Hellooo!

I'm wondering if something like this exist.
Something like a course for ASL which is online and at the end (for example every semester / every half year) you get a certificate.

Not sure if you know what I mean..
I'll try to explain it again in a different way if it's not clear...



--

I saw that signingonline.com offers certificates... but I'm wondering.. are these valueable? or just a 08/15....
(does the proverb 08/15 exist in english??)

Trying to learn ASL online is like.. trying to read instructions on how to ride a bike.

You can read about it all you want, but the only way you're ever going to learn how to do it is getting out there in real life.

That said, I strongly suggest taking a local class, like at a deafness related organization or community college.

Since I don't live in the states it's not really possible to learn ASL.
And that's the problem.
(I guess there is noone who would offer me to talk to me via webcam and teach me a bit... since I'm a slow learner because of something which happend when I was a little kid, I don't want to go on someones nerves..)
But I do agree with you Aleser!

Spice, did you find anything yet?
