Yeah...and there's a "but" to that. Much sign language can be read out of books, but try holding a book and practicing sign language; moreover, when I tried sign language with other people, it was in a group where practically everyone was a signer (and talked rapidly with each other, too). I didn't know most of the words and couldn't keep up with them.

There was a promising after school class in ASL many many moons ago, but it was some sort of summer or seasonal program and it fizzled - too many folks around me were English-speakers and I'm also an English-speaker and an English-writer, so guess which language I went with. LOL.
