For those of you who know sign language, how did you learn? What tips would you give an adult learner who is trying to learn?

Hello Jill!
I learned from a family member and I watched American Sign Language videos online. I'd recommend watching videos as they are super helpful.

When my (now late) wife lost all of her hearing, the doctor's assistant pointed us to a group that was helping people with all sorts of disabilities. They were teaching ASL and PSL (Personal Signed Language) and we both picked it up quickly. The best advice I can give is to find a group like that where you can practice.

@Offmytrack oh wow, that is great that you had access to those resources. I'm sorry to hear about your wife's passing.
