<p>I am a senior and would like to spend my summer before starting college fairly productively. I have been wanting to learn sign language for some time now and think this time off would be perfect for that.</p>
<p>Can anyone recommend any programs for this? Either online programs, DVDs, or actual classes? </p>
<p>(I live in the Greater NY/Tri-State Area...)</p>
<p>Good plan!</p>
<p>There are plenty of free and paid courses online. I’d stick with free ones to avoid getting scammed; I found these lessons: [•</a>; ASL • American Sign Language](<a href=“http://www.lifeprint.com/index.htm]•”>ASL American Sign Language).</p>
<p>For in-person classes, I found a one place that might be what you’re looking for, but I don’t know how close you live to the city itself: [Sign</a> Classes](<a href=“http://www.deafcathnyc.org/sign_classes.htm]Sign”>http://www.deafcathnyc.org/sign_classes.htm).</p>
<p>If there are any deaf-related organizations in your area, you should call them to inquire about courses they might be aware of.</p>
<p>Wow! Thank you so much. Your post is super helpful. I will check out those links. Anyone else with advice?</p>
