Anonymous asked: I want to learn ASL, for when I and/or my partner become nonverbal (which is fairly often for me). But I can't afford classes, not even the more competitively priced ones. Can you or your followers recommend any free or extremely inexpensive ways to go about learning to sign?

autisticadvocacy:

We reblog resources like this frequently, so even if you can’t use what people rec on this post, keep an eye out here! 

Followers, please suggest FREE ASL resources for this anon!

Reblogging so my followers can advise. Sometimes public libraries or local deaf orgs etc might know of free classes, though these are usually taught by volunteers who might not have been trained in the best teaching methods or might not be completely fluent. There are online tutorial videos. Just make sure they are made by deaf signers so you can have more confidence they are correct, not videos by hearing sign language students who may be making a lot of mistakes. Also make sure they are from the right country! For ASL you want the US or English speaking Canada, NOT the UK or Australia etc, which use completely different signed languages (british sign language and auslan) not asl.
