Any opinions on the free courses at http://startASL.com? I've made it to ASL 1, Unit 5. Just wondering if LifePrint or SignSchool are better courses.
Any recommendations on a print ASL dictionary? Was thinking of picking up RH/Webster's Unabridged.
Due to the visual nature of the language, ASL isn't something you can really pick up online. If you're not able to start a formal class yet - buy a dictionary and start memorizing vocabulary (focus on nouns) until you're able to start learning how to use and manipulate the nouns. I'd recommend avoiding CD/online language programs such as Rosetta Stone and others for the purpose of learning ASL. Its a spatial language and learned best in person.
Try: Random House Webster's ASL Dictionary or Gallaudet's Dictionary of ASL for a good dictionary. As a beginning student, they will be very helpful.
Also, do a bit of searching to find your local Deaf Club/Center. They welcome anyone with a genuine interest in learning the language and are more than happy to start at the beginning.
Here is a good website that offers some free online study. At least, I believe its free. http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101/topics/students.htm
