Yeah that's pretty much the same boat i'm in ^^ I'm learning a lot quickly though. Don't let people discourage you from learning. I'm sure it's a wonderful language once we become fluent ^^
Hey I have been signing for over a year now and it does get easier, if you need a Skype buddy my screen name is brandondingo I'm 25 from Virginia. Best wishes to you on your ASL!
