impossible. 
 Sam

Hi all,

So, this may sound odd, but I want to learn sign language.  Are their any
good resources that I can download, or listen to, that will teach a blind
person sign language?
