"Are there any home correspondence courses in Basic Sign?"
Imagine not knowing anything about the Mexican culture and living in Mexico, surrounded by spanish speaking people. You are unable to communicate because your native language is English, would you feel lost? confused? frustrated?
Deaf people are likely to live in big cities so that they can reside with people who understand their culture and communicate. Sign language is best learned with a fluent signer to practice with. In addition, there are video courses such as: DawnSignPress, Dictonary of American Sign Language, and multimedia programs that provide access to more help. It is important to remember that each signer is going to have their own unique body language and expression. A learning method such as DawnSignPress may work for one student but may not be practical for another. The best thing to remember is that basic sign is best learned by practice and it is helpful to keep track of the varations of sign.
