I've had some friends say they want to learn sign language. That's COOL! Here are some online sites that will help them, and you if you're interested, too.Handspeak: "Handspeak™ is a subscription-based website, consisting of American Sign Language (ASL) online dictionary, lessons and resources, including Baby Sign, International Sign Language, Emoticon + Bodicon (facial expression + body language), gestures, manual alphabet (fingerspelling) and numeral, Sign stories and arts."
American Sign Language Browser: video clips of signs
ASL Pro
Lesson Tutor: pictures of signs, words and more
Signing Online: "We offer web-based courses, designed to effectively teach you American Sign Language (ASL) at your own pace from anywhere in the world. The courses focus on conversational ASL and make extensive use of digital video to demonstrate the visual nature of signing. The courses are perfect for anyone wanting to learning ASL. State Board Approved Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are available to educators and Continuing Education (CEs) contact hours are available for nurses."
If you are learning sign for your job, or taking a course at school, I would HIGHLY recommend checking out the fee-based sites. They may be a great way to supplement what you are already learning.
While we DO sign in our house, we are also very consistent with helping our children increase their auditory and oral skills, too. I will try to post some sites and programs I've found helpful in that area, as well. ;)

You can also check out www.lifeprint.com for some ASL lessons. This is a great website to print out the signs. :)
