[nabs-l] Learning sign language

[Marissa Tejeda]

I know how to say a little bit.  I think I can say, "Hi, my name 
is Marissa."
and, "I love you."
"Thank you."
"Sorry."
and most of the alphabet.  My deaf friend said: "That's pretty 
good, seing as how you wouldn't really use it all that much."

Good afternoon, Gloria,

         Is it really all that different from any other skill,
someone seeks to impart to blinks? i mean, everything takes a 
certain
amount of patience, right?? I think, the best way to go is put 
like
an add on some deaf listserv I'm sure you could GOOGLE, and get a
real deaf person to try helping? I have no idea but know I have
always been pretty intrigued, muyself  by sign language, probably 
due
to its tactile nature.  myself.  If said deaf person couldn't 
himself
teach you, he might have some pointers on a most effective way to
impart this content to you?What do ya say?

Hi,
If any information comes of this please let me know as well.  
That is
also question I have been wondering but wasn't sure where to go
together information on blind people learning sign language.  I
wanted to take a course at a community college, but felt 
discouraged
because the faculty at the community college wasn't sure how a 
blind
person would learn Sign language.  I know there has to be away
because Helen Keller was able to do so.  I guess they're just has 
to
be a person who has a lot of patients and are willing to teach a 
blind person.

 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?
