This interests me. Books or programmes on effective uptake of this language would be good.

I started to learn sign language as a delivery guy at a company I used to work for was deaf. He unloaded our daily deliveries, so worked with him a few hours a day every day. I always felt bad, he could read lips, so you could tell him what to do, but it is always a big strain for him to try and communicate. I learned a few dozen signs pertaining to work but got a new job and have signed them every now and then to not forget and to hopefully one day urge me to make a serious effort to learn

I'm taking a class in ASL at community college this summer. I've been interested in learning for a while. I'm curious to see how well I do - I've been able to learn other languages pretty easily, but ASL is so different.
