Not quite sure where to have put this question. I am really interested in learning sign language, but don't really have the time to study it as a course. Is there anywhere on the internet where I can learn some of it, or a book that teaches you? Thanks

This might be of interest. http://www.learntosign.org.uk/
also be aware when you do learn to sign that just as there are regional dialects, so there are 'regional' signs although the link posted by d0gsb0dy looks very good, I am going to check it out later, but think I need to go in via IE rather than Firefox as it didn't look quite right.

Thanks dogsbody & Jules001! Is there a difference between British and American sign language?

This one's quite good too, I've started with the alphabet which a friend taught me (in the pub!), if you know anyone who can teach you, it's easier to understand sometimes.

yes there is a difference between BSL and ASL - not sure how much of a difference as I studied BSL.

A lot of Americans only use one hand and it is quite different.  My friend whos deaf can't understand it at all, he says it's really confusing.
